Job Title: CNC Programmer
Job Description

We are seeking a highly skilled CNC Programmer to support a growing precision manufacturing operation producing complex, high-tolerance components. This position plays a critical role in developing, optimizing, and maintaining CNC programs for multi-axis machining centers while partnering closely with Machinists, Engineering, and Quality teams to improve efficiency, reduce cycle times, and ensure world-class product quality. This is an excellent opportunity for a hands‑on programmer who enjoys solving manufacturing challenges, improving processes, and working with advanced machining technologies.

• Develop, modify, and optimize CNC programs using Mastercam CAD/CAM software.
• Create machining strategies for complex components on 3‑axis, 4‑axis, and 5‑axis CNC machining centers.
• Program and support horizontal machining centers, including pallet‑changing systems.
• Interpret blueprints, CAD models, engineering drawings, and GD&T requirements.
• Select tooling, fixtures, work holding, feeds, and speeds to maximize efficiency and tool life.
• Simulate and validate programs prior to release to ensure accuracy and eliminate collisions.
• Support first article inspections, new product introductions, and process validations.
• Troubleshoot machining and programming issues, making improvements to cycle times, quality, and machine performance.
• Work closely with Manufacturing Engineering, Production, and Quality teams to support continuous improvement initiatives.
• Create and maintain setup sheets, tooling documentation, revision control records, and machining standards.
• Drive initiatives focused on reducing setup times, scrap rates, downtime, and overall manufacturing costs.
• Ensure compliance with all safety, quality, and operational procedures.

• 8+ years of CNC programming experience in a precision manufacturing environment.
• Advanced Mastercam programming experience required.
• Strong experience programming 3‑axis, 4‑axis, and 5‑axis CNC machining centers.
• Proficiency reading blueprints, CAD models, and GD&T specifications.
• Solid understanding of machining processes, tooling selection, work holding, cutting parameters, and process optimization.
• Experience supporting prototype development, first article production, and production machining.
• Knowledge of ERP/MRP systems and manufacturing software.
• Strong troubleshooting, analytical, and problem‑solving abilities.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate across multiple departments.

• Associate's Degree in Manufacturing Technology, Engineering Technology, Machining, or related field preferred.
• Experience with horizontal machining centers preferred.
• Familiarity with Solid Works, CATIA, Creo, or similar CAD platforms is highly desirable.
• Experience working within AS9100, ISO 9001, aerospace, medical device, or other regulated manufacturing environments preferred.

Enjoy comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance plans, FSA/HSA plans, paid holidays, and a gym membership. Benefit from tuition reimbursements, a 401(k) plan with company match, paid time off, and employee engagement events. Additionally, we offer a referral bonus program, life insurance and AD&D coverage, short‑term and long‑term disability insurance, parental leave, and paid family leave. Plus, much more!

Our team‑oriented environment focuses on safety, quality, and production. The work is conducted in a manufacturing/machine shop setting with exposure to machinery, noise, and standard shop conditions. The schedule is Monday‑Friday from 6:00 AM to 2:30 PM. The role requires standing for extended periods with frequent movement.
