The CNC Programmer is responsible for creating, optimizing, and maintaining CNC programs to support the manufacturing of precision components used in aircraft interiors. This role requires a strong understanding of aerospace‑grade materials, tooling strategies, and machining processes to ensure efficiency, accuracy, and compliance with aviation standards. It establishes standards for specification and documentation to manage the deployment of materials, parts and processes.

• Produce CNC machine programming for commercial aircraft interior manufacturing.
• Develop, test, and optimize CNC programs for 3‑, 4‑, and 5‑axis milling machines, routers, and lathes.
• Interpret engineering drawings, CAD models, CATIA models, and technical specifications to define machining requirements.
• Select appropriate cutting tools, fixtures, and machining strategies to ensure precision and efficiency.
• Work closely with Manufacturing Engineers, Design Engineers, and Machine Operators to ensure seamless program handoff and part manufacturability.
• Perform program simulations and first‑article inspections to validate accuracy and compliance with aerospace standards.
• Maintain and update CNC program libraries, tool lists, and setup documentation.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives in machining processes to reduce cycle times, improve tool life, and minimize waste.
• Troubleshoot machining issues and provide technical support on the shop floor.
• Ensure compliance with AS9100, FAA, and other aerospace manufacturing standards.
• Work to written standards and take on challenging new part designs that are outside standard.
• Create and release CNC Operator Documents, sketches, and may include traditional tool designs.
• Assign work and train lower‑level department personnel.
• Mentor junior‑level co‑workers.
• Takes on special assignments or projects from Manager.
• Lead Lean activities and Kaizens, and promote and support 6S, Kaizen, and other Safran‑sponsored Lean activities.
• Support production shifts as needed and provide feedback to Manager and Manufacturing Engineers concerning tool‑plan performance.
• Engage in CATIA software tool designs and NC programs per tool planning schedule.
• Manage tool‑plan performance to schedule and oversee shop‑floor support.

• Education: Associate's degree or technical certification in CNC programming, Manufacturing Technology, or related field (Bachelor's degree preferred).
• Experience: 5+ years of CNC programming experience in aerospace, automotive, or precision manufacturing environment.
• Computer
  
  Skills:
  
  Proficiency with CAM software (e.g., Mastercam, CATIA V5, Siemens NX, or similar). Strong understanding of GD&T, engineering drawings, and 3‑D CAD models.
• Hands‑on knowledge: Machining aerospace…
