CNC Programmer – 1st Shift

Glen Burnie, MD

Schedule:

1st Shift, 7a-3:30p Monday-Friday

Pay: $40-$57/hour depending on experience

ITAR site: U.S. person status required

A precision machining company serving the aerospace and defense sector is adding a senior CNC Programmer to its Glen Burnie shop. This is a hands‑on programming seat covering the full shop: 2-3 axis mills, mill‑turn and live‑tooling lathes, and 3 2 indexed multi‑axis mills, all programmed in Mastercam 2025. You take parts from print to verified, production‑ready NC code, and you are the go‑to person when a setup gets complicated.

• Program parts in Mastercam 2025 across 2-3 axis mill, lathe/mill‑turn (live tooling and sub‑spindle transfer) and 3 2 positional multi‑axis work, picking the right process for each part
• Read engineering prints including GD&T and turn tolerance and finish requirements into sound toolpath, tooling and work holding decisions
• Plan work holding and setup sequencing (multi‑setup mill parts, sub‑spindle transfer, indexed orientations) to control cost, cycle time and stacked location error
• Select tooling, feeds and speeds for the material and operation instead of relying on defaults
• Verify programs in solid and machine simulation (fixture, holder, turret and trunnion models) before release to the floor
• Maintain and troubleshoot post processors and control definitions; root‑cause posted‑code issues such as rotary axis output, canned‑cycle mismatches and offset errors
• Write clear setup sheets: tool lists, work offset and plane assignments, setup notes
• Support first‑article runs and troubleshoot in‑process issues (chatter, finish, thread fit, transfer marks)
• Drive cycle time reduction and repeatability on running production jobs

• 5 years of CNC programming, hands‑on with Mastercam (2025 or recent versions)
• Proven 2-3 axis mill programming: pocketing, contouring, drilling/tapping, multi‑setup planning
• Proven lathe/mill‑turn programming: OD/, grooving, threading, live tooling/C‑axis; sub‑spindle transfer a strong plus
• Proven 3 2 positional multi‑axis programming: plane/WCS strategy, multi‑orientation work offsets, collision‑aware verification
• Working knowledge of G‑code and post structure; able to read, troubleshoot and hand‑edit posted code
• Solid feeds, speeds and tooling knowledge for aluminum, stainless and alloy steels
• Print reading with GD&T and machinist‑level shop math
• U.S. person status (ITAR)

• Fanuc, Siemens or Fanuc‑style control experience
• Training or mentoring junior programmers
• CMM and inspection familiarity
• Continuous simultaneous 5‑axis programming

• Full benefits package; details shared during the interview process

• Office and shop floor; PPE required on the floor (safety glasses, hearing protection, steel toes)
• Typical plant lighting and ambient temperatures
• Sit or stand as needed, walking on level surfaces, reaching and lifting documents and materials, occasional work in tight spaces
