CNC Machinist​/Programmer – Injection Mold

Location: Indianapolis, IN |
Schedule: Full-time, on-site

A precision CNC machining manufacturer in Indianapolis, IN is seeking experienced CNC Machinists/Programmers to support complex, high-tolerance work for the aerospace, defense, space, and medical device industries. This is not a high-volume, simple-parts programming environment; programmers here work with complex geometries, extremely tight tolerances, modern CNC equipment, and advanced CAM software to develop machining processes for mission-critical components. The company operates within AS9100D and ISO 13485 quality systems and offers an environment where experienced programmers can tackle challenging work, improve processes, and continue developing their technical expertise.

• Develop CNC programs for complex 5-Axis CNC Mill, Multi-Axis CNC Turning, and Swiss CNC Machining operations
• Program precision components for a variety of applications across multiple industries
• Develop and optimize machining strategies for complex geometries and tight-tolerance parts
• Utilize advanced CAM software and G-code to create efficient, reliable CNC programs
• Review engineering drawings, specifications, and GD&T requirements
• Determine appropriate machining methods, tooling, work holding, speeds, feeds, and cutting strategies
• Troubleshoot programming and machining issues during setup, first article, and production
• Optimize programs to improve cycle time, tool life, part quality, and overall machining efficiency
• Partner with machinists, engineering, and quality/metrology teams to validate programs and processes
• Support first-article inspection and make programming adjustments as needed
• Maintain programming and process documentation in accordance with established quality requirements
• Support existing production with program modifications and continuous process improvements

• Proven experience as a CNC Machinist/Programmer in a precision machining environment
• Strong experience programming 5-Axis CNC Mill, Multi-Axis CNC Turning Center, and/or Swiss CNC Machining operations
• Proficiency with CNC CAM software
• Strong understanding of G-code and CNC machining fundamentals
• Experience machining complex parts to tight tolerances
• Ability to read and interpret complex engineering drawings and specifications
• Strong knowledge of GD&T
• Understanding of tooling, work holding, cutting strategies, speeds, and feeds
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving abilities
• High attention to detail and commitment to producing quality parts

• Experience with in aerospace, defense, medical device, space, or another highly regulated precision manufacturing environment preferred
• Familiarity with AS9100 and/or ISO 13485 quality standards is a plus

• Competitive compensation based on experience

This role offers the opportunity to program challenging, high-precision CNC components rather than repetitive production work, using modern CNC machining technology and advanced programming tools on projects serving aerospace, defense, and medical applications.
