CNC Programmer

The CNC Programmer II supports high‑precision machining operations by creating, optimizing, and maintaining CNC programs for complex components across a variety of machines. The role involves translating engineering models and drawings into efficient machining processes, including tool selection, fixture design, and programming toolpaths using CAM software.

• Develop and optimize CNC programs for mills, lathes, and multi‑axis CNC machines using CAM software (e.g., Edgecam, Gibbs Cam, Siemens NX, etc.).
• Design and/or specify fixturing and work holding solutions to ensure repeatable setups, part stability, and machining accuracy.
• Analyze quality data and assist with root‑cause investigations for machining‑related nonconformances; implement corrective programming changes.
• Identify and lead process‑improvement initiatives to reduce cycle times, improve tool life, and reduce scrap and rework.
• Collaborate with Engineering, Quality, and Production teams to ensure manufacturability and support new product introduction.
• Assist in the development of capital investment plans, supporting machine and fixture capability requirements.
• Provide mentorship to CNC operators and programmers, promoting skill development and consistency in process execution.

• Minimum of 3 years of CNC machining and programming experience, or a 2‑year degree in a manufacturing, machining, engineering, or industrial technology‑related field.
• Experience with CAM software (e.g., Edgecam, Gibbs Cam, Siemens NX, etc.).
• Strong understanding of geometry and trigonometry fundamentals.
• Ability to accurately read, interpret, and apply engineering part prints and technical drawings.
• Legal authorization to work in the United States.
