Lead CNC Programmer

Responsibilities

You start your 1st-shift morning reviewing prints with GD&T callouts, mapping a setup plan for 3-, 4-, and 5-axis vertical mills. You load tooling, prove out programs on Fanuc controls, and fine-tune G-code/M-code for optimal feeds and speeds. Between changeovers, you program and run positional indexers for multi-face machining, validate first-piece dimensions with precision gages, and collaborate with teammates to keep production flowing.

You report directly to the Shop President, turning challenges into repeatable, high-precision processes.
