Originally established as Fibreworks Composites in 2009 by Guenther Steiner and Joe Hofmann, we grew to become the largest privately-owned composite manufacturer in the U.S. In 2019, we launched Composite Factory, an AS9100 / ISO-certified sister company serving the Aerospace, Aero Structures, Aviation, Defense, and Medical industries—sectors that demand the highest levels of traceability, certification, and quality. Now fully operating under the Composite Factory name, we have united our teams, experience, and capabilities under one brand.

Rooted in motorsports, we are fully vertically integrated, bringing engineering, machining, tool-making, and production under one roof to deliver advanced Composite Structures with speed, precision, and unmatched quality. Join a team pushing the boundaries of advanced composites and building the future of the industry!

The CNC Programmer is responsible for developing, optimizing, and maintaining CNC programs for complex 3- and 5-axis machining in the aerospace, defense, and motorsports industries. Working closely with the Machining Manager, this role ensures parts meet Composite Factory manufacturing standards while maintaining high precision and quality. The Programmer will oversee first article production, identifying and troubleshooting process issues, making necessary adjustments, and ensuring compliance with quality assurance procedures.

Additionally, they will leverage their technical expertise to develop and refine machining processes, taking full ownership from program conception to final production.

• Develop 3- and 5-axis CNC programs for machining complex aerospace and motorsports components in various materials, including alloy steels, stainless steels, aluminum, tooling boards, and composites.
• Create comprehensive work packages, including CNC programs, setup sheets, tool lists, and related documentation for machinists.
• Analyze engineering drawings and specifications to develop CNC programs and efficient machining processes.
• Utilize program verification and crash protection software to prevent machine incidents and ensure program accuracy.
• Collaborate with manufacturing engineers and machinists to develop detailed work instructions, sketches, and shop floor documentation.
• Assist in designing and developing manufacturing fixturing and tooling to optimize production.
• Provide shop floor support, troubleshooting technical and manufacturing issues as needed.
• Work with engineering and quality teams to implement root cause analysis and corrective actions to minimize non-conformances.
• Continuously improve production processes by implementing Lean manufacturing principles and modern machining techniques.
• Ensure adherence to quality, safety, and production requirements, maintaining compliance with engineering tolerances and workplace policies.
• Perform all other duties as assigned.

• High school diploma or General Educational Development (GED) required.
• 5+ years of machining experience, preferably in aerospace or mold making, with an additional 5+ years in CNC programming (Mastercam preferred).
• Strong working knowledge of CNC machining, G & M codes, CAD/CAM software, and the ability to manipulate 3D models for precision machining.
• Ability to analyze and interpret engineering drawings, mechanical documents, and blueprints to develop accurate CNC programs and machining processes.
• Proven problem-solving and troubleshooting skills to diagnose…
