CNC Programmer
We are a well-established, family-owned manufacturing company that has been a trusted name in the industrial equipment space for decades. This organization specializes in the design and fabrication of highly engineered, custom heat transfer systems and pressure vessels used across a range of critical industries.
Position Overview:
We are seeking a detail-oriented CNC Programmer to develop, optimize and document CNC programs for precision parts production. The role focuses on converting engineering drawings into efficient, accurate CNC programs using CAD/CAM tools (including Mastercam), supporting machine setup, and collaborating with machinists and quality teams to meet production, cost, and quality goals.
Key Responsibilities:
- Create and optimize CNC programs from engineering drawings and specifications.
- Generate toolpaths and post-process code using Mastercam and other CAM software.
- Translate part geometry into efficient machining strategies, selecting cutting tools, feeds, speeds and operations.
- Test and debug programs through simulation and on-machine dry runs; revise programs based on results.
- Support machine setup and first-article runs; work directly with CNC machinists to resolve issues during production.
- Maintain accurate program libraries, setup sheets, tooling lists and documentation for production.
- Collaborate with engineers and quality inspectors to ensure parts meet dimensional and surface-finish requirements.
- Drive continuous improvement by reducing cycle time, minimizing tooling costs, and improving part quality.
- Follow safety procedures and maintain a clean, organized shop environment.
Qualifications:
- Associate degree, technical diploma, or equivalent experience in machining, manufacturing technology, or a related field.
- 3+ years of CNC programming experience in a production environment.
- Proven proficiency with Mastercam (toolpath creation, post-processing, and simulation).
- Hands-on experience as a CNC machinist, including setup, fixturing, and operation of mills and lathes.
- Strong understanding of G-code, CNC controls (e.g., Fanuc, Haas), tooling, feeds and speeds.
- Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, and inspection data.
- Familiarity with materials, cutting tools, and machining processes for metals and plastics.
- Excellent problem-solving, communication and teamwork skills; able to work cross-functionally with engineering and quality teams.
- Detail-oriented, organized, and committed to meeting production schedules and quality standards.
- Willingness to work flexible hours or shifts as required by production demands.
