MasterCam Programmer

Machine Programmer Job Description

This role focuses on programming and operating CNC routers using Mastercam for 3-axis and 5-axis machining in a varied, project-based environment. You will independently create programs, run parts, and develop new programs while current jobs are in process, ensuring efficient and accurate production of complex components.

• Program CNC routers using Mastercam for 3-axis and 5-axis machining operations.
• Independently set up, program, and operate CNC routers from start to finish.
• Create, modify, and optimize CNC programs to meet project specifications and quality standards.
• Run the programmed part while simultaneously developing the next program to maximize machine uptime.
• Interpret and work from blueprints and technical drawings to ensure accurate machining.
• Adjust programs and machining parameters as needed to improve efficiency and part quality.
• Work on a variety of projects, adapting to different part requirements and non-repetitive work.
• Maintain a high level of accuracy and attention to detail in all programming and machining tasks.
• Collaborate with team members as needed while maintaining the ability to work independently.
• Troubleshoot programming or machining issues and implement effective solutions.

• At least 2 years of experience programming 3-axis or 5-axis CNC routers.
• Proficiency in Mastercam for CNC programming.
• Hands‑on experience operating CNC routers in addition to programming.
• Ability to program and run parts independently with minimal supervision.
• Strong understanding of 3-axis and 5-axis machining processes.
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints and technical drawings.
• Demonstrated ability to work quickly, effectively, and with a go-getter attitude.
• Experience specifically with CNC routers rather than lathes or mills.

• Experience with CATIA is preferred but not required.
• Familiarity with EasySTONE CAD/CAM is a plus.
• Strong CNC programming skills across multiple software tools.
• Ability to adapt to a fast-paced, production-oriented environment after a short learning period.
• Comfort working on varied, non-repetitive projects rather than high-volume production runs.

You will join a close-knit, family-oriented environment that values long-term opportunities and independent work. The role offers the autonomy to manage your own programming and machining work from a dedicated office space, while still being part of a supportive team. You can expect a stable setting where your initiative, craftsmanship, and problem-solving skills are recognized and appreciated.

The position is based in a 15,000-square-foot, temperature-controlled warehouse in a production environment. The facility operates at a fast pace once you are fully up to speed, with an initial learning curve period of approximately 2–3 weeks to help you adapt to processes and expectations. You will primarily work with CNC routers, supported by modern CAD/CAM tools, in a setting that balances hands‑on shop‑floor activity with time in your own office for programming and planning.
