Computer Numerical Control Programmer

We are seeking an advanced CNC Programmer to support our high-mix prototype and production shop. This role delivers complete manufacturing packages—including NC code, setup sheets, and simulation files, for 3-axis, 5-axis, and mill-turn machines.

• 8+ years of advanced CNC programming experience
• Expert-level work holding and fixture design capabilities
• Proficiency programming 3-axis, 5-axis, and mill-turn machines
• Ability to deliver complete manufacturing packages: NC code, setup sheets, and simulation files
• Strong understanding of machining processes, tooling, and cutting strategies

• Develop optimized NC code for 3-axis, 5-axis, and mill-turn operations
• Create detailed setup sheets with tooling, fixturing, and work offset information
• Generate simulation files to verify programs before release to production
• Deliver complete manufacturing packages ready for floor execution

• Design custom fixtures and work holding solutions for complex parts
• Optimize work holding strategies for efficiency and part quality
• Collaborate with machinists on fixture implementation and refinement

• Select appropriate cutting tools, speeds, and feeds for optimal performance
• Balance cycle time reduction with tool life and part quality
• Support prototype-to-production transitions with scalable programming solutions
• Work closely with manufacturing engineers and machinists
• Troubleshoot programming issues and implement corrective actions
• Provide technical guidance on machining capabilities and limitations

This position operates in a machine shop environment with exposure to noise, moving machinery, and metal working fluids. Safety glasses and appropriate PPE are required at all times.
