Computer Numerical Control Programmer

Job Description

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being hands-on in the shop, solving complex machining challenges, and helping drive smarter, more efficient CNC processes.

You’ll play a key role in developing and refining CNC programs, improving setup consistency, and supporting machinists and engineers on the floor—particularly in high-precision, multi-axis environments.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Develop, optimize, and support CNC programs for milling, turning, and grinding operations
• Create and validate toolpaths using CAD/CAM software and simulation tools
• Partner with machinists, manufacturing engineers, and tooling teams to improve setups, cycle times, and repeatability
• Establish machining best practices and standardized processes across departments
• Support prototype development, process trials, and new program rollouts
• Troubleshoot machining or programming-related quality issues and support corrective actions
• Assist with fixture, work-holding, and tooling strategy development
• Provide hands-on technical guidance and training to shop-floor personnel

What They’re Looking For

• 7+ years of CNC machining experience (mill, lathe, and/or grind)
• 5+ years of CNC programming experience in a production environment
• Strong Siemens NX experience required
• Familiarity with FANUC and Okuma controls preferred
• Experience with VERICUT or similar simulation software a plus
• Comfortable machining and programming superalloy materials
• Ability to read and interpret complex drawings and manufacturing documentation

Why This Role

• High-precision, complex machining work (multi-axis, tight tolerances)
• Clean, climate-controlled manufacturing environment
• Strong emphasis on quality, safety, and continuous improvement
• Opportunity to influence machining standards and processes—not just write programs
