How much do aerospace cnc programmer jobs pay per hour?

As of Jun 9, 2026, the average hourly pay for aerospace cnc programmer in the United States is $30.96, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $25.48 and $34.86 per hour, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What are Aerospace CNC Programmers?

Aerospace CNC Programmers are specialized professionals who create and optimize computer programs that control CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines used in the manufacturing of aerospace parts and components. They interpret engineering drawings and convert them into precise instructions that guide automated machinery to produce high-quality, complex parts from metals and composites. Their work is essential for ensuring that aerospace parts meet strict safety, quality, and performance standards. Aerospace CNC Programmers often collaborate with engineers and machinists to troubleshoot production issues and improve manufacturing processes.

What is the difference between Aerospace Cnc Programmer vs Machinist?

AspectAerospace Cnc ProgrammerMachinist
CredentialsTechnical certifications, CAD/CAM software skillsBlueprint reading, machining experience
Work EnvironmentManufacturing facilities, aerospace industryMachine shops, manufacturing plants
Job FocusProgramming CNC machines for aerospace partsOperating and setting up CNC/machining tools

The main difference is that Aerospace Cnc Programmers focus on creating precise CNC programs for aerospace components, requiring specialized software skills and certifications. Machinists operate and set up machines directly, often with less emphasis on programming. Both roles are essential in manufacturing but differ in their primary responsibilities and skill sets.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Aerospace CNC Programmer, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Aerospace CNC Programmer, you need expertise in CNC programming, CAD/CAM software proficiency, and a solid understanding of aerospace manufacturing processes, typically supported by a degree or technical certification in machining or engineering. Familiarity with technical tools such as Mastercam, CATIA, Siemens NX, and experience operating multi-axis CNC machines are essential. Strong attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and effective communication are standout soft skills in this role. These skills ensure precision, safety, and efficiency in producing complex aerospace components that meet strict industry standards.

How much do aerospace programmers make?

Aerospace CNC programmers typically earn between $60,000 and $90,000 annually, depending on experience, certifications, and location. Skilled programmers with knowledge of CAD/CAM software and precision machining can earn higher salaries, especially in advanced manufacturing environments.

What are some common challenges Aerospace CNC Programmers face when working with complex aircraft components?

Aerospace CNC Programmers often encounter challenges related to tight tolerances, intricate geometries, and the use of advanced materials like titanium or composites. These factors require meticulous programming, frequent simulation, and close collaboration with engineers and machinists to ensure manufacturability and compliance with stringent aerospace standards. Additionally, staying up-to-date with evolving CNC software and maintaining clear documentation are crucial for efficiency and quality assurance. Overcoming these challenges helps programmers contribute to safe and reliable aircraft production.
