As a CNC Laser Programmer, your day typically involves interpreting engineering drawings, programming CNC lasers using specialized software, and optimizing cutting paths for efficiency and material usage. You’ll collaborate with engineers and production staff to resolve design or technical challenges, oversee prototype and production runs, and perform troubleshooting or quality checks on finished parts. This role often requires balancing multiple projects and responding to tight deadlines, all while ensuring the machines run smoothly and safely. Your expertise contributes directly to product quality and operational efficiency, making you an essential part of the manufacturing team.
To thrive as a CNC Laser Programmer, you need a solid understanding of CNC machinery, blueprint reading, CAD/CAM software, and a technical qualification such as a degree or certification in manufacturing technology. Familiarity with programming languages like G-code, and experience using systems such as Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, or similar are highly valued. Attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and effective communication are key soft skills in this role. These competencies are critical for ensuring precise fabrication, smooth workflow, and adherence to project specifications in a manufacturing environment.
A CNC Laser Programmer is responsible for creating and optimizing the programs that control CNC laser cutting machines. They use CAD/CAM software to design cutting paths, select appropriate materials and settings, and ensure efficient machine operation. Their role involves troubleshooting, improving production efficiency, and collaborating with engineers and machinists to meet project specifications.

SUMMARY
This position requires comparable knowledge and performance in all phases of CNC machining and 5-axis CNC laser cutting, including setup, operation, and program editing. The role involves producing close-tolerance aerospace parts and tooling using CNC lathes, mills, and 5-axis laser equipment. The ideal candidate is experienced in working with various metal alloys, interpreting complex engineering drawings, and maintaining high standards of quality. Moderate physical activity is required, including lifting, bending, and prolonged standing.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Set up and operate CNC lathes, mills, and 5-axis CNC laser machines
Configure fixtures, vises, and rotary tables for accurate machining and cutting operations
Pick up part and fixture locations to establish proper machining and cutting planes
Machine and cut parts to required tolerances and dimensions based on engineering drawings
Perform mathematical calculations for angular and linear dimensions during fabrication and setup
Select proper tooling and perform tool setup, including hand-grinding tools when necessary
Inspect parts using precision measuring instruments (calipers, micrometers, height gauges, indicators, etc.) to ensure compliance with specifications
Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve machining or laser-related issues in a timely manner
Communicate machine, program, or quality issues to management promptly
Maintain consistent quality and accuracy standards while meeting production requirements
Follow all engineering, traveler, and shop instructions
Collaborate with team members and support cross-functional shop operations
Perform additional duties as assigned
On-Site: This role is required to be on-site 3 days (5AM-5:30PM) at the El Cajon, CA location.
