Cnc Machining Engineer information

What is a CNC machining engineer?

CNC Machining Engineers are professionals who design, develop, and oversee the manufacturing processes involving Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines. They program, set up, and optimize CNC equipment to produce precision parts and components, ensuring quality and efficiency. Their role often includes working with CAD/CAM software, troubleshooting machining issues, and collaborating with design and production teams. CNC Machining Engineers are essential in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing, where precision engineering is critical.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a CNC machining engineer?

To thrive as a CNC Machining Engineer, you need expertise in machining processes, CAD/CAM software, materials science, and a relevant engineering degree. Familiarity with CNC programming languages (such as G-code), experience with CNC machinery, and certifications like NIMS or Six Sigma are highly valuable. Analytical thinking, problem-solving ability, and strong attention to detail are essential soft skills that set candidates apart. These skills and qualifications are crucial for ensuring efficient, precise, and high-quality manufacturing in a competitive industrial environment.

What are some common challenges CNC machining engineers face when working with new materials or complex part designs?

CNC Machining Engineers often encounter challenges such as optimizing machining parameters for unfamiliar materials, which can require extensive testing to prevent tool wear or poor surface finishes. Complex part geometries may necessitate advanced fixture design and creative programming strategies to ensure precision and manufacturability. Collaboration with design engineers is also crucial to address potential manufacturability issues early on and to suggest design modifications that improve production efficiency without compromising quality.

What is the difference between Cnc Machining Engineer vs Cnc Programmer?

AspectCnc Machining EngineerCnc Programmer
CredentialsTypically requires a degree in engineering or manufacturing technology, with certifications in CNC machiningOften requires technical training or certification in CNC programming, with some engineering background
Work EnvironmentDesigns machining processes, oversees production, and ensures quality in manufacturing settingsDevelops and writes CNC code, tests programs, and troubleshoots machine operations
Industry UsageUsed across manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, and industrial sectorsPrimarily found in manufacturing and machine shops

While both roles involve CNC technology, Cnc Machining Engineers focus on process design and optimization, whereas Cnc Programmers specialize in creating and testing CNC code to operate machines efficiently.

Job description

Senior CNC Programmer (3 & 5-Axis)

Richfield, WI | Full-Time | 1st Shift (5:45 AM - 2:15 PM) | $42.00–$56.00/hour

Program the Parts Others Can't.

Some shops run the same programs every day. We don't.

At Strohwig, we specialize in manufacturing complex, high-precision components for the aerospace, defense, energy, and other demanding industries. Our customers come to us because their parts require creativity, precision, and technical expertise—not because they're easy.

We're looking for an experienced Senior CNC Programmer who enjoys solving difficult machining challenges, optimizing toolpaths, and pushing manufacturing processes to the next level.

If you're the kind of programmer who gets excited by difficult parts, tight tolerances, and finding a better way to machine something, you'll fit right in.

Why Strohwig?

For more than 40 years, Strohwig has invested in advanced machining technology, engineering expertise, and talented people. Our 210,000-square-foot manufacturing facility is equipped with state-of-the-art CNC machining centers, including advanced 5-axis capabilities, allowing us to tackle projects that many shops simply can't.

You'll work alongside experienced machinists, engineers, and programmers who value collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement.

This isn't a production programming job—it's an opportunity to solve challenging manufacturing problems every day.

What You'll Do

As a Senior CNC Programmer, you'll:

  • Create and optimize CNC programs for complex 3-axis and 5-axis machining operations using PowerMill CAM software
  • Develop efficient machining strategies that maximize productivity while maintaining exceptional quality
  • Analyze engineering drawings, GD&T, models, and customer specifications
  • Select tooling, workholding, cutting strategies, and machining parameters
  • Collaborate with machinists, operators, engineers, and manufacturing teams to improve processes and reduce cycle times
  • Troubleshoot machining challenges and continuously improve existing programs
  • Support new product launches and prototype development
  • Mentor programmers and machinists by sharing programming knowledge and best practices
  • Drive continuous improvement in machining efficiency, quality, and productivity
What We're Looking ForRequired Qualifications
  • Two or more years of CNC programming experience
  • Experience programming 3-axis and 5-axis CNC machining centers
  • Experience with CAM software (PowerMill experience is highly preferred)
  • Strong understanding of machining processes, tooling, and cutting parameters
  • Ability to read engineering drawings, blueprints, and GD&T
  • Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills
  • Strong attention to detail
  • Ability to work independently while collaborating with cross-functional teams
Preferred Qualifications
  • Five or more years of CNC programming experience
  • Experience programming complex aerospace or high-precision components
  • Apprenticeship, technical degree, or equivalent training
  • Experience with fixture design and machining strategy development
  • Knowledge of Lean Manufacturing and continuous improvement practices
Benefits

We believe great employees deserve great benefits.

  • Medical & Vision Insurance
  • Company-Paid Dental Insurance
  • Company-Paid Long-Term Disability Insurance
  • Company-Paid Life & AD&D Insurance
  • Supplemental Insurance Plans Available
  • 401(k) with Company Match
  • Paid Time Off (PTO)
  • Unpaid Excused Absences
  • Company-Paid Uniforms
  • Training & Apprenticeship Opportunities
  • Safety Shoe & Glasses Reimbursement Program
  • Gym Membership Reimbursement Program
Why You'll Love Working Here
  • Earn $42.00–$56.00 per hour
  • Program complex parts—not repetitive production work
  • Work with advanced CNC machining technology and 5-axis equipment
  • Collaborate with highly skilled machinists and engineers
  • See your programming ideas become reality on the shop floor
  • Join a company that continually invests in new technology and employee development
  • Build a long-term career with one of Wisconsin's premier precision manufacturers
