How much do cnc mastercam programmer jobs pay per hour?

As of Aug 13, 2026, the average hourly pay for cnc mastercam 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 some typical challenges faced by CNC Mastercam programmers when working with complex parts or tight tolerances?

CNC Mastercam Programmers often encounter challenges when programming for intricate geometries or parts requiring very tight tolerances. These complexities can lead to issues such as tool path optimization, tool selection, and avoiding collisions during machining. Programmers must also ensure that the generated code produces parts that meet quality standards while maintaining efficiency and minimizing machine downtime. Close collaboration with machinists and engineers is often necessary to troubleshoot problems and refine the manufacturing process.

What is a CNC Mastercam programmer?

CNC Mastercam Programmers are skilled professionals who use Mastercam software to create precise instructions (G-code) for CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines. They design, write, and optimize programs that control machining tools such as mills, lathes, and routers to produce parts and components based on engineering drawings or CAD models. Their role involves understanding both the technical capabilities of the machines and the requirements of the project to ensure efficiency, accuracy, and high-quality production. Mastercam Programmers often collaborate with engineers, machinists, and quality control teams to troubleshoot issues and improve manufacturing processes.

What is the difference between Cnc Mastercam Programmer vs Cnc Machinist?

AspectCnc Mastercam ProgrammerCnc Machinist
CredentialsOften requires Mastercam certification, technical training, or associate degreeHigh school diploma or equivalent, on-the-job training
Work EnvironmentDesigning and programming CNC machines, CAD/CAM software useOperating CNC machines, setting up and maintaining equipment
Industry UsageUsed in manufacturing, aerospace, automotive for programming CNC toolsUsed across manufacturing sectors for machining parts

The main difference is that a Cnc Mastercam Programmer focuses on creating and optimizing CNC programs using Mastercam software, while a Cnc Machinist operates and sets up CNC machines based on those programs. Both roles are essential in manufacturing, but the programmer emphasizes software and programming skills, whereas the machinist emphasizes machine operation and physical setup.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a CNC Mastercam programmer?

To thrive as a CNC Mastercam Programmer, you need expertise in CNC machining processes, a solid grasp of technical drawings, and proficiency in Mastercam software, often backed by vocational training or certification. Familiarity with CAD/CAM systems, G-code programming, and machine operation is essential, along with certifications like NIMS or Mastercam credentials. Attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and strong communication skills help ensure accuracy and effective collaboration with manufacturing teams. These skills are vital for producing precise components, optimizing workflow, and maintaining high-quality standards in a competitive manufacturing environment.

**

Acero Precision is seeking an experienced Senior CNC Programmer to program, setup, prove out, and optimize complex medical device components on advanced Mazak 5-axis and multi-tasking equipment.

This is not a desk-only programming role.

You will own the complete manufacturing process - from programming and machine setup through first article inspection, process validation, and production launch - while providing technical leadership to a team of skilled machinists.

If you enjoy solving challenging manufacturing problems, developing efficient machining strategies, mentoring machinists, and working with world-class technology, we want to hear from you.

**Equipment You'll Work With

**

Our advanced machining environment includes:

  • Mazak Variaxis 5-Axis Machining Centers

  • Mazak Integrex 100 and 200 with lower turrets

  • Mazatrol Programming Systems

  • Mastercam CAD/CAM Software

  • Advanced Multi-Axis Milling and Turning Technologies

**Why This Opportunity Stands Out

**

  • Competitive hourly compensation based on experience

  • Overtime opportunities available

  • 2nd Shift Differential: Additional 15%

  • 3rd Shift Differential: Additional 30%

  • Weekend premium opportunities

  • Relocation Assistance available

  • Paid training on advanced manufacturing technologies

  • State-of-the-art climate controlled facility

  • Modern 5-axis and Swiss machining environment

  • Multiple affordable health insurance plan options, including no-cost HSA plans for eligible employees

  • Dental and vision coverage

  • 401 (k) with employer match

  • 100% paid uniforms

  • 100 hours PTO during your first year of employment

  • 7 paid holidays annually

  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

  • Wellness Coach Program Access

**What You'll Manufacture

**

You will support the production of highly engineered medical device components requiring:

  • Tight dimensional tolerances

  • Superior surface finishes

  • Complex multi-axis machining strategies

  • Precision features and critical geometries

Material include:

  • Stainless steel

  • Titanium

  • Speciality alloys

  • Engineering-grade plastics

**What You'll Do

**

  • Develop complete machining strategies for complex medical device components

  • Program, setup, and optimize Mazak Variaxis and Integrex platforms

  • Create CNC programs using both Mazatrol and Mastercam

  • Perform machine setups, prove-outs, and production launches

  • Conduct first article inspections (FAIs) and support validation activities

  • Establish tooling, fixturing, and workholding requirements

  • Troubleshoot machining, tooling, and process-related issues

  • Improve cycle times, reduce waste, and increase manufacturing efficiency

  • Interpret engineering drawings, GD&T requirements, surface finish specifications, and revision levels

  • Support and mentor machinists to ensure low-error, on-time production performance
