Two Direct-Hire openings are available:

  • 3-Axis CNC Programmer/Machinist- $30-40 per hour

Why This Opportunity?

  • Work on complex aerospace & defense components
  • State-of-the-art CNC equipment and brand-new machines and tooling
  • High-mix, low-volume machining environment
  • Significant investment in expanding machining capabilities
  • Opportunity to help build and improve machining processes
  • Work alongside experienced machinists and programmers
  • Excellent opportunity for someone who wants to keep learning and growing
  • Take ownership of your work from program to finished part


What You'll Do

  • Program CNC machines using Mastercam 2027
  • Develop machining, tooling and workholding strategies
  • Create and optimize multi-axis toolpaths
  • Model tooling and holders and verify collision-free programs
  • Simulate and prove out programs
  • Set up machines, establish work offsets and probing routines
  • Run and monitor parts you personally programmed
  • Troubleshoot programming, tooling, setup and machining issues
  • Inspect completed parts for conformance to specifications
  • Optimize feeds, speeds, toolpaths, cycle times and processes
  • Help develop and improve machining processes as the department grows
