What is a freelance work from home CNC programmer?

A freelance work from home CNC (Computer Numerical Control) programmer is a professional who creates, modifies, and tests code for CNC machines, such as mills, lathes, or routers, on a contract or project basis while working remotely. They use specialized software to design precise instructions that guide manufacturing equipment to produce parts or products.

To thrive as a Freelance Work From Home CNC Programmer, you need expertise in CNC programming, computer-aided design (CAD), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), often backed by a technical diploma or relevant certifications. Familiarity with industry-standard software like Mastercam, SolidWorks, or Fusion 360, and knowledge of G-code and M-code, is essential. Strong problem-solving abilities, time management, and effective communication with clients make a freelancer stand out in this role. These skills and qualities are crucial for delivering precise, high-quality parts, meeting deadlines, and building a reliable client base remotely.

Job description

Help Shape the Next Phase of Growth

A major international supplier of precision cutting tools in the Upstate, SC serving the automotive, aerospace, defense, and industrial markets is expanding its engineering team and seeking a CNC Programmer with strong NC programming expertise.

We're looking for someone who can go beyond simulation and actively develop, troubleshoot, and optimize machining programs for complex manufacturing applications. You'll work alongside project engineers and technical specialists while helping establish a critical technical capability that will support the organization's next phase of growth.

If you enjoy solving complex machining challenges, working directly with customers, and making a lasting impact on a growing engineering team, this opportunity offers a unique blend of technical depth, autonomy, and career development.

What You'll Do

  • Develop and optimize NC programs for 3-, 4-, and 5-axis CNC machining applications
  • Create and validate tool paths using CAD/CAM and simulation software
  • Post-process programs and make real-time adjustments on production equipment
  • Support quoting activities by developing machining and tooling strategies
  • Collaborate with engineering teams on process development and project execution
  • Travel to customer locations for machine prove-outs, runoffs, and program optimization
  • Troubleshoot machining issues and improve cycle times, tool life, and process performance
  • Generate setup sheets, tooling documentation, and machining reports

What We're Looking For

Required

  • Proven experience programming 3-, 4-, and 5-axis CNC machines
  • Strong NC/G-code programming skills
  • Experience simulating tool paths and post-processing programs
  • Solid understanding of machining strategies, cutting tools, feeds, speeds, and metal removal processes
  • Ability to troubleshoot and adjust programs directly at the machine
  • Strong mechanical aptitude and the ability to think in 3D
  • Self-driven, positive, and collaborative approach

Preferred

  • Experience with Mastercam, HyperMill, Siemens NX, Creo CAM, Fusion 360, or similar CAD/CAM platforms
  • Vericut or comparable simulation software experience
  • Digital twin or virtual machining experience
  • Field service, commissioning, or customer-facing technical experience a plus

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Brand-new role with the opportunity to help build a growing technical function
  • International exposure and training opportunities
  • Direct access to leadership and decision-makers
  • Growing engineering team with significant expansion plans
  • Collaborative, team-oriented culture
  • Highly technical work focused on solving complex manufacturing challenges
  • Opportunity to work on projects across multiple industries

Travel & Training

  • Travel typically under 20%, with higher travel possible during project ramp-up phases
  • International training and collaboration opportunities available
  • Ongoing support from a global technical team

Benefits

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage (90% of medical plan cost is covered by the company (~$120 per month for family coverage)
  • 401(k) with immediate eligibility, Day 1 eligibility & matching
  • Tuition reimbursement
  • Flexible spending accounts
  • Generous PTO package
  • 12 paid holidays
  • Relocation assistance available for the right candidate

If you're an experienced CNC programmer looking for a role that combines technical challenge, customer interaction, international exposure, and long-term growth potential, we'd love to speak with you.
