Why This Role Exists

Ricaurte Precision is expanding rapidly due to increased demand for complex, tight-tolerance components across aerospace and advanced manufacturing programs. This role exists to support new programs, additional machine capacity, and continued investment in 5-axis machining and lights-out automation.

As a CNC Programmer at RPI, your work directly impacts part quality, repeatability, and throughput in a technology-first, high-precision environment.

The Work Youโ€™ll Be Doing

In this role, you will:

  • Program 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis CNC mills, along with live-tooling lathes, Swiss machines, and Wire EDM
  • Review CAD models, blueprints, and GD&T to develop efficient machining strategies
  • Select tooling, holders, feeds & speeds, and machining sequences for hard metals and engineered plastics
  • Match part requirements to the best machine platform (Matsuura, Okuma, Nakamura, Citizen, Robodrill, etc.)
  • Support machinists with setups, troubleshooting, and process optimization
  • Collaborate with programming, machining, and quality teams to ensure accuracy, repeatability, and efficiency
  • Assist with quoting, process planning, and continuous improvement initiatives
  • Contribute to tooling strategies, fixture concepts, and machining best practices

This is a hands-on programming role with real shop-floor involvementโ€”not a desk-only position.

What Weโ€™re Looking For

Required

  • 3โ€“5 years of CNC programming experience in a precision machining environment
  • Experience programming hard materials (titanium, Inconel, stainless, tool steels, engineered plastics) on 3- or 4-axis mills
    OR experience programming 5-axis mills (including aluminum-only environments)
  • Strong understanding of feeds & speeds, toolpath strategy, and GD&T
  • Ability to work closely with machinists and support shop-floor execution
  • Growth mindset and interest in advanced automation and modern CNC technology

Preferred (Not Required)

  • Experience programming Matsuura 5-axis machines
  • Strong proficiency with Mastercam or ESPRIT
  • Aerospace or medical machining experience
  • Familiarity with AS9100 environments

  • Challenging work on complex, non-routine parts
  • Real collaboration between programming, machining, and quality
  • Investment in tools, software, and special-request equipment
