Job description

Job role: NC Programmer Location: Auburn, WA (Onsite) Duration: 12+ months Pay range: $60-65/hr Description: Join a high-performing fabrication team supporting aerospace structural production in Auburn, WA. As a contractor in our Machining/Tooling team, you'll drive the NC programming, setup documentation, and machining strategy for complex multi-axis parts used on commercial airplanes. You will collaborate closely with planning, aerospace engineering, tooling, and shop-floor operators to turn engineered concepts into producible, high-quality parts. This role is ideal for hands-on programmers who enjoy solving machining challenges, optimizing workflows, and seeing their programs executed on the shop floor. Primary Responsibilities
  • Create, verify, and revise Machine Control Data (MCD), tooling geometry, and setup documentation for multi-axis CNC machines (primarily 5-axis).
  • Interpret engineering drawings, planning documentation, and manufacturing requirements to develop robust NC programs for aluminum and hard-metal parts.
  • Develop multiple setups and operations for complex part geometries, ensuring fixturing, tooling, and machine selection support producibility and tolerances.
  • Produce clear setup sheets and operator instructions that enable consistent and safe machine operation.
  • Use simulation/verification tools (e.g., Vericut) to validate programs and eliminate collisions or gouges prior to shop-floor execution.
  • Troubleshoot and iterate programs based on first-article inspections, in-process feedback, and shop-floor testing.
  • Coordinate with planning, manufacturing engineering, tooling design, and machine operators to optimize cycle times, reduce scrap, and address manufacturability concerns.
  • For Level 4: Lead the design of custom fixtures and complex tooling arrangements and define machining strategies across multiple operations and machines.
  • Maintain program documentation, revisions, and configuration control per company/contract requirements.
  • Work under general direction.
Required Skills
  • 5 years of NC programming experience for production machining or equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • Demonstrated experience programming 5-axis CNC machines for aerospace parts (aluminum and hard metals).
  • Proficiency reading and interpreting engineering drawings, GD&T, and manufacturing documentation.
  • Proficient in CATIA V5 NC programming.
  • Proficient in NC simulation/verification tools such as Vericut.
  • Ability to create clear setup documentation and operator instructions.
  • Able to work 2nd shift schedule as specified.
  • Contractor eligibility to work under the terms of the engagement.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Prior experience creating custom fixtures and tooling for multi-setup machining operations.
  • Experience defining machining strategy and selecting appropriate machines and processes for part families.
  • Familiarity with aerospace manufacturing processes, inspection practices, and first-article requirements.
  • Strong problem-solving skills with a track record of reducing cycle times or improving producibility.
  • Effective communicator with experience collaborating across planning, engineering, and shop-floor teams.
  • Experience with additional CAM systems or post-processors commonly used in aerospace environments.
Custom Fields
  • International Travel Required: No
  • Direct/Indirect: Direct
