Mastercam Programming information

What are some common challenges Mastercam Programmers face when working with complex parts, and how can they address them?

Mastercam Programmers often encounter challenges when programming complex geometries, such as intricate contours or multi-axis toolpaths. These situations require careful planning to avoid collisions, ensure optimal surface finishes, and maintain efficient cycle times. Collaborating closely with machinists and engineers can help identify potential manufacturing issues early on. Additionally, regularly updating Mastercam skills and staying current with software updates can greatly improve problem-solving and productivity when handling difficult projects.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Mastercam Programmer, and why are they important?

To excel as a Mastercam Programmer, you need strong skills in CNC machining, CAD/CAM software proficiency, and a solid understanding of manufacturing processes, typically supported by technical training or certification in Mastercam. Familiarity with Mastercam software, G-code programming, and CNC machine operation is crucial for producing accurate toolpaths and efficient machining. Attention to detail, problem-solving ability, and effective communication with machinists and engineers are essential soft skills. These competencies ensure the creation of precise parts, minimize errors, and optimize production efficiency in a manufacturing environment.

What is Mastercam programming?

Mastercam programming refers to the process of using Mastercam software to create toolpaths and generate G-code for CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines. This software enables programmers to design parts, simulate machining operations, and optimize cutting processes for manufacturing. Mastercam programmers convert CAD models into instructions that CNC machines use to fabricate parts with precision and efficiency.

Job description

Aerospace CNC Machinist & Mastercam Programmer

Locations: Trenton, MI and Taylor, MI

Company: Steel Tool & Engineering Co. (Aerospace Precision Machining & Fabrication) — AS9100‑certified and NADCAP‑accredited

Your day, engineered for precision

Begin your shift by reviewing complex blueprints and GD&T, planning the best approach for each aerospace component. You’ll set up CNC Horizontal Lathes, Vertical Turning Lathes (VTL), vertical machining centers, and 5‑axis machining centers; load material; select tooling; and dial in machine parameters. You’ll program and edit with Mastercam, run first‑article parts, and verify results against exacting tolerances, analyzing CMM reports and applying precise tool wear offsets at the controller.

Through the day, you’ll fabricate custom fixtures, jaws, or tooling when the job demands it, tackle troubleshooting on the fly—from tool wear to program logic—and keep your work area inspection‑ready. Collaboration is part of the rhythm: coordinate with supervisors, support fellow operators, share tips, and help mentor junior teammates. Above all, you’ll uphold aerospace‑grade quality, safety, and productivity targets with consistent attendance and reliability.

Role snapshot
  • Full‑time, hourly
  • Pay: $18.25–$22.25+ per hour (based on experience)
  • Shifts: 6:00am–4:30pm, 12:00pm–10:30pm, 3:30pm–2:00am (additional $1.00/hour night shift premium)
What you’ll take on
  • Set up and operate CNC Horizontal Lathes, VTLs, mills, and 5‑axis machining centers
  • Program and edit CNC code in Mastercam; adjust G‑code at the control as needed
  • Load materials, set tooling and offsets, verify parameters, and run production per spec
  • Identify and correct non‑conformances; drive corrective actions
  • Interpret CMM results and apply accurate tool wear offsets
  • Build custom fixtures, jaws, and tooling for specialized jobs
  • Read and interpret detailed blueprints, GD&T, and technical drawings
  • Hold tight aerospace tolerances and adhere to quality standards
  • Troubleshoot machining, tool wear, and program issues
  • Perform routine maintenance; maintain a clean, organized workspace
  • Collaborate across shifts; support and mentor junior operators
  • Meet or exceed safety, quality, and productivity goals; maintain excellent attendance
What you bring
  • Hands‑on expertise in CNC setup, operation, and adjustments
  • Proficiency with Mastercam programming and G‑code editing
  • Skilled with precision measurement: micrometers, calipers, height and bore gauges
  • Comfort working with aerospace‑grade materials and sheet‑metal components
  • Mechanical aptitude, strong problem‑solving, and clear communication
  • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and stand for long periods
  • Ability to mentor junior operators and contribute to continuous improvement
Preferred proficiencies
  • Equipment, mechanical, and general troubleshooting
  • Mechanical assembly and manual machining skills
  • Machine setups for production runs
  • Meets physical requirements; High School diploma/GED
  • Excellent communication; basic computer literacy
  • Measurement tools: calipers and micrometers
  • Experience in a manufacturing environment
Equipment & technologies
  • CNC Mill (3–4 axis VMC)
  • CNC Mill (5+ axis VMC)
  • CNC Lathe (2–4 axis)
  • CNC Lathe (5+ axis)
Benefits
  • Honored Vacation Time Off
  • 100% employer‑paid medical insurance; or a $300/month waiver if you carry your own coverage
