What is an NX programmer?

An NX Programmer is a professional who uses Siemens NX software to create CNC programs for machining operations. They develop toolpaths, generate G-code, and refine machining processes to optimize efficiency and precision. NX Programmers work closely with engineers and machinists to ensure accurate part manufacturing. Their role is essential in industries like aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing, where high-precision machining is required.

What are the typical daily responsibilities of an NX programmer?

As an Nx Programmer, your daily responsibilities include creating and optimizing CNC programs using Siemens NX software to produce precision parts and assemblies. You will interpret engineering drawings, set up and test simulations, and collaborate closely with engineers and machinists to ensure manufacturability and quality standards are met. Additionally, you may troubleshoot production issues, update documentation, and propose improvements to enhance manufacturing efficiency. This role often involves both independent programming work and teamwork to support ongoing production and new product development projects.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the NX programmer position, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Nx Programmer, you need a strong grasp of CNC programming, 3D modeling, and manufacturing principles, typically supported by a degree in engineering or advanced manufacturing technology. Proficiency with Siemens NX software, computer-aided design (CAD) tools, and familiarity with industry standards or certifications such as Siemens NX Certification are essential. Strong problem-solving, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help you excel in cross-functional manufacturing teams. These skills ensure accurate and efficient part production, seamless collaboration with engineers and machinists, and adherence to complex project specifications.

With the first generational leap in rocket engine technology since Apollo, our proprietary Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine and Venus Detonation Ramjets deliver historic efficiency and performance across aerospace applications. We are building the next generation of propulsion platforms that enable breakthrough capabilities in space, defense, and commercial high-speed flight. Our team thrives on solving the toughest engineering challenges and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in aerospace. At Venus, we’re looking for bold engineers and innovators who want to make history and redefine the future of propulsion.
 
The Role: CNC Programmer
This is a hands-on, high-impact opportunity for an experienced CNC Programmer who wants to build complex, precision hardware in a fast-moving, engineering-driven environment. You’ll take ownership of advanced multi-axis machining work, turning challenging designs into high-quality components.
 
Beyond running machines, you’ll partner closely with engineering, influence manufacturing strategy, and help elevate shop standards in quality, safety, and performance. If you’re motivated by technical challenge, tight tolerances, and meaningful hardware, this role offers real ownership and growth.
What You’ll Get To Do
  • Program and support high-precision, quick-turn projects, as well as small-batch production jobs, with the same attention to detail.
  • Look critically at all part processes to drive efficiency and improve quality by interfacing with engineers, machinists, and designers.
  • Complete machining operations from blueprints, drawings, models, and verbal instructions.
  • Plan, program, set up, and help prove out parts on our 3-, 4-, and 5-axis NC machines.
  • Give feedback to engineering, including early process reviews, and receive feedback from customers to improve quality at the machine.
  • Print-to-part manufacture of precision tooling and rocket hardware.
  • Develop processes and procedures to maintain our manufacturing excellence. 
  • Be a value-added voice in decisions related to tooling and machine choice. 
  • Bring solutions to hard problems by communicating clearly and conscientiously. 
  • Provide a critical eye to every detail to ensure success of hardware. 
  • Use your experience to set the standards in operations and maintenance, while working smart to maintain a healthy and safe environment to ensure we all make it “Home for Dinner.”
  • Collaborate closely with a tight-knit team of driven industry experts, united by a shared mission and exceptional teamwork.
  • Grow your leadership and teamwork skills. 
What You Have
  • High school diploma or equivalent 
  • 5+ years of CNC programming experience, including 5+ years hands-on experience setting up and operating 5-axis Mills or Lathes
  • Experience or exposure to multiple controls including: Fanuc, HAAS and Okuma 
  • Proficiency with CATIA (DELMIA) programming suite; Mastercam experience is a plus 
  • Ability to read and troubleshoot G-code before it gets to the shop floor and in process at the machine
  • Comprehensive understanding of GD&T and Blueprint reading skills 
  • Proficiency with metrology tools such as dial indicators, bore gauges, micrometers, calipers, and other common inspection tools 
  • Deep knowledge of cutting tools, a strong basis for speed and feed selections across material groups/types, and a desire to expand your knowledge base
  • Ability to work directly with designers in an R&D environment  
  • Excellent communication and written skills 
  • Excellent coordination and mechanical skills 
  • Computer proficiency  
  • Proficiency in shop math  
  • Willingness to work in a dynamic prototype/R&D environment 
  • Ability to lift 50 pounds 
What Will Set You Apart
  • Experience designing in Siemens NX and Catia
