Job description

Your mission

Deliver bulletproof CAM packages—fast. As an Aerospace CNC Programming Specialist at Hadrian, you will convert complex geometry into efficient, reliable programs and fixtures that scale from first‑article to hundreds of repeat units while feeding insights back into our automation stack.

Impact you will make
  • Own programming for close‑tolerance parts; meet or exceed internal standards for safety, quality, and consistency.
  • Document unambiguously: produce setup/run guides that enable even minimally experienced operators to achieve first‑pass success.
  • Strengthen our internal software: flag bugs, surface workflow friction, and suggest improvements—immediately and clearly.
  • Close the loop: integrate shop‑floor feedback to optimize cycle times, tool life, and program robustness.
  • Standardize outputs so hundreds of parts run with repeatable quality and predictable lead times.
  • Design best‑in‑class fixturing in Siemens NX using 3‑2‑1, Poka‑Yoke, and equation‑driven features; follow disciplined CAD design‑tree practices.
  • Exploit hyperMILL and NX—and maximize Hadrian’s Co‑Pilot CAM—throughout programming.
  • Communicate crisply across email, messaging, and Microsoft Office to keep stakeholders aligned.
What you’ll work with
  • Machines: 5+ axis VMCs and 5+ axis CNC lathes.
  • CAM ecosystems: hyperMILL, Siemens NX; plus exposure to Mastercam, Esprit, SprutCAM, Autodesk Fusion 360, ProMill, HSMWorks, BobCAD, Surfcam, GibbsCAM, and Mazatrol.
Core qualifications
  • Track record programming 3‑ and/or 5‑axis CNCs in production for high‑precision components.
  • Experience in aerospace or similarly demanding sectors.
  • Safety discipline, quality rigor, and strong tool selection judgment.
  • Comfort with GD&T and reading CMM reports to isolate variation and correct processes.
  • Bias for experimentation and adoption of new methods in live production.
  • Integrity under pressure; team‑centric problem solving.
Preferred experience
  • Materials: steels, stainless, titanium, Inconel.
  • 5‑axis mastery; mill‑turn exposure.
  • On‑machine probing integrated into programs.
  • Manufacturing analytics to spot patterns, trends, and inefficiencies.
  • Lifelong learner with literacy in Industry 4.0, IoT, AI in manufacturing, and lean.
Technical proficiencies
  • GD&T
  • Equipment troubleshooting
  • CNC programming
  • G‑code
  • M‑code
  • CNC machine setup & changeover
  • Advanced inspection & gauge measurement
Why Hadrian
  • Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance
  • 401(k)
  • Potential relocation support based on business need
  • Flexible vacation policy
