Senior Programmer Analyst Jobs in Wisconsin (NOW HIRING)

Richfield, WI | Full-Time | 1st Shift (5:45 AM - 2:15 PM) | $42.00–$56.00/hour

Some shops run the same programs every day. We don't.

At Strohwig, we specialize in manufacturing complex, high-precision components for the aerospace, defense, energy, and other demanding industries. Our customers come to us because their parts require creativity, precision, and technical expertise—not because they're easy.

We're looking for an experienced Senior CNC Programmer who enjoys solving difficult machining challenges, optimizing toolpaths, and pushing manufacturing processes to the next level.

If you're the kind of programmer who gets excited by difficult parts, tight tolerances, and finding a better way to machine something, you'll fit right in.

For more than 40 years, Strohwig has invested in advanced machining technology, engineering expertise, and talented people. Our 210,000-square-foot manufacturing facility is equipped with state-of-the-art CNC machining centers, including advanced 5-axis capabilities, allowing us to tackle projects that many shops simply can't.

You'll work alongside experienced machinists, engineers, and programmers who value collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement.

This isn't a production programming job—it's an opportunity to solve challenging manufacturing problems every day.

As a Senior CNC Programmer, you'll:

• Create and optimize CNC programs for complex 3-axis and 5-axis machining operations using PowerMill CAM software
• Develop efficient machining strategies that maximize productivity while maintaining exceptional quality
• Analyze engineering drawings, GD&T, models, and customer specifications
• Select tooling, workholding, cutting strategies, and machining parameters
• Collaborate with machinists, operators, engineers, and manufacturing teams to improve processes and reduce cycle times
• Troubleshoot machining challenges and continuously improve existing programs
• Support new product launches and prototype development
• Mentor programmers and machinists by sharing programming knowledge and best practices
• Drive continuous improvement in machining efficiency, quality, and productivity

• Two or more years of CNC programming experience
• Experience programming 3-axis and 5-axis CNC machining centers
• Experience with CAM software (PowerMill experience is highly preferred)
• Strong understanding of machining processes, tooling, and cutting parameters
• Ability to read engineering drawings, blueprints, and GD&T
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills
• Strong attention to detail
• Ability to work independently while collaborating with cross-functional teams

• Five or more years of CNC programming experience
• Experience programming complex aerospace or high-precision components
• Apprenticeship, technical degree, or equivalent training
• Experience with fixture design and machining strategy development
• Knowledge of Lean Manufacturing and continuous improvement practices
