Job description

Job Summary

We are seeking a highly skilled and floor-active CNC Programmer & Manufacturing Engineer to join a stable, growing manufacturing team. You will work with some of the best equipment in the industry, programming and optimizing complex, high-end parts for 5-axis mills, mill-turn lathes, Swiss turning centers, and Wire EDMs, with a special focus on turning operations.

This is not a desk-bound role. We need an experienced programmer who thrives on the shop floor—spending ample time at the machines validating programs, observing machine responses, and making real-time optimizations and adjustments. You will take true process ownership from start to finish, driving New Product Introduction, and working closely alongside operators to ensure they are fully equipped to see every part through to success.

Why Join Us?

  • Meaningful Work & Ownership: Take true pride in your craft by owning new product launches end-to-end, guiding complex, high-end parts from initial programming to final floor validation.
  • Advanced Technology: Operate state-of-the-art, high-precision equipment—including 5-axis mills, mill-turns, Swiss lathes, and Wire EDM.
  • Growth & Stability: Join a highly stable, growing company with limitless opportunities to expand your skills across a diverse range of machines.

Compensation

  • $100 - $130k / yr

Shift

  • 1st shift: Monday - Friday
  • 6am - 4pm or 7am - 5pm

Responsibilities:

  • Floor-Active Programming: Spend significant time out on the shop floor validating parts at the machine, monitoring machine response, and making real-time program optimizations and adjustments.
  • CAD/CAM Execution: Utilize Mastercam and SolidWorks to program complex, high-precision parts for a diverse range of advanced CNC equipment.
  • Process Ownership & NPI: Lead New Product Introduction (NPI), establish highly efficient machining processes, design custom fixtures, and determine accurate production routing.
  • Operator Collaboration: Work hands-on with machine operators, providing troubleshooting support and ensuring they have the tools, documentation, and knowledge required to successfully run the parts.
  • Turning & Multi-Axis Focus: Develop robust programs across the facility, applying a specialized expertise in turning operations while supporting milling, mill-turns, and Swiss centers.
  • Documentation: Create, update, and maintain comprehensive setup sheets, tool lists, routing instructions, and production documentation to ensure repeatable success.

Requirements

Qualifications:

Required

  • Experience: Extensive background as a CNC Programmer with a specialized focus in turning, supported by solid milling experience.
  • Software: Advanced proficiency in both Mastercam and SolidWorks
  • Work Style: Proven comfort and preference for a floor-active programming role; must be able to step away from the desk to validate parts and troubleshoot directly at the spindle.
  • Technical: Deep understanding of total process ownership, from NPI and fixture design to complex part routing and documentation.
  • Teamwork: Excellent communication skills with the ability to partner with standard operators to dial in processes and equip them for production runs.

Preferred

  • Advanced Machining: Hands-on experience programming for 5-axis mills, mill-turn machines, Swiss turning centers, precision grinders, or Wire EDM.
  • Materials: Experience programming and machining high-end parts using exotic metals or complex alloys.
  • Education: Technical/trade school certification or additional advanced machining/programming education.

Benefits

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k)
  • Paid time off and paid holidays
