Woodworking Cnc Programmers Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Employment Type: Full-Time
Schedule: Monday-Friday, 7:00 AM-4:00 PM
Work Location: On-Site
Compensation: Competitive, based on experience

We are seeking a skilled Millwork Engineer / CAD Designer to join our team and support the production of architectural woodworking and millwork projects from design through manufacturing and installation.

This position is responsible for taking architectural drawings and developing detailed shop drawings for review and approval by architects, general contractors, construction managers, and customers. Approved drawings are then used by our CNC operators, bench carpenters, and installation crews to bring the project to completion.

The ideal candidate will have a strong command of AutoCAD combined with hands-on knowledge of woodworking, cabinetry, carpentry, and architectural millwork. Experience with CNC programming software is highly beneficial, but we are willing to train the right candidate who has the necessary AutoCAD and woodworking foundation.

We are looking for someone who can work efficiently, demonstrate a sense of urgency, communicate effectively, and take ownership of their work with minimal supervision.

• Draft and review detailed AutoCAD shop drawings for architectural woodworking and millwork projects.
• Interpret architectural drawings, plans, and specifications and translate them into accurate, production-ready shop drawings.
• Coordinate drawings and details to ensure designs are practical for manufacturing, fabrication, and installation.
• Prepare CNC machine programs using CAD/CAM software such as WoodWOP, WoodCAD|CAM, and CutRite.
• Coordinate with CNC operators, bench carpenters, installers, project managers, and other team members throughout the production process.
• Revise drawings based on architect, customer, GC/CM, and internal feedback.
• Ensure drawings and CNC programs accurately reflect project requirements and approved designs.
• Identify potential fabrication or installation issues before they reach production.
• Manage assigned projects and tasks efficiently while maintaining accuracy and attention to detail.
• Work independently and complete assignments without requiring constant direct supervision.
• Maintain a strong sense of urgency while meeting project deadlines and production schedules.

• Strong proficiency in AutoCAD.
• Working knowledge of woodworking, cabinetry, carpentry, or architectural millwork.
• Ability to read and interpret architectural drawings and construction documents.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to produce accurate technical drawings.
• Ability to work independently and prioritize multiple tasks.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills.
• Positive attitude and willingness to learn.
• Strong work ethic and a sense of urgency.

• Experience with WoodCAD|CAM.
• Experience with Microvellum / iX.
• Experience with WoodWOP or CutRite.
• Previous experience programming CNC machinery for woodworking or millwork applications.
• Experience producing shop drawings for architectural millwork or custom woodworking projects.

A two-year degree is not required for this position.

We are primarily interested in what you can do, not simply what is listed on your résumé. Candidates who can demonstrate strong AutoCAD skills, understand woodworking and millwork, and effectively communicate within a manufacturing and construction environment will be considered.

We are willing to train the right candidate on CNC programming and our specific CAD/CAM software if they already possess a strong foundation in AutoCAD and woodworking.

The successful candidate will be someone who:

• Takes ownership of their work.
• Can perform assigned tasks with minimal supervision.
• Works efficiently and with a sense of urgency.
• Has a strong attention to detail.
• Is comfortable working in a fast-paced production environment.
• Communicates well with teammates and other project stakeholders.
• Has a positive, team-oriented attitude.
• Is willing to learn new software and processes.
• Understands that accuracy in the engineering and drafting process directly impacts fabrication, CNC production, and field installation.

• Competitive compensation based on experience.
• Full health benefits.
• Paid Time Off (PTO).
• 401(k).
• Full-time, Monday-Friday schedule.
• Opportunity to develop additional expertise in CNC programming, CAD/CAM, and architectural millwork engineering.
