About the role
You'll work with complex geometries, extremely tight tolerances, modern CNC equipment, and advanced CAM software to develop machining processes for mission-critical components.
What you would own
- Develop CNC programs for complex 5-axis milling, multi-axis turning, and Swiss lathe operations Program precision components for a variety of applications across multiple industries.
- Develop and optimize machining strategies for complex geometries and tight-tolerance parts.
- Utilize advanced CAM software and G-code to create efficient, reliable CNC programs.
- Review engineering drawings, specifications, and GD&T requirements Determine appropriate machining methods, tooling, workholding, speeds, feeds, and cutting strategies.
- Troubleshoot programming and machining issues during setup, first article, and production.
- Optimize programs to improve cycle time, tool life, part quality, and overall machining efficiency.
- Partner with machinists, engineering, and quality/metrology teams to validate programs and processes.
- Support first-article inspection and make programming adjustments as needed.
- Maintain programming and process documentation in accordance with established quality requirements.
- Support existing production with program modifications and continuous process improvements.
What they are looking for
- Proven experience as a CNC Machinist/Programmer in a precision machining environment.
- Strong experience programming 5-axis CNC mills, multi-axis CNC turning centers, and/or Swiss lathes.
- Proficiency with CNC CAM software.
- Strong understanding of G-code and CNC machining fundamentals.
- Experience machining complex parts to tight tolerances.
- Ability to read and interpret complex engineering drawings and specifications.
- Strong knowledge of GD&T Understanding of tooling, workholding, cutting strategies, speeds, and feeds.
- Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving abilities.
- High attention to detail and commitment to producing quality parts.
- Experience within aerospace, defense, medical device, space, or another highly regulated precision manufacturing environment preferred.
- Familiarity with AS9100 and/or ISO 13485 quality standards is a plus What You'll Get: Opportunity to program challenging, high-precision CNC components rather than repetitive production work Modern CNC machining technology and advanced programming tools.
- Exposure to complex 5-axis and Swiss lathe machining applications.
