CNC Programmer / Manufacturing EngineerThis is not a traditional programming role. We're looking for someone who can take ownership of the entire manufacturing process-from customer model and drawing review through process development, first article approval, and production release.
If you're currently programming complex aerospace, defense, medical device, or high-precision components and want to work with cutting-edge equipment, advanced automation, and a growing engineering-focused organization, we'd like to speak with you.
You'll have the opportunity to work with:- Siemens NX CAM
- Hermle 5-Axis Machining Centers
- Heller Horizontal Machining Centers
- Zayer Large-Format Machining Platforms
- DN Solutions Machining Centers
- Siemens Sinumerik & Heidenhain Controls
- Wenzel CMM Systems
- Keyence Inspection Technology
- Lang & FCS Modular Workholding
- Haimer Tool Presetting Systems
What You'll Do:
- Develop CNC programs using Siemens NX CAM for complex 3-axis, 4-axis, 5-axis, simultaneous 5-axis, and mill-turn applications
- Own manufacturing process development from model review through production release
- Lead New Product Introduction (NPI) activities including manufacturing planning, tooling strategy, workholding concepts, setup development, and first article execution
- Translate engineering drawings, GD&T, specifications, and customer requirements into repeatable manufacturing processes
- Create setup sheets, tooling documentation, work instructions, and process documentation
- Support fixture and workholding development using modular and custom fixturing solutions
- Partner closely with machinists during prove-outs, first articles, troubleshooting, and production launches
- Support continuous improvement initiatives focused on cycle time reduction, setup reduction, tool life optimization, and process stability
- Work closely with Quality, Engineering, Operations, Customers, and Suppliers to ensure successful execution of complex programs
- Mentor machinists and junior programmers on machining strategy and process discipline
Requirements- 10+ years of CNC programming experience in a precision manufacturing environment
- Proven experience programming complex 5-axis and/or mill-turn machining centers
- Expert understanding of GD&T, engineering drawings, and manufacturing process development
- Ability to take a part from model and print review through first article and production release
- Siemens NX CAM experience
- Aerospace, defense, medical device, or other high-precision manufacturing experience
- Experience with AS9100 environments, first articles, and NPI programs
- Familiarity with Siemens, Heidenhain, Fanuc, Mazak, or Okuma controls
- Experience machining titanium, stainless steel, nickel alloys, or other difficult materials
- Exposure to automation, probing, on-machine inspection, or lights-out manufacturing
- Experience mentoring machinists or junior programmers
Benefits- Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
- Company-paid life insurance.
- 401(k) retirement plan with company match.
- Paid time off and paid holidays.
- Professional development, technical training, and advancement within a growing organization
