CNC Programmer

CNC Programmer

Position Overview
We are seeking a detail-oriented CNC Programmer to develop, optimize, and maintain CNC programs for turning and milling operations in a high-precision, tight-tolerance manufacturing environment. The role focuses on converting engineering drawings into efficient G-code using CAM systems (MasterCAM, Fusion 360, etc.), supporting multi-axis machining, and collaborating with engineering and shop personnel to ensure parts meet dimensional, surface finish, and quality requirements while maximizing productivity.

Key Responsibilities

• Create and optimize CNC programs for turning and milling operations using CAM software (MasterCAM, Fusion 360, and other CAM tools).
• Generate and edit G-code for 2-, 3-, and multi-axis machine centers and lathes, ensuring safe, efficient toolpaths and correct machine parameters.
• Interpret engineering drawings and GD&T to produce programs that meet tight-tolerance and high-precision requirements.
• Simulate and verify toolpaths in CAM and offline simulators to prevent collisions and reduce trial cycles on the machine.
• Collaborate with machinists, setup personnel, and engineers to validate programs during first articles and through process validation.
• Select cutting tools, holders, feeds, and speeds optimized for material, machine capability, and finish requirements; recommend fixturing and workholding as needed.
• Troubleshoot programming and machining issues, implement corrective actions, and update programs and documentation accordingly.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives to reduce cycle time, extend tool life, and improve part quality and repeatability.
• Maintain program library, tooling and fixture documentation, and maintain revision control for part programs.
• Provide clear setup sheets and operator instructions for efficient and accurate machine setup and run-offs.

Qualifications

• Associate degree or technical certificate in CNC machining, manufacturing technology, or equivalent hands-on experience.
• 3+ years of CNC programming experience for both turning and milling in a production environment; experience with multi-axis (3/4/5-axis) programming preferred.
• Proven proficiency with CAM systems, specifically MasterCAM and/or Fusion 360; ability to create and optimize toolpaths and post-processors.
• Strong knowledge of G-code creation and editing, machine cycles, and controller basics.
• Solid understanding of GD&T, blueprint reading, and geometric tolerancing for high-precision manufacturing.
• Experience working in tight-tolerance environments and producing parts to strict dimensional and surface-finish requirements.
• Familiarity with inspection tools and processes (CMM, micrometers, calipers) and first-article inspection procedures.
• Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate effectively with shop floor personnel and engineering teams.
• Willingness to participate in shop-floor troubleshooting and occasional support for setup and machining as needed.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid time off
• Paid holidays
