Numerical Control Programmer 4

Job Description

Develops, verifies, and optimizes NC programs and machining strategies for complex multi-axis aerospace components used in commercial aircraft production. This role interprets engineering drawings and manufacturing requirements to create robust programs, produce setup documentation, and validate machining processes using simulation tools prior to shop-floor execution. The programmer collaborates with planning, engineering, tooling, and machine operators to improve manufacturability, reduce cycle times, and ensure quality standards are maintained.
