Job Description

CNC Manufacturing Programmer – Haas/SolidCAM Specialist

Location: Benton, TN
Schedule: Monday–Thursday, 6:30am–5:00pm (first or second shift) — enjoy a four-day workweek

Picture your day: you roll in at 6:30am, pull the print for a new component, and decide on the best strategy to machine it. You open SolidCAM to create toolpaths, head to a Haas mill or lathe to set tooling and work offsets, and run a careful prove-out. You inspect to GD&T, tweak code right at the control, and document everything so the next run is smooth—and no one needs to call you at home. That’s life in a job shop where parts change often and resourceful problem-solvers thrive.

• Own jobs from programming through setup, prove-out, and documentation.
• Create SolidCAM toolpaths; edit programs at the machine control as needed.
• Set tooling, workholding, work/tool offsets, and verify first-article quality.
• Read prints, interpret GD&T, and inspect your own work for conformance.
• Adapt quickly to changing part mix typical of a job shop environment.

• 3+ years working on CNC mills or lathes.
• Hands-on experience setting up your own work on Haas equipment.
• Ability to read blueprints, apply GD&T, and self-inspect parts.
• Confidence editing G-code/M-code at the control.

• SolidCAM experience is a major plus (training provided if needed).
• Experience with Mastercam, CAMWorks, SOLIDWORKS CAM, GibbsCAM, Esprit, or Fusion is welcome.

• Running both mills and lathes; live tooling; Y-axis; bar feeder; 3rd axis.
• Fixture design/setup; CMM inspection; manual machining background.

• $22–$45 per hour, based on experience.
• Health, dental, and vision coverage.
• 401(k) with company match.
• Paid vacation and holidays.
• Paid SolidCAM training if you need it.
