We partner with leading companies in Battle Creek seeking CNC Lathe Programmers.

The Opportunity

  • Strong understanding of CNC lathe operations, tooling, workholding, and material properties.
  • Experience with G-code and M-code programming, including advanced functions and subroutines.
  • Ability to perform toolpath simulation and verification to optimize processes and prevent collisions.

Bonus Qualifications

  • Experience with CAD/CAM software beyond basic G-code generation (e.g., SolidWorks, Mastercam for complex surfacing).
  • Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot and optimize existing CNC programs for cycle time reduction or improved part quality.
  • Familiarity with different control systems (e.g., Fanuc, Haas, Mazak) and their specific programming nuances.
  • Knowledge of tooling selection for various materials and part geometries, including advanced cutting tool technologies.
