CNC Programmers

This role supports aerospace manufacturing operations by machining, fabricating, and inspecting precision parts using CNC equipment. You will work from engineering drawings and CAD data to produce components that meet strict quality and performance standards in a high-reliability production environment. Machine, fabricate, or assemble parts based on engineering drawings and operation sheets Set up and operate CNC machining centers (horizontal and vertical) to perform drilling, milling, boring, tapping, and related operations Interpret CAD data, blueprints, sketches, and written instructions to ensure accurate production Select, install, and adjust cutting tools and machine offsets for proper setup Inspect parts during and after machining using precision measurement tools to ensure compliance with specifications Perform secondary operations such as deburring and straightening during machine cycles Maintain coolant levels and support basic preventative maintenance on equipment Provide feedback to manufacturing engineers on tooling, processes, and fixturing improvements Track machining performance against production targets and communicate shift progress and job status Manufacturing production setting supporting aerospace components Second shift schedule (2:30 PM – 12:00 AM) on a 9x80 rotation (every other Friday off) Team-based environment with collaboration between machinists, manufacturing engineers, and quality teams Work may include overtime, weekends, or schedule adjustments based on production needs Hands-on work producing precision components for advanced aerospace systems Opportunity to work with CNC technology and complex machining processes Strong collaboration with engineering and manufacturing teams Ability to read and interpret blueprints, CAD data, and operation sheets Experience setting up and operating CNC machining centers (horizontal and/or vertical) Ability to use precision measurement tools (calipers, micrometers, gauges, and similar instruments) to verify part quality Ability to obtain and maintain a Secret clearance Ability to work second shift (2:30 PM – 12:00 AM) and a rotating 9x80 schedule, including occasional overtime or weekend support Experience with Mazatrol CNC systems Familiarity with Mastercam or Siemens NX programming tools Lockheed Martin Space
