CNC Programmer

Develop CNC programs and machining processes for HyperCellX equipment parts. Take drawings and models through CAD/CAM, fixture design, machine setup and first-part inspection, then hand off repeatable processes to production machinists. Run complete batches when the job requires it.

Responsibilities

• Create models, manufacturing drawings, fixtures and tooling using SolidWorks, Fusion 360 and AutoCAD.
• Program Haas CNC equipment for milling and turning, including 5-axis machining.
• Select tooling, feeds and speeds, operation sequences and inspection methods; design and build suitable workholding.
• Check posted code, simulate toolpaths and prove out programs at the machine.
• Make and inspect first parts, document results and correct process issues before production.
• Provide proven programs, setup sheets, tool lists and instructions for production machinists.
• Run batches when needed and improve repeat-production quality, cycle time and tool life.
• Work with engineering and fabrication to resolve drawing questions and improve manufacturability.

Required qualifications

• Demonstrated ability to take a drawing or model through programming, setup, prove-out and production of parts to specification.
• Hands-on experience with Haas equipment, 5-axis milling and CNC lathes.
• Strong CAD/CAM and drafting skills using SolidWorks, Fusion 360 and AutoCAD.
• Practical fixture and workholding design experience, with sound knowledge of milling, turning, tooling and offsets.
• Sound knowledge of tolerances, surface finish and dimensional inspection, and the ability to document and hand off a repeatable production process.

Preferred experience

• Ability to read and edit CNC code by hand when needed and learn machine-specific programming methods.
• Laser-process experience: DXF-driven cutting, simple geometry and path setup for laser welding, and code-driven laser cutting.
• Prototype and small-batch manufacturing.

Compensation

Base pay: $30–$45 per hour, plus applicable overtime. Placement within the range is based on relevant skills and experience.

Benefits include medical and dental coverage, HSA availability, a 401(k) with employer match, paid time off and paid holidays.
