POSITION SUMMARY
We are working with a Houston-area manufacturing company, and seeking a high-level CNC Programmer to develop and optimize multi-axis machining programs for complex, tight-tolerance components. The ideal candidate translates 3D models and drawings into efficient, reliable tool paths, proves out programs on the floor, and continuously drives down cycle times.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Develop, post-process, and optimize CNC programs and tool paths using either [Mastercam / Esprit / NX CAM / GibbsCAM ].
• Interpret 3D models, engineering drawings, and GD&T to plan machining strategies, fixturing, and tooling.
• Program multi-axis (3–5 axis) mills and/or lathes and prove out programs at the machine with machinists.
• Create setup sheets, tool lists, and process documentation.
• Reduce cycle times and improve efficiency through program and process optimization.
• Support first-article inspection and troubleshoot machining and quality issues.
• Collaborate with engineering, quality, and the shop floor to improve manufacturability.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 8+ years of CNC programming experience in a precision machining environment.
• Proficiency with CAM software ([Mastercam / Esprit / NX]) and multi-axis programming.
• Strong CAD model, blueprint, and GD&T interpretation.
• Solid understanding of tooling, materials, speeds and feeds, and machining strategies.
• Hands-on machining background sufficient to prove out and edit programs at the control.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 5-axis programming experience and experience with exotic materials (titanium, Inconel, stainless).
• Experience in an AS9100 / aerospace environment.
• Familiarity with ERP/MRP systems and lean manufacturing principles.
