NC Programmer Shot Peening

Location: San Diego, CA Onsite/ Hybrid/ Remote: Onsite Duration: 6 12 months

Position Summary: The NC Programmer Shot Peening is responsible for developing and supporting NC programs for shot peening operations across both robot-guided and gantry-based systems. This role supports production throughput, program accuracy, and process consistency in a high-volume aerospace environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Create, modify, validate, and optimize NC programs for shot peening processes;
• Support setup, prove-out, and troubleshooting of both robotic and conventional shot peening equipment;
• Work with operations and engineering teams to resolve programming and process execution issues;
• Ensure program consistency, process adherence, and support for production quality requirements;
• Contribute to improved throughput and effective support of high-volume peening operations.

Required Qualifications:

• Experience in NC programming for shot peening or similar manufacturing / surface treatment processes;
• Strong understanding of programmed machine motion, process validation, and production support;
• Ability to support both simple gantry systems and more advanced robot-guided applications;
• Strong troubleshooting and collaboration skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Aerospace manufacturing experience;
• Familiarity with qualification support, special process control, and production-driven environments.

Work Arrangement / Engagement Notes: Remote programming support may be possible for portions of the role; however, on-site presence is required for testing, prove-out, and production validation activities.
