    Highlights

    You’ll own your programming outcomes end-to-end—planning, tooling, programming, proving out, and continuous improvement—while collaborating closely with engineering and shop floor teams. You post G-code, run a machine simulation, verify the first article, and fine-tune offsets and code edits to squeeze out cycle time—then guide the part seamlessly into repeatable production.

    Description

    Shape Flight-Ready Hardware as an Aerospace Multi-Axis CNC CAM Programmer

    Picture your first week: you’re handed a complex aerospace print. You analyze the GD&T, map out a manufacturing plan, design custom fixturing, and translate strategy into clean toolpaths. You post G-code, run a machine simulation, verify the first article, and fine-tune offsets and code edits to squeeze out cycle time—then guide the part seamlessly into repeatable production.

    What You’ll Tackle

    • Program and operate multi-axis equipment, including 2-axis, 3-axis, and 5-axis mills, lathes, and mill/turn platforms.
    • Create and optimize CNC programs with Mastercam or similar CAM tools, from roughing through finishing.
    • Post and manually edit G-code to improve efficiency and accuracy.
    • Design and develop custom tooling and fixturing solutions suited to tight-tolerance aerospace work.
    • Author clear, usable setup documentation to enable consistent results across shifts.
    • Use machine simulations and maintain accurate machine/control definitions.
    • Partner with manufacturing engineers and production to transition parts from first article to full-rate production.
    • Apply deep knowledge of GD&T and tolerance stack-ups to protect form, fit, and function.

    How You’ll Work

    You’ll thrive in a fast-paced aerospace environment where precision matters. You’ll own your programming outcomes end-to-end—planning, tooling, programming, proving out, and continuous improvement—while collaborating closely with engineering and shop floor teams.

    What You Bring

    • 5+ years of CNC machining experience.
    • 2+ years of CNC programming experience.
    • Strong understanding of GD&T and tolerance stack-up.
    • Experience with high-precision, multi-axis machines.
    • Proven ability to optimize and manually edit G-code.
    • Excellent communication skills and ability to follow detailed work instructions.
    • U.S. Person status as defined by ITAR regulations.

    Preferred

    • Degree in engineering or a related technical field.
    • 5+ years of experience in aerospace or turbine engine component manufacturing.
