CNC Programmer, Aerospace Precision Machining (Mastercam, 5-Axis Mill-Turn + Live Tooling), 4-Day Work Week

CNC Programmer wanted at an established aerospace precision manufacturer. $45 to $65 per hour DOE, on a 4-day work week with a 3-day weekend every single week.

This is a shop with decades in the industry, a skills-first culture, and a growing programming department where a strong programmer builds a long career.

ABOUT THE SHOP

An established aerospace precision manufacturer producing flight-critical components for major commercial and defense programs. Proprietary product, tight tolerances, and the kind of complex work other shops turn down. Close-knit and family-oriented, with people who have built careers here over decades.

Who thrives here

• Programmers who came up through the trades and still like being close to the floor
• People who own a job from blueprint to first good part and stay engaged through the run
• Anyone who would rather be judged on what they can do than on years on a resume
• Not a fit if you want to program in a vacuum and hand off; this shop wants you involved

THE ROLE

• First shift, Monday through Thursday, 5:00 AM PT to 3:30 PM PT (4x10)
• Program HAAS mills and turning centers, Brother Speedio 5-axis mill-turn, and Tsugami Swiss machines
• Program in Mastercam
• Aerospace alloys: titanium, Inconel, stainless steel, and aluminum
• Work orders run 100 to 5,000 pieces

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Build toolpaths in Mastercam for complex aerospace geometries (3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis)
• Program lathes with live tooling (C-axis and Y-axis) and multi-axis mills, including 3+2 positioning
• Review engineering blueprints and CAD models to choose the best machining strategy
• Calculate feeds, speeds, and tooling for aerospace materials
• Run simulations, verify programs, and coordinate setups with the machinists
• Troubleshoot programs to cut cycle time, and stay involved through the production run

REQUIREMENTS

Required:

• Mastercam programming experience
• HAAS mill and lathe programming
• 5-axis and 3+2 positioning experience
• Lathe programming with live tooling (C-axis and Y-axis); this is non-negotiable
• Willing to stay engaged through the full production run, not just hand off

Bonus Points:

• Brother Speedio 5-axis mill-turn or Tsugami Swiss experience
• Aerospace materials (titanium, Inconel) and tight-tolerance work
• SolidWorks, probing, or macro programming
• AS9100 or International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) environment exposure

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

Pay: $45 to $65 per hour, depending on experience and Mastercam proficiency

Schedule: First shift, Monday through Thursday, 5:00 AM PT to 3:30 PM PT (4x10, three-day weekends every week, overtime available)
