Key Responsibilities

CAD/CAM Programming & Toolpath Development

• Develop and optimize CNC programs using Esprit, Edgecam, and Catia (experience with Mastercam or SolidWorks a plus) to machine precision parts to technical drawings, specifications, and customer requirements.
• Import and translate 3D CAD models from CAD into CAM toolpaths in Esprit and Edgecam, selecting appropriate cutting strategies, feeds, speeds, and tooling for each operation.
• Design and program tooling, fixtures, and workholding solutions to support efficient, repeatable setups.
• Generate and verify post-processed G-code/M-code for CNC lathes, mills, and multi-axis (3-, 4-, and 5-axis) machining centers.
• Optimize tool paths and machining sequences to reduce cycle time, minimize tool wear, and eliminate scrap.

Machine Setup & Shop Floor Support

• Collaborate with machinists to set up CNC machines and validate first-article programs at the machine before full production runs.
• Troubleshoot ongoing program, tooling, and machine performance issues on the shop floor in real time.
• Read and interpret engineering drawings, 3D models annotation, GD&T callouts, technical documentation, and specifications to confirm part requirements and tolerances.
• Verify the accuracy and quality of machined parts through in-process measurement and inspection, coordinating with Quality on first article inspections (FAI/AS9102).

Engineering & Process Support

• Support engineering with tooling design, fixture design, and process documentation for new and existing programs.
• Partner with engineers, production, and quality teams to resolve design and/or manufacturability issues and meet production goals.
• Maintain accurate program revisions in coordination with Document Control so the shop floor only has access to current, approved program.
• Recommend and support continuous improvement initiatives that increase throughput and part quality.

Education & Experience

• Diploma or certification in CNC Programming, Machining, or a related field required.
• A bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or manufacturing engineering is a plus.
• 3+ years of CNC programming experience in a precision manufacturing environment required; aerospace or defense machining experience strongly preferred.
• Multi-axis mill/lathe programming experience required.
• Solid understanding of post processors and G-code/M-code required.
• Experience operating within an AS9100 or ISO 9001 certified quality system required.

Technical Skills & Core Competencies

• Proficient in Esprit, Edgecam, and Catia as primary CAD/CAM programming platforms; experience with Mastercam, SolidWorks, and NX is a plus.
• Strong understanding of machining processes, materials, tooling, and multi-axis mill/lathe operations.
• Working knowledge of GD&T, blueprint reading, and manufacturing documentation such as routers, work instructions, and BOMs.
• Ability to apply geometry and trigonometry to part programming and setup calculations.

Core Competencies

• Detail-oriented, with the ability to create and verify accurate, repeatable programs.
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills for resolving program, tooling, and machine issues.
• Clear verbal and written communication with machinists, engineers, and quality teams.
• Ability to manage multiple programs and priorities in a fast-paced production environment.

Work Environment & Physical Requirements

• Primarily a shop-floor and engineering office environment, moving frequently between the programming workstation and the production floor.
• Ability to move throughout the facility, including up and down stairs, and safely navigate a production floor environment, including wearing required PPE.
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs.
• Ability to visually read hard-copy and digital customer/engineering specifications and part prints.
