CNC Programming Engineer

About the Role

GE Vernova builds the technology that powers the world — and our Bangor, Maine manufacturing team turns designs into precision parts that fuel systems people depend on every day. We're looking for a CNC programmer who can translate engineering specs into reliable, repeatable production processes. You'll write and optimize CNC programs, troubleshoot on the shop floor, and help introduce new products from concept to full production — working side-by-side with a team that takes pride in getting it right.

What You'll Do

• Write, test, and optimize CNC programs for new and existing production parts

• Define and control production processes, including tooling and equipment selection

• Validate design specifications against shop floor capability for new products, tools, or equipment

• Support New Product Introduction (NPI) by developing manufacturing methods that meet safety, quality, delivery, and cost (SQDC) goals

• Troubleshoot CNC processes and resolve production issues using hands-on problem-solving

• Participate in monthly Lean Kaizen events to drive continuous improvement across the production line

• Partner with engineering and operations teams to ensure your work supports broader site goals

Who You Are

You're a hands-on CNC programmer who's comfortable owning a process from first part to full production, and you enjoy solving problems on the floor as much as at a workstation.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in engineering from an accredited university, or a high school diploma/GED with 4+ years of manufacturing or operations experience

• Minimum of 1 year of hands-on CNC Programming experience

• Must be authorized to work in the United States without current or future sponsorship

• Must be able to work 100% onsite in Bangor, Maine

Preferred:

• Strong oral and written communication skills, with high attention to detail

• Experience with Lean manufacturing principles

• Experience with NC Programming/CAM software

• Basic project management skills

A formal education and Bachelor's or Master's degree in engineering is nice to have, but we're most interested in your total experience and professional achievements — your CNC programming background is what matters most here.
