Axiom Engineering | Wichita, Kansas | Onsite

About the Opportunity

Axiom Engineering is a precision aerospace manufacturer with a reputation for solving challenging machining problems and responding when customers need solutions.

We're investing in advanced machining technology, automation, and palletized manufacturing systems to expand what we can accomplish and how quickly we can deliver.

But technology alone doesn't create that capability. The people who know how to put it to work do.

We're looking for an experienced CATIA CNC Programmer who wants to be part of building that next level of manufacturing capability. Someone who enjoys challenging work, moves confidently between projects, and sees opportunities where others see obstacles.

This isn't a position focused on maintaining the status quo. We're looking for someone who wants to help us push beyond it.

What You'll Be Doing

• Develop CNC programs using CATIA for complex precision aerospace components.
• Program 3-, 4-, and 5-axis machining centers, developing effective machining strategies for a wide range of manufacturing challenges.
• Bring new components and programs into production, from initial programming through successful prove-out.
• Explore new approaches to machining, workholding, and tooling that expand our manufacturing capabilities.
• Take advantage of new equipment, automation, and palletized manufacturing systems to improve how we produce parts.
• Work directly with setup technicians and machinists to solve problems and move programs into production.
• Improve existing processes where opportunities exist to increase capacity, efficiency, and reliability.
• Manage multiple programming priorities in an environment where responsiveness and execution matter.

What We're Looking For

• Strong, hands-on CATIA CNC programming experience.
• Aerospace manufacturing experience is required.
• Experience with complex, close-tolerance components and multi-axis machining.
• A solid understanding of machining strategies, tooling, workholding, and practical manufacturing processes.
• The ability to independently turn engineering models and drawings into effective, production-ready CNC programs.
• Mastercam experience is highly desirable for supporting legacy programs when needed.
• VERICUT experience is highly desirable for CNC program verification and simulation.
• Someone who thinks beyond simply generating toolpaths and considers the entire manufacturing process.
• A problem solver who is comfortable with changing priorities, challenging assignments, and a fast-moving production environment.
• Someone who takes ownership, communicates well, and enjoys seeing their work make a difference.

Why Axiom?

We're a company that believes speed, capability, and the willingness to take on difficult work create opportunities.

Our customers depend on us to deliver precision components, but they also count on us to respond when their manufacturing challenges become urgent.

We're building the people, technology, and processes that will allow us to do more of that work, reach new customers, and take on increasingly demanding opportunities.

As part of our programming team, you'll have a direct influence on what we can manufacture, how quickly we can respond, and the opportunities we're able to pursue.

If you're the kind of programmer who wants more than a queue of assignments—someone who wants to help shape what a manufacturing company can become,we'd like to talk.
