We need an expert in Siemens NX CAM with 5+ years of experience — ideally someone who has worked as an NX applications engineer at a reseller, machine tool builder, or large aerospace shop — who can lead our CAD-to-CAM team and build the programming standard from scratch for our automated 5-axis CNC cells. You should be comfortable programming complex aerospace and defense parts yourself (titanium, Inconel, aluminum) and have a track record of training programmers, defining processes, and building probing stacks for lights-out production. Bonus points if you've managed a machine shop or programming team and have hands‑on experience with post processors in NX Post Builder or Post Configurator.

Experience in in‑ process probing, macro programming, offset programming, and in‑ cycle inspection (Heidenhain, Siemens, or Fanuc controls)

Experience proving out programs on 5- axis machining centers

US citizen or lawful permanent resident (ITAR compliant)

We are a small team with momentum and resources. You'll work directly with the Automation Engineer on tooling/workholding/pallet strategy and with software engineers who automate CAM workflows. It's a deeply integrated environment.
