Qualifications

• Minimum 4 years of experience with ASME codes and standards.
• Minimum 4 years of CNC programming experience using graphical CAM software (Siemens NX CAM preferred).
• Offline CAM programming experience with 4- and 5-axis continuous milling and large VTLs.
• Experience machining high-temperature alloys such as Inconel, Rene, Hastelloy, or Waspaloy.
• Familiarity with modern machine controls such as Siemens Sinumerik, Fanuc, Okuma, or Haas.
• At least 2 years of advanced machine-control programming, including subroutines, macro variables, Boolean logic, and closed-loop machining.

Responsibilities

• Develop and support machining processes for large VTLs and VBMs up to 2.5 meters and 5-axis machines.
• Generate and maintain CNC programs using Siemens NX CAM for multi-axis milling and turning.
• Verify new CNC programs with VERICUT before shop-floor release.
• Incorporate on-machine probing using Renishaw cycles for validation.
• Develop programs following established standards and parameters.
• Support engineering and train operators during new or rebuilt startups.
• Provide daily CNC programming and troubleshooting on the shop floor.
• Support tooling and fixturing requirements for CNC equipment.
• Create CNC workstation instructions and machining methods.
• Lead improvements in safety, quality, cost, and delivery.

Job description

Due to nuclear site access/or export-controlled project requirements, this role requires Candidates must also be willing to work on W2.

We're Hiring: CNC Programmer - 2nd Shift

Work Model:Onsite

Schedule: 40 hours per week;

Pay Rate: $56/hr

We are seeking an experienced CNC Programmer to support programming, machining process development, and shop-floor operations. This role focuses on large vertical turning lathes (VTLs), vertical boring mills (VBMs), and 5-axis milling, including 3+2 and simultaneous 5-axis machining.

This is a second-shift position.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and support machining processes for large VTLs and VBMs up to 2.5 meters, head-head gantry 5-axis machines, and vertical multipurpose turning/grinding equipment.
• Generate and maintain CNC programs using Siemens NX CAM or other graphical CAM software for multi-axis milling, turning, grinding, and/or EDM.
• Verify new CNC programs using VERICUT before releasing them to the shop floor.
• Incorporate on-machine probing using Renishaw cycles for part and process validation, including error trapping.
• Develop programs following established standards and qualified machining parameters.
• Support manufacturing engineers and train operators during new or rebuilt machine startups and process improvements.
• Provide daily shop-floor CNC programming and troubleshooting support.
• Support and implement tooling and fixturing requirements for CNC equipment.
• Create and maintain CNC-related workstation instructions and machining methods.
• Initiate and lead improvements in safety, quality, cost, and delivery.
• Communicate effectively and collaborate across teams in a fast-paced, matrixed organization.
• Manage multiple projects while supporting continuous improvement.

Required Qualifications and Technical Skills

• Minimum 4 years of experience with ASME codes and standards or equivalent.
• Minimum 4 years of CNC programming experience using graphical CAM software. Siemens NX CAM experience is strongly preferred and will receive priority.
• Demonstrated offline CAM programming experience with 4- and 5-axis continuous milling, large VTLs, or multi-axis grinding systems.
• Experience machining high-temperature alloys such as Inconel, Rene, Hastelloy, and Waspaloy, or heavy structural parts.
• Familiarity with modern machine controls such as Siemens Sinumerik, Fanuc, Okuma, or Haas.
• Experience with on-machine probing, including Renishaw macros.
• At least 2 years of advanced machine-control programming experience, including subroutines, macro variables, Boolean logic, and closed-loop machining.
• Significant hands-on machinist experience, including independently setting up and proving out complex first-piece programs.
• Experience maintaining tight tolerances on large-format equipment, with an understanding of part deflection, work hardening, and thermal stability.
• Proficiency in interpreting engineering drawings.
• Strong problem-solving, organizational, geometry, and trigonometry skills.
• Ability to prioritize and manage multiple projects concurrently.
• A commitment to safe setups, stable processes, quality, and craftsmanship.
