Job description

Multi-Axis CAM Programmer (Fusion 360/FeatureCAM)

Space Screw Inc is expanding. We manufacture precision components for multiple industries, including aerospace, and we’re seeking a CAM expert who thrives on translating complex prints into flawless parts.

A day in the life

You’ll kick off with blueprint reviews, applying GD&T to confirm critical features and inspection strategies. Next, you’ll build efficient toolpaths in Fusion 360, FeatureCAM, and Parts Maker, optimizing for high-speed machining. On the floor, you’ll set up and operate Haas multi-axis mills and lathes (including 5-axis and live-tooling mill-turns), prove out programs, and adjust feeds, speeds, and strategies in real time. You’ll shift smoothly between rapid R&D iterations and short-run production, own the process from raw stock to final inspection, and document improvements using Lean and 5S.

What you’ll do

• Program and directly support machining of precision parts to print across a variety of CNC platforms.
• Apply GD&T to interpret blueprints and to guide measurement approaches.
• Set up, operate, and change over assigned CNC machines (Haas mills/turns) to meet schedule and quality requirements.
• Use Lean Manufacturing principles and tools to drive continuous improvement and maintain 5S work areas.
• Troubleshoot machining issues; refine toolpaths and offsets during production.
• Perform in-process and final quality control using mechanical inspection tools.
• Help clean and maintain CNC equipment.
• Demonstrate reliable attendance and follow detailed safety and quality instructions.

What you’ll bring

• Proficiency with Fusion 360, FeatureCAM, and Parts Maker; 10 years’ experience preferred.
• Hands-on programming, set-up, and operation of Haas CNC multi-axis milling and multi-axis turning.
• Experience with 5-axis milling, live-tool lathes, mill-turns, and/or multi-task machines.
• Expertise in high-speed machining strategies and tooling selection.
• Ownership mindset over the entire manufacturing workflow, from first article to completion.
• Ability to pivot between R&D prototypes and short production runs.
• Skilled with mechanical inspection tools; strong troubleshooting capability.
• Knowledge of Lean Manufacturing and commitment to continuous learning on tools & techniques.
• Physical ability to lift at least 50 lbs. unassisted.
• Good eyesight, including depth perception, peripheral vision, and color differentiation.

Quality systems

• Operate within ISO9001/AS9100 practices (preferred) and adhere to all safety and quality requirements.

Legal and compensation

Wage negotiable depending on experience. As a condition of employment, you will be required to pass a drug screen and a background check.
