Multi-Axis CNC Programmer-Setter

Torrey Holistics; Hamilton (OH); On-site; USD 39,000 - 55,000; Full time

Job summary

Mural Group is partnering with a precision CNC shop in Hamilton, OH to hire a seasoned CNC Programmer-Setter. You will own end-to-end setups on 5-axis and multi-axis machines, optimize tooling plans, and refine G-code for tight tolerances on aerospace-grade parts.

You’ll perform first-article inspection, document results, and support a lights-out cell with robot assistance. Strong GD&T, metrology, and hands-on problem-solving are required.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of CNC machining with proven setup and program-editing capability.
• Proficiency on multi-axis platforms: milling, turning, and/or mill-turn.
• Fluency reading complex prints and GD&T per ASME Y14.5.
• Hands-on metrology: CMM, surface plates, micrometers, bore gauges, thread gauges.
• Experience machining aluminum, steel, stainless, and specialty alloys such as titanium.

Responsibilities

• End-to-end setups on CNC mills, lathes, and mill-turn/multi-axis equipment—from print to first-part approval.
• Select tooling, workholding, and fixturing suited to geometry and material.
• On-control edits and optimization of G-code/conversational/CAM posts to hit tolerances and finish.
• First-article inspection using CMM and precision hand metrology with documentation.
• Production execution with in-process checks, offsets, and tooling adjustments to maintain capability.
• Interpret complex drawings, GD&T, and customer requirements; support automation and lights-out cells.
• Mentor operators and contribute to process improvements and cycle-time reduction.

Job description

Multi-Axis CNC Programmer-SetterLocation: Hamilton, Ohio | Employment: Full-Time | Compensation: $28–$40/hrMural Group is partnering with a precision CNC machine shop in Hamilton, OH to add an experienced expert who can own the entire machining workflow—from setup to production handoff.A day in this roleYou arrive to a stack of complex prints with tight GD&T callouts (ASME Y14.5). The first job is a titanium part destined for aerospace. You choose the right workholding, build a tooling plan, and bring a 5-axis milling center online. At the control, you refine the posted toolpaths—tweaking G-code and conversational steps to nail tolerances and surface finish. A first-article heads to the CMM; you verify with micrometers, bore/thread gauges, and surface measurement tools, then document results. With production underway, you monitor process capability, adjust offsets, and eliminate chatter or surface defects as they arise. Later, you stage a lights-out cell with robot assist for stainless components, mentor an operator on best practices, and update traveler records and tool inventory before closing the loop.What you’ll ownEnd-to-end setups on CNC mills, lathes, and mill-turn/multi-axis equipment—from print to first-part approvalSelection and qualification of tooling, workholding, and fixturing suited to geometry and materialOn-control program edits and optimization (G-code, conversational, or CAM post) to achieve tolerance and finishFirst-article inspection using CMM and precision hand metrology; thorough documentationProduction execution: in-process checks, offsets, and tooling adjustments to maintain capabilityInterpretation of complex engineering drawings, GD&T, and customer-specific requirementsSupport for automation and lights-out machining cells, including robot-assisted operationsTroubleshooting chatter, tool breakage, dimensional drift, and surface finish issuesMentoring CNC Operators and contributing to process improvement and cycle-time reductionAccurate recordkeeping across travelers, production logs, and tool inventoriesWhat you bring5+ years of CNC machining with proven setup and program-editing capabilityProficiency on multi-axis platforms: milling, turning, and/or combined mill-turnFluency reading complex prints and GD&T per ASME Y14.5Hands-on metrology: CMM, surface plates, micrometers, bore gauges, and thread gaugesDeep understanding of cutting tools, strategies, speeds/feeds, and workholding by materialExperience machining aluminum, steel, stainless, and at least one specialty alloy (e.g., titanium, Inconel)Ability to work independently and manage priorities across multiple concurrent jobsUncompromising commitment to first-time quality and zero-defect productionBonus pointsExperience on 5-axis milling centers (Mazak, DMG Mori, Haas, or similar)Mill-turn or Swiss-turn programming/operationBackground in aerospace (AS9100) or defense environmentsCAM programming (Mastercam, Fusion 360, Hypermill, etc.)CMM programming (Calypso, PC-DMIS, or equivalent)Hands-on with lights-out/robotic automation cellsCore proficienciesCNC ToolingCNC ProgrammingG-CodeCNC Machine Setup & ChangeoverAerospace ManufacturingEquipment you’ll runCNC Swiss LatheCNC Lathe (5+ axis)
