Hiring

Hiring a NC Programmer for a contract with a client located in Everett/Renton, Washington.

Title:

NC Programmer

Duration:

12 months (with the possibility of extension)

Job Description:

Join a high-performing fabrication team supporting aerospace structural production in Everett, WA. As a contractor Numerical Control Programmer (NCP) on our Machining/Tooling team, you’ll drive the NC programming, setup documentation, and machining strategy for complex multi-axis parts used on commercial airplanes. You will collaborate closely with planning, aerospace engineering, tooling, and shop‑floor operators to turn engineered concepts into producible, high-quality parts.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Create, verify, and revise Machine Control Data (MCD), tooling geometry, and setup documentation for multi-axis CNC machines (primarily 5-axis).
• Interpret engineering drawings, planning documentation, and manufacturing requirements to develop robust NC programs for aluminum and hard‑metal parts.
• Develop multiple setups and operations for complex part geometries, ensuring fixturing, tooling, and machine selection support producibility and tolerances.
• Use simulation/verification tools (e.g., Vericut) to validate programs and eliminate collisions or gouges prior to shop‑floor execution.
• Coordinate with planning, manufacturing engineering, tooling design, and machine operators to optimize cycle times, reduce scrap, and address manufacturability concerns.

Skills:

• NC programming experience for production machining or equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Demonstrated experience programming 5‑axis CNC machines for aerospace parts (aluminum and hard metals).
• Proficient in CATIA V5 NC programming.
• Proficient in NC simulation/verification tools such as Vericut.
