Job Description

Who This Role Is For


This is not an entry-level or learn-to-program position.


We are seeking an experienced CNC Mill Programmer who can walk in and begin programming parts immediately using professional CAM software. While our shop programs in GibbsCAM, candidates with strong experience in other high-level CAM platforms such as Mastercam, Fusion 360, SolidCAM, or similar are encouraged to apply.


Training will be provided on our internal processes and workflow. Candidates without GibbsCAM experience must be able to demonstrate strong programming fundamentals and the ability to adapt quickly.


All programs are created offline in GibbsCAM. Minor edits at the machine (feeds, speeds, safe moves) are acceptable.


If your primary programming experience is control-side, conversational, or machine-only, this role is not a fit.


What You Will Do

Program new parts daily using GibbsCAM

Develop complete machining strategies for low-volume, tight-tolerance aerospace parts

Program 3-axis, 3+2, and 5-axis CNC mills

Read and interpret complex aerospace drawings, including GD&T and datum schemes

Post, verify, and release programs through ProShop ERP

Support setups and machining as needed

Perform minor, controlled edits at the machine only when required

Inspect critical features to confirm conformance prior to release

Work independently with minimal supervision

Non-Negotiable Requirements


Applicants must meet all of the following:


3–5+ years CNC mill programming experience

Professional hands-on experience with offline CAM software (GibbsCAM preferred)

Ability to program parts from print to production-ready code

Strong understanding of tooling, workholding, and machining strategy

Experience with multi-axis machining (3-axis, 3+2, or 5-axis)

Experience programming tight-tolerance machined components

Ability to read and apply GD&T


Not a fit:

❌ Control-side programmers

❌ Conversational-only programming

❌ Router / cabinet shop backgrounds

❌ Entry-level “willing to learn CAM” applicants


Preferred Experience

GibbsCAM

SolidWorks

CAMplete

AS9100 aerospace environment

ProShop ERP

Schedule & Environment

1st shift only: Monday–Friday, 5:00 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.

Occasional Saturday half-days

Clean, air-conditioned shop

Overtime as required

Application Instructions


To be considered, resumes must clearly show:


Years of CNC programming experience

CAM software used (GibbsCAM, Mastercam, etc.)

Types of CNC mills programmed (3-axis / 5-axis)

Industries worked in (aerospace strongly preferred)


Candidates without strong offline CAM programming experience will not be contacted.
