Job Description

Overview

We’re hiring an NC Programmer to engineer complete manufacturing processes for the aerospace and defense programs we support. This site is unique—we focus heavily on high-precision CNC gantry work, utilizing 3, 4, 5, and 6-axis machines with multi-heads to produce large-scale, complex pieces. You won't just be writing code; you’ll be designing the manufacturing process from the ground up, including fixture design, CAM programming, and process optimization.

Because these parts go into mission-critical systems tied to national security, the standards are incredibly high. We need a high-end programmer who is highly proficient with SolidWorks, Mastercam, CATIA, and Vericut to support our prime contracts. If you want a role where your programming directly translates to aerospace innovation—and where you can build a long-term career tackling massive, tight-tolerance parts—let's talk.

Compensation

  • Base Pay: $50 – $60 / hour
  • Overtime: 5-15 hours / week is typical

Shift

  • 1st: 5:00am - 1:00pm

Benefits

  • Medical, dental, vision
  • 401(k) with match
  • PTO

Requirements

Responsibilities:

  • Engineer complete manufacturing processes for mechanical parts, light assemblies, and large-scale gantry CNCs.
  • Develop, write, and optimize programs for 3, 4, 5, and 6-axis CNC machines.
  • Utilize Vericut software to simulate, verify, and optimize toolpaths (a strict requirement for our Boeing and prime aerospace contracts).
  • Create designs and CAD drawings for fixtures, workstations, and related manufacturing devices.
  • Review engineering documents (drawings, CAD models, specs) for manufacturability and assess the impact of engineering changes on fixtures and processes.
  • Support manufacturing process quoting and provide technical assistance/buy-off for internal teams and design companies.
  • Apply industrial engineering problem-solving techniques to improve productivity, efficiency, and continuous process optimization.
  • Research, document, and troubleshoot dimensional, tooling, and process issues on the floor to maintain quality and throughput.

Qualifications:

Technical

  • 5 to 6 years of relevant NC/CNC programming experience in a precision aerospace environment.
  • Experience using Vericut software for program simulation and transition.
  • High proficiency in CAM software (Mastercam and CATIA required).
  • High proficiency in CAD software (SolidWorks required).
  • Strong background programming for multi-axis CNC machines (experience with large Cincinnati gantry machines is a massive differentiator).
  • Previous experience working with Boeing or other major aerospace primes is highly preferred.
  • Confidence interpreting complex engineering drawings, CAD models, and customer specifications.
  • Mastery of basic math, strong computer skills, and an excellent attention to detail.
  • High school diploma or equivalent, plus specialized training in programming/machining.
  • Ability to handle the physical requirements of the role, including extended screen time and potentially long hours.
