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.

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.
