A day in the life

You start by loading a proven program to a horizontal machining center, then refine macro variables to dial in an aerospace tolerance. Before lunch, you jump to a 5‑axis lathe to optimize a subprogram, then coach a machinist on uploading/downloading programs from storage. The afternoon is spent updating the program library revision status for a NADCAP audit, and wrapping a quick Kaizen (SMDE, VSM, 5s) huddle to remove waste in a setup routine. Throughout, you champion Safety, Quality, Delivery, and Cost while meeting AS9100 and NADCAP expectations.

Core responsibilities

• Create, edit, and validate CNC programs to machine complex aerospace parts to tight tolerances across multiple axes and machining platforms.
• Program and optimize Horizontal Machining Centers, leveraging macros, sub‑programs, and variable‑based logic.
• Develop for 4‑axis lathes, 5‑axis lathes, Y‑axis lathes, and both large and small Vertical Machining Centers.
• Troubleshoot on the shop floor and solve real‑time manufacturing issues.
• Participate in continuous improvement (Kaizen) including SMDE, VSM, and 5s.
• Maintain program libraries and revision status in alignment with NADCAP requirements.
• Manage program storage systems; assist associates with uploading and downloading programs.

What you bring

• Bachelor’s degree in a technical field (desired) or 5+ years in manufacturing/industrial technical roles with CNC programming required.
• At least 5 years in a fast‑paced manufacturing environment.
• Ability to extract and analyze critical data to drive decisions.
• Six Sigma Green Belt or Black Belt is a plus.
• Strong computer proficiency: CAD/CAM, Esprit, Solid Works, MasterCam, and general productivity tools (word processing, graphics, spreadsheets, etc.).
• Fluency in G/M code editing, macro‑style programming, multi‑axis functions, and Fanuc/Okuma/Mitsubishi CELOS controllers.
• Demonstrated time and project management skills; self‑starter with minimal supervision.
• Team‑oriented with influence skills across functions and levels.
