TL;DR · Senior CNC Programmer

As a Senior CNC Programmer within the Development Manufacturing organization, you will join the CNC team to deliver rapid-turn prototype manufacturing for mission-critical defense programs. You will take full ownership of complex machining projects by interpreting technical blueprints and CAD models to plan processes, programming, setting up, and operating multi-axis machines including 5-axis equipment. Your daily work involves designing custom work-holding solutions, troubleshooting issues in real time, and performing quality inspections on low-volume, high-stakes prototype parts. You will utilize CAM software such as Esprit or hyperMill, understand G-code and M-code, and operate Fanuc, Siemens, or Brother controls while working with alloys, metals, and plastics. The role requires expertise in 3D machining techniques and GD&T to solve manufacturing challenges for next-generation defense systems in a fast-paced R&D environment.

What you'll do

  • Interpret technical blueprints, CAD models, and engineering drawings to plan machining processes.
  • Program, set up, and operate multi-axis CNC milling and turning machines including 5-axis equipment.
  • Design and implement custom work-holding solutions and fixtures for unique project requirements.
  • Troubleshoot machining issues in real time and adjust processes to ensure part quality.
  • Conduct in-process and final quality inspections to verify parts meet stringent specifications.
  • Manage the full manufacturing lifecycle from initial blueprint to finished prototype part.

What we're looking for

  • U.S. Person status is required for access to export-controlled data.
  • 5+ years of experience programming CNC machines using CAM software.
  • 5+ years of experience in CNC machine setup and operation.
  • Expertise in multi-axis, 3D machining techniques, and G-code/M-code programming.
  • Proficiency with Fanuc, Siemens, or Brother CNC controls.
  • Deep knowledge of machining various materials including alloys, metals, and plastics.
  • Proven experience designing and implementing tooling and fixturing solutions.
  • Strong working knowledge of GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing).
  • Experience with Esprit or hyperMill CAM software (preferred).
  • Proficiency in 5-axis simultaneous programming (preferred).
  • Experience using Siemens NX CAD software and Teamcenter PLM (preferred).
