We are seeking a CNC Programmer to develop, optimize, and maintain CNC programs and process documentation for our aerospace/industrial machine shop. You’ll translate drawings and models into efficient toolpaths, set machining standards, support setups on the floor, and drive continuous improvement in cycle time, quality, and tool life.
Program Creation: Generate 3-, 4- and 5-axis CNC programs (Mill/Lathe) using Mastercam (or similar CAD/CAM).
Process Planning: Define operations, workholding, tooling, and inspection steps; create setup sheets, tool lists, and in-process inspection plans.
Optimization: Reduce cycle times, improve surface finish, and increase tool life through feeds/speeds and path strategy improvements.
Prove-Out & Support: Assist machinists during first-article and changeovers; troubleshoot alarms, gouges, chatter, and dimensional issues.
Quality & Compliance: Interpret GD&T and ensure parts meet drawing, spec, and AS9100/ISO requirements; support FAI (AS9102).
Materials & Methods: Program for aluminum, stainless, titanium, Inconel, and other nickel alloys; select appropriate cutters, holders, and coolant strategies.
Machine Interfaces: Post and edit G/M-code for HAAS, Mazak, Fanuc-based controls (others a plus); maintain, customize, and validate post-processors.
Documentation: Maintain revision-controlled programs, setup docs, and DNC folders; collaborate with QA on NCRs/CPARs and corrective actions.
Cross-Functional: Partner with Engineering, Repairs (Part 145), and Logistics to meet delivery commitments; support make/buy decisions.
Continuous Improvement: Lead small CI projects (tool libraries, standard workholding, probe cycles/macros, cutter comp strategies).
3+ years CNC programming in a job shop or aerospace environment.
Proficiency with Mastercam (or NX, GibbsCAM, Fusion 360) and solid modeling (SolidWorks/Inventor).
Strong GD&T interpretation; ability to create reliable datum strategies and inspection steps.
Hands-on knowledge of speeds/feeds, tool selection, coolant strategies, and workholding for hard metals.
Experience posting to HAAS / Fanuc (Mazak/Okuma a plus); ability to read/edit G-code safely.
Ability to read/interpret engineering drawings, specs, and process sheets.
Solid shop-floor communication skills; comfortable at the machine during prove-outs.
Experience with probing/macros (Renishaw), cutter comp, and high-speed machining strategies.
Exposure to CMM/inspection workflows and SPC basics.
Understanding of ITAR/EAR export controls (training provided).
Bilingual English/Spanish.
Technical depth & problem-solving on the floor
Attention to detail and documentation discipline
Collaboration with machinists, QA, and engineers
Time management in a high-mix, fast-turn environment
Work in a shop environment with standing, walking, lifting up to 30–40 lbs occasionally.
Use of PPE; compliance with shop safety rules and OSHA/AS9100 procedures.
Full-time; 1st shift (flexibility for occasional off-shift support during prove-outs).
Compensation DOE; benefits per company policy (medical/dental/vision, PTO, holidays, 401(k), etc.).
Follow all MD Turbines/Dynamics E&D safety policies and procedures.
First-pass yield / FAI acceptance rate
Cycle-time reduction and on-time delivery
Scrap/rework reduction and tool-life improvement
Document accuracy (program, setup sheet, tool list) and revision control
