Full Job Description

Role Summary

The CNC Machinist / Programmer is responsible for creating, managing, and optimizing CNC programs using Mastercam for mainly 3-axis milling with occasional 5-axis milling. This role requires an adequate programming background to analyze engineering data and develop tooling strategies that support the broader production team. The CNC Machinist / Programmer sets up and operates milling machines to machine aluminum and trim composite parts, interprets blueprints and engineering specifications, and monitors quality to ensure all work meets customer tolerances and company standards. Candidates with additional experience programming and operating a gantry-style CMM for dimensional inspection are not required but would be a plus. This role would also be responsible for creating setup documentation when requested by supervisor

Duties & Responsibilities

Create, modify, and store original CNC programs using Mastercam for 3-axis milling machines
Analyze drawings and design data to determine appropriate tooling, work holding, machine speeds, and feed rates
Verify and simulate CNC programs against CAD models to ensure accuracy prior to running
Troubleshoot and resolve program and process issues, coordinating with supervisor and other functional areas.
Plan, design, and produce work holding and job-specific fixtures as required
Assist operators and machinists with program processes and provide in-process production support when requested by supervisor
Ensure parts and tools are loaded correctly and quality is consistently maintained throughout each assignment
Change and adjust cutters as required to meet quality and tolerance requirements; ensure machinery and tools are properly maintained
Ensure accurate documentation is entered on Manufacturing Orders, including correct quantities and specification recording
Focus on continuous improvement through increased throughput and reduced changeover time
Stay current with new versions of Mastercam and related programming software
When required, program and operate the company's gantry CMM to perform dimensional inspections and generate inspection reports
Produce setup documentation, tooling documentation, and shop-aided drafting prints to support operators and machinists when requested by management
Perform other duties as assigned

Skills & Knowledge

Expert proficiency in Mastercam CAM software for 3-axis programming. Note: 5-axis a plus

Ability to analyze engineering drawings, blueprints, and design data to develop effective machining strategies
Proficiency with machine probing for in-process part measurement
Ability to apply mathematical functions related to machining, tooling design, and dimensional computation
Experience in both production and prototyping environments
Strong mechanical aptitude and meticulous attention to detail
Experience creating setup and tooling documentation to support shop floor operations
CMM programming and operation experience preferred but not required, ideally with gantry-style or large-format equipment
Familiarity with GD&T and its application to dimensional inspection is a plus
Proficient in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint)
Effective written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across functional teams

Minimum Qualifications

Associate degree in Machining Technology or equivalent relevant work experience (2–3 years)
3–5 years of Mastercam experience with 3-axis programming required
Excellent knowledge of G-code required
CMM programming and operation experience preferred but not required
Ability to lift and/or move up to 25 lbs. frequently
