Full Job Description

Modus Advanced, Inc.Location: Livermore, CASalary: $100,000 - $150,000 depending on experience

Schedule: M-F

Position Overview

Join the Modus Advanced team as a CNC Machinist & Programmer and own the complete journey from customer model to production-ready process. This is not an office-only programming role—you'll work on the shop floor, proving out your programs and ensuring they run successfully before handing them off to operators.

At Modus Advanced, one day matters. The precision components you'll program and produce often go into applications where reliability isn't just about performance—it's about protecting and saving lives. Your technical expertise and end-to-end ownership will directly enable our ability to deliver excellence to our customers.

What Success Looks Like

Take a customer model and drawing → Produce a passing part with a repeatable process → Hand it off to an operator who can run it successfully.

That's the success metric for this role. You take complete ownership from the moment a job comes in until an operator can produce quality parts without you standing over their shoulder.

Important: We have no use for a programmer who can only program. This is a floor position—you'll be on the machines, proving out your work, not just sitting at a desk sending programs down to the shop.

The Complete Workflow You'll Own

Import model into Esprit
Model stock in SolidWorks
Set up digital twin with standardized fixturing and tools
Program toolpaths
Prove out program on the machine
Design and cut custom soft jaws if needed
Create setup sheets and in-process inspection documentation
Hand off to production

Key Responsibilities
CNC Programming

Write, develop, and edit complex CNC programs using Esprit CAM software
Import customer models and set up digital twins with standardized fixturing and tools
Program efficient toolpaths optimized for quality, cycle time, and tool life
Model stock in SolidWorks for simulation and verification
Utilize standardized tool lists and fixturing libraries for consistency
Design and cut custom soft jaws and work holding solutions as needed

Program Prove-Out and Validation

Prove out all programs on the shop floor—not from an office
Set up machines, run first articles, and validate conformance
Optimize programs based on real-world performance
Work closely with QC team to validate critical dimensions
Iterate until the process produces passing parts consistently

Documentation and Handoff

Create comprehensive setup sheets for production use
Develop in-process inspection drawings and routines
Document processes so operators can run jobs successfully
Ensure all necessary information is captured for repeatable production

Technical Leadership

Work with production management on scheduling and capacity planning
Recommend drawing changes when designs could be more manufacturable
Support continuous improvement of programming methodologies
Mentor machinists who are developing programming skills

Required QualificationsEducation and Experience

5+ years of CNC programming experience with CAM software
5+ years of hands-on CNC machining experience
Experience with aerospace, defense, or medical device manufacturing strongly preferred
Experience with Esprit CAM software preferred; other CAM experience considered
Experience with SolidWorks or similar CAD software
U.S. Citizenship required (defense and aerospace project requirements)

Technical Skills

Expert proficiency in CAM programming and toolpath optimization
Strong CAD skills for stock modeling and fixture design
Deep understanding of machining processes, tooling, and work holding
Experience with VMC, HMC, and 5-axis CNC machines
Expert proficiency in reading and interpreting engineering drawings with GD&T
Ability to design and manufacture custom soft jaws and fixtures
Understanding of quality systems and inspection methodologies

Critical Mindset

End-to-end ownership mentality—you're not done until an operator can run it
Floor presence—comfortable working on machines, not just at a desk
Process thinking—focused on repeatability, not just making one good part
Documentation discipline—if it's not documented, it's not done

Physical Requirements

Ability to stand for extended periods during machine operation and prove-out
Manual dexterity for handling precision components and tools
Excellent eyesight (correction allowable) for detailed inspection work
Ability to lift and move materials up to 50 lbs as required for production

What We OfferComprehensive Benefits Package

Competitive salary ($100K-$150K)
Health, dental, and vision insurance
401(k) retirement plan with company matching
Paid time off and holiday pay
Professional development opportunities
Tuition reimbursement program

Technical Environment

Modern Okuma CNC equipment (VMC, HMC, 5-axis)
Esprit CAM software
SolidWorks CAD
Standardized tool libraries
Advanced quality measurement equipment

Impact & Growth

Technical leadership role with real impact on production capability
Challenging aerospace and defense work
Continuous learning opportunities
Direct influence on programming methodologies and standards

Our Commitment to Excellence

At Modus Advanced, we maintain the highest standards of quality and precision. Our AS9100 and ISO 9001 certifications reflect our commitment to excellence in everything we do. Our ITAR registration and CMMC certification protect the sensitive technical data of our aerospace and defense customers.

As a CNC Machinist & Programmer, you'll be instrumental in building the manufacturing capability that enables our customers' critical missions.
