Job Description Job Description Job Title: Machine Programmer Job Description This role focuses on programming and operating CNC routers using Mastercam for 3-axis and 5-axis machining in a varied, project-based environment. You will independently create programs, run parts, and develop new programs while current jobs are in process, ensuring efficient and accurate production of complex components. Responsibilities Program CNC routers using Mastercam for 3-axis and 5-axis machining operations. Independently set up, program, and operate CNC routers from start to finish. Create, modify, and optimize CNC programs to meet project specifications and quality standards. Run the programmed part while simultaneously developing the next program to maximize machine uptime. Interpret and work from blueprints and technical drawings to ensure accurate machining. Adjust programs and machining parameters as needed to improve efficiency and part quality. Work on a variety of projects, adapting to different part requirements and non-repetitive work. Maintain a high level of accuracy and attention to detail in all programming and machining tasks. Collaborate with team members as needed while maintaining the ability to work independently. Troubleshoot programming or machining issues and implement effective solutions. Essential Skills At least 2 years of experience programming 3-axis or 5-axis CNC routers. Proficiency in Mastercam for CNC programming. Hands-on experience operating CNC routers in addition to programming. Ability to program and run parts independently with minimal supervision. Strong understanding of 3-axis and 5-axis machining processes. Ability to read and interpret blueprints and technical drawings. Demonstrated ability to work quickly, effectively, and with a go-getter attitude. Experience specifically with CNC routers rather than lathes or mills.

ABOUT ROCKET LAB Rocket Lab is an end-to-end space company delivering responsive launch services, complete spacecraft design and manufacturing, payloads, satellite components, and more - all with the goal of opening access space. The rockets and satellites we build, and launch enable some of the most ambitious and vital space missions globally, supporting scientific exploration, Earth observation and missions to combat climate change, national security, and exciting new technology demonstrations. Our Electron rocket has become the second most frequently launched U.S. rocket annually and has delivered more than 230 satellites to orbit, all while we work to develop Neutron, our upcoming medium-lift, reusable launch vehicle for larger constellation deployment. Our Space Systems business designs and builds our extensive line of satellites, payloads, and their components, including spacecraft that have been selected to support NASA missions to the Moon and Mars and components used on the James Webb Space Telescope. NEUTRON Neutron is a medium lift launch vehicle capable of delivering the mega constellations of tomorrow, high assurance payloads, and human spaceflight. As a highly reusable launch platform, Neutron will deliver a highly cost-effective and reliable launch solution leveraging Rocket Lab's proven execution history with the Electron program.
