We value people who take pride in their work, think critically, and look for ways to make things better. We're building a culture around a winning attitude, accountability, teamwork, and results. If you're someone who enjoys solving problems, improving processes, and embracing new technology, we'd like to hear from you.

What You'll Do

• Program and run CNC mills, taking parts from engineering prints through finished production.
• Develop and optimize toolpaths for precision components with tight tolerances.
• Support 3-axis, 4-axis, 3+2-axis, or simultaneous 5-axis machining, depending on your experience.
• Collaborate with machinists, quality personnel, and operations to troubleshoot issues and improve machining processes.
• Identify opportunities to reduce cycle times, improve machine efficiency, lower costs, and increase productivity.
• Help implement new technology, automation, and process improvements.
• Maintain high standards for quality, accuracy, and workmanship in a precision manufacturing environment.

What We're Looking For

• CNC milling programming experience in a technical, precision machining environment.
• Experience with 3-axis, 4-axis, 3+2-axis, or true simultaneous 5-axis programming.
• Mastercam experience preferred, with Mastercam 2026 experience a plus. Other CAM software will be considered.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and develop effective machining strategies.
• A track record of improving processes, machining efficiency, productivity, or overall shop performance.
• An open mind toward new technology, automation, and continuous improvement.
• A solid work history and the ability to work well with coworkers and leadership.

Aerospace and defense experience, complex tight-tolerance machining, and a background in quality or CMM inspection are strong pluses.
