Salary: USD 100,000–120,000

Workplace: on_site

Description

Overview

We’re hiring an NC Programmer to engineer complete manufacturing processes for the aerospace and defense programs we support. This site is unique—we focus heavily on high-precision CNC gantry work, utilizing 3, 4, 5, and 6-axis machines with multi-heads to produce large-scale, complex pieces. You won't just be writing code; you’ll be designing the manufacturing process from the ground up, including fixture design, CAM programming, and process optimization.

Because these parts go into mission-critical systems tied to national security, the standards are incredibly high. We need a high-end programmer who is highly proficient with SolidWorks, Mastercam, CATIA, and Vericut to support our prime contracts. If you want a role where your programming directly translates to aerospace innovation—and where you can build a long-term career tackling massive, tight-tolerance parts—let's talk.

Compensation

• Base Pay: $50 – $60 / hour
• Overtime: 5-15 hours / week is typical

Shift

• 1st: 5:00am - 1:00pm

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision
• 401(k) with match
• PTO

Requirements

Responsibilities:

• Engineer complete manufacturing processes for mechanical parts, light assemblies, and large-scale gantry CNCs.
• Develop, write, and optimize programs for 3, 4, 5, and 6-axis CNC machines.
• Utilize Vericut software to simulate, verify, and optimize toolpaths (a strict requirement for our Boeing and prime aerospace contracts).
• Create designs and CAD drawings for fixtures, workstations, and related manufacturing devices.
• Review engineering documents (drawings, CAD models, specs) for manufacturability and assess the impact of engineering changes on fixtures and processes.
• Support manufacturing process quoting and provide technical assistance/buy-off for internal teams and design companies.
• Apply industrial engineering problem-solving techniques to improve productivity, efficiency, and continuous process optimization.
• Research, document, and troubleshoot dimensional, tooling, and process issues on the floor to maintain quality and throughput.

Qualifications:

Technical

• 5 to 6 years of relevant NC/CNC programming experience in a precision aerospace environment.
• Experience using Vericut software for program simulation and transition.
• High proficiency in CAM software (Mastercam and CATIA required).
• High proficiency in CAD software (SolidWorks required).
• Strong background programming for multi-axis CNC machines (experience with large Cincinnati gantry machines is a massive differentiator).
• Previous experience working with Boeing or other major aerospace primes is highly preferred.
• Confidence interpreting complex engineering drawings, CAD models, and customer specifications.
• Mastery of basic math, strong computer skills, and an excellent attention to detail.
• High school diploma or equivalent, plus specialized training in programming/machining.
• Ability to handle the physical requirements of the role, including extended screen time and potentially long hours.
