The CNC Programmer level 2/3 is a specialized professional responsible for converting complex 3D engineering designs into precise numerical code (G-code/M-code) that drives multi-axis machining centers using CAD/CAM software. In the aerospace industry, this role requires working with carbon fiber composite materials and occasional exotic materials (titanium, Inconel, aluminum alloys)
Core Responsibilities
Program Development: Utilize software such as Mastercam, CATIA, or Siemens NX to create toolpaths for 3-, 4-, and 5-axis milling and mill-turn machines. Designing complete NC programs for complex 3, 4, and 5-axis mills, lathes, and mill-turns using CATIA V5/V6.
CAD/CAM Integration: Analyze 3D CAD models and blueprints to determine the most efficient machining sequences and work-holding strategies.
Tooling & Fixture Design: Design custom fixtures and jigs in CAD to secure aerospace components during the machining process.
Simulation & Verification: Conducting machine simulations (e.g., using Veri cut or Completed) to ensure error-free toolpaths before physical production.
Process Optimization: Continuously refine programs to reduce cycle times, improve tool life, and ensure consistent quality for high-value aerospace parts
Documentation: Create detailed setup sheets and tool lists to guide machinists through the production process.
Shop Floor Support: Troubleshooting programming issues during setup, performing "prove-outs" on the floor, and mentoring machine operators.
Basic Qualifications:
Numerical Control Program Level 1:
Bachelors degree and 0 year of relevant experience and or; 4 years of relevant experience in lieu of a degree.
Experience with CAD software (e.g., Siemens NX AutoCAD, SolidWorks) and CAM software (e.g., Mastercam, Gibbs CAM).
Experience with blueprints & GD&T: Expert ability to interpret complex technical drawings and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) symbols.
Experience with foundation in Trigonometry and Geometry for calculating complex cutting paths and angles.
Experience with understanding of G-code, M-code, and post-processing; expertise in machining aerospace composites and alloys (Titanium, Inconel, Aluminum).
Ability to obtain and maintain U.S. Government clearance and Special Program Access (PAR) per company and or business needs.
Principal Numerical Control Program Level 2:
Bachelors degree and 1year of relevant experience; OR Masters degree with 0 years of experience or; 6 years of relevant experience in lieu of a degree.
Experience with CAD software (e.g., Siemens NX AutoCAD, SolidWorks) and CAM software (e.g., Mastercam, Gibbs CAM).
Experience with blueprints & GD&T: Expert ability to interpret complex technical drawings and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) symbols.
Experience with foundation in Trigonometry and Geometry for calculating complex cutting paths and angles.
Experience with understanding of G-code, M-code, and post-processing; expertise in machining aerospace composites and alloys (Titanium, Inconel, Aluminum).
Ability to obtain and maintain U.S. Government clearance and Special Program Access (PAR) per company and or business needs.
Preferred Qualifications
Regulatory Compliance: Familiarity with AS9100 standards and export control regulations (ITAR/EAR).
Associate's degree in a mechanical or machining related curriculum or 6 years of machining and programming experience
