We're hiring an experienced CNC Lathe Programmer for a high-end precision manufacturer producing specialty, tight-tolerance components for aerospace and defense programs . A major part of this position is NPI and new job development . You won't spend your day maintaining the same production programs. You'll regularly be handed new, challenging parts and have the freedom to determine how they should actually be machined .

Why This Role Is Different:

Heavy focus on NPI and new programs Complex aerospace & defense components High-mix, specialty machining instead of repetitive production Opportunity to own the entire machining process Challenging tight-tolerance and GD&T-heavy work Work directly with engineering, quality, and experienced machinists Up to $50/hr + overtime (10 hours/week) Take home pay up to $140k+ Strong company-paid benefits

What You'll Own:

You'll develop CNC lathe programs in Mastercam and determine the best way to manufacture new components from the ground up.

That includes:

Programming complex CNC turning operations Developing machining strategies from CAD models and prints Selecting tooling, inserts, speeds, and feeds Developing workholding and setup strategies Programming OD/ID turning, boring, threading, grooving, drilling, and other complex features Supporting setups and hands-on program prove-outs Working through first articles and dimensional issues Troubleshooting tooling, workholding, and machining problems Optimizing programs for cycle time, tool life, quality, and process stability Requirements We're looking for someone who has actually built CNC lathe programs from scratch and understands machining beyond the CAM software.

Strong candidates will have:

CNC lathe/turning programming experience Mastercam programming experience Experience with NPI or new job development Strong knowledge of tooling, workholding, speeds, and feeds Strong blueprint and GD&T knowledge Experience with tight-tolerance precision machining Ability to support programs through setup, prove-out, and first article Experience in aerospace, defense, medical, or other high-precision machining environments is highly valued. Benefits 90% of employee medical premiums covered 100% of eligible deductibles covered Company-paid dental and vision Company-paid short-term and long-term disability Company-paid life insurance Overtime opportunities
