Picture your day:

you kick off with a quick huddle alongside engineers, review a complex print, and fixture a workpiece on a DMG Mori 5-axis mill with Siemens controls. You dial in the setup, prove out toolpaths, and turn challenging materials—like Inconel or even metal 3D-printed preforms—into tight-tolerance parts. As production scales, you toggle between prototypes and batches, always looking for a cleaner cut, a smarter sequence, a more efficient approach. Over the first months, you'll start editing existing programs; by 6-12 months, you're on a clear path toward authoring full CNC programs. What You'll Do Set up and operate 5-axis CNC mills to create complex, high-precision components. Move fluidly between rapid prototype work and ramping production as capacity grows. Partner closely with engineering to troubleshoot, iterate, and improve manufacturability.

Ramp into programming responsibility:

begin by refining/editing programs and progress to full CNC programming within 6-12 months (e.g., Mastercam or similar CAM). Machine a range of materials, including exotic alloys like Inconel and metal additively manufactured parts, based on experience. What You'll Bring Hands-on 5-axis milling experience — non-negotiable. Strong diagnostic mindset and comfort operating beyond rigid, predefined procedures. Authentic drive to level up into a more technical, programming-focused role. Nice to Have Experience with DMG Mori equipment. Familiarity with Siemens controls. Mastercam or other CAM programming background. History machining Inconel or other exotic alloys. Exposure to metal 3D-printed parts. Background at a fast-growth space/aerospace hardware company (e.g., SpaceX, Rocket Lab, Vast). Core Proficiencies 5-axis Problem solving Machines & Technologies You'll Use DMG Mori Siemens controls We're scaling our in-house machining capability and investing in developing machinists into programmers—not just hiring to fill a seat. If you want ownership, variety, and a clear growth runway, you'll fit right in.
