Push the Boundaries of CNC Machining in a High-Tech Aerospace Environment\n

Aerodyn Engineering is hiring a CNC Manufacturing Programmer to join our cutting-edge team in Indianapolis, IN. If you thrive in a low-volume, high-mix environment and love solving complex machining challenges, this is your opportunity to work on one-of-a-kind aerospace components made from high-performance materials like Titanium and Inconel.

\n

This is not a production programming job — it's R&D-driven, highly collaborative, and ideal for programmers who want to be involved from start to finish.

Key Responsibilities\n

\n
• Program CNC mills, lathes, and grinders using Mastercam (NX experience is a plus)
\n
• Develop custom machining strategies for tight-tolerance aerospace and defense components
\n
• Collaborate with engineers, machinists, and project managers on job planning and execution
\n
• Interpret engineering drawings and GD&T to create precise toolpaths
\n
• Select tooling, define workholding, and support setup documentation
\n
• Drive continuous improvement in machining processes, cycle times, and tooling life
\n
• Contribute to quoting and estimating processes for new projects
\n
• Occasionally assist on the shop floor to troubleshoot or validate new programs
\n

\n

✅ Qualifications\n

\n
• 3–5 years of CNC programming experience, preferably in aerospace, defense, or R&D environments
\n
• Strong command of G-code/M-code, toolpaths, and fixture design
\n
• Expert user of Mastercam; NX proficiency is a plus
\n
• Ability to program complex geometries and work with tight tolerances (0.0001")
\n
• Experience machining exotic materials (Titanium, Inconel, Stainless, etc.)
\n
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
\n
• Willingness to work closely with machinists and other departments to ensure success
\n
• Familiarity with estimating, quoting, and lean manufacturing principles is a bonus
