CNC Programmer
role at
W3Global .
Our client is looking for a Senior CNC Programmer. You will CAM program complex, prototype and production parts on 3- and 4-axis mills, live-tool lathes, and wire EDM CNC machines for aerospace, defense, and energy customers.
This role encompasses all aspects of CNC programming—from CAM toolpaths and fixture design through simulation and post‑processing—while mentoring junior programmers and refining company‑wide programming standards.
This dynamic position requires flexibility regarding the percentage of time allocated daily to each duty outlined. Requirements will change according to staffing numbers and outstanding work orders. Adaptability is paramount.
Position Responsibilities
Program CNC mills and lathes using SolidCAM, including 3- and 4‑axis operations.
Read and interpret complex engineering drawings with GD&T and 3D CAD models.
Determine proper tooling, cutting strategies, speeds, and feeds for optimal part production.
Research and procure necessary tooling, including specialty/custom tools.
Collaborate with machinists and engineers to ensure part accuracy and process efficiency.
Perform simulations, verify toolpaths, and optimize programs for quality and cycle time.
Assist in fixture and setup planning for new jobs.
Follow standardized Programming Procedure to ensure organization, traceability, and consistency.
Maintain program records, tool libraries, and revision control.
Coordinate with machinists to create tool lists to pre‑set NC tooling for incoming work orders, keeping machinist and operator downtime to a minimum.
Develop and maintain daily/weekly processing plans with the manufacturing manager and department leaders by attending weekly production meetings (use weekly work order log).
Skills & Qualifications
5+ years of CNC programming experience in a precision machining environment.
Expert in SolidCAM and SolidWorks or Mastercam (will require transitioning to SolidCAM).
Comprehensive understanding of GD&T, blueprint reading, and experience working with a wide range of materials including aluminum, stainless, and exotic alloys.
Proficiency in G‑code, post‑processing, and machine tool setup.
Proven ability to research and procure proper tooling for diverse materials and operations.
Advanced knowledge of cutting tools, technology, and material removal.
Familiarity with ISO 9001 / AS9100 systems; thorough program documentation and revision control.
Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot with cross‑functional teams and mentor less‑experienced staff.
