Computer Numerical Control Programmer

Build the Foundation | Hands-On Role | Program the futureIf you’re a CNC programmer who also knows how to set up machines, troubleshoot issues, and figure things out without a playbook, this is a rare opportunity to step into a role where your impact will be immediate.This is a newly created role supporting a growing machining operation within our amazing client. The team has recently brought in new machining work and equipment, and they need someone who can help stabilize, program, and improve the process from the ground up.What This Role Really IsThis is a hands-on programming + setup role where you will:Program partsSet up machinesTroubleshoot issues in real timeHelp bring structure to a fast-evolving operationThere’s no deep bench of programmers on site today, so you’ll need to be comfortable figuring things out, learning as you go, and taking ownership.What You’ll DoCreate and optimize CNC programs (G-code) across lathes and machining centersSet up machines and support first-piece production to ensure quality outputTroubleshoot machining and programming issues on the floorWork with DMG Mori CNC equipment and similar platforms (shared G-code principles)Translate engineering models into efficient machining strategies using Fusion 360 / InventorDevelop and maintain process documentation and SOPsIdentify opportunities to improve cycle time, setup time, and overall throughputBring structure and consistency to a growing and evolving machining environmentWhat Makes This Role DifferentNew role, real influence – You’re not walking into a fully built systemVariety over volume – Lower volume, more complexity, more problem-solvingOwnership – You’ll be the person people rely on to make things workGrowth environment – New work has been brought in, and the operation is scalingWhat We’re Looking ForMust-Have:Strong G-code programming capabilityExperience with CNC programming and machine setupAbility to troubleshoot machining and program issues independentlyExperience with CAD/CAM tools (Fusion 360, Inventor, or similar)Comfortable working in an environment without a heavy structureNice to Have:Experience with DMG Mori or similar equipment3D modeling experienceExposure to lean manufacturing principlesExperience building or improving processes from scratchWho Will Succeed HereSomeone who can walk into a bit of chaos and bring orderA programmer who actually understands how parts are made, not just how to code themSomeone who enjoys solving problems on the floor, not just behind a screenA self-starter who doesn’t need constant directionWhy This OpportunityOur client is investing in growth in clean energy and cryogenic systems—this role directly supports that expansion. More importantly, this is a chance to:Step into a role with real ownershipBuild processes, not just follow themBe part of a team that is still taking shapeBottom Line: If you want to step in, take ownership, and help build something better, this is exactly that kind of role.
