Mach Industries
CNC Machine Programmer
About this role
Mach Industries seeks an experienced CNC Machine Programmer to develop and operate precision components for autonomous defense systems. You'll program multi-axis CNC machines, design custom fixturing solutions, and ensure mission-critical parts meet strict quality standards while collaborating with engineers in a fast-paced defense manufacturing environment.
What you'll do
- Program and operate advanced CNC machines (5-axis mills, lathes, mill-turns) using CAM software to produce high-tolerance components
- Interpret technical blueprints, CAD models, and specifications to create precise CNC programs
- Design and implement custom workholding and fixturing solutions for machining optimization
- Troubleshoot machining issues, adjust programs in real-time, and optimize manufacturing processes
- Perform in-process and final quality inspections using precision tools and GD&T standards
- Collaborate with engineers on design, prototyping, and manufacturability to support rapid R&D cycles
What they're looking for
- CNC programming (G and M codes, CAM software)
- CNC machine operation (Fanuc, Siemens, Brother controls)
- Multi-axis and 3D machining expertise
- GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing)
- Tooling and fixturing design
- CAD proficiency (SolidWorks or Siemens NX preferred)
- Quality inspection and precision measurement
- Material expertise (alloys, metals, plastics)
