Job Description

If you thrive at the intersection of precision, problem-solving, and production, this is your opportunity to make a direct impact on the shop floor. We are seeking a skilled CNC Programmer to support daily machining operations through hands-on programming, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement of CNC lathe equipment.

This role plays a critical part in keeping operations running efficiently by balancing time between the production floor and an office setting. Serving as a key link between programming, maintenance, and operations, the CNC Programmer helps eliminate bottlenecks within the engineering team by working independently to solve challenges, support machining efforts, and contribute to ongoing process improvement projects.

Key Responsibilities

Programming & Process Improvement

• Develop, modify, and optimize CNC programs
• Improve cycle times, tool paths, and overall machining efficiency
• Maintain and update existing programs to ensure consistency and reliability

Troubleshooting & Support

• Diagnose and resolve machine issues when equipment goes down
• Provide real-time support to operators and maintenance teams
• Identify root causes of recurring issues and implement long-term fixes

Operations Collaboration

• Work directly with machine operators to ensure programs run effectively
• Bridge communication between programming, maintenance, and production
• Translate technical programming into practical shop-floor solutions

Project Support

• Assist with implementation of new processes, tooling, and equipment
• Support engineering and programming teams on continuous improvement efforts
• Contribute to standardization of processes and best practices

Documentation & Standards

• Maintain clear and organized documentation of programs and changes
• Follow company standards for program storage, version control, and revisions

Qualifications

Required

• Experience with CNC programming using FANUC controls
• Hands-on experience working with CNC machines in a production environment
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving ability
• Ability to work both independently and as part of a team
• Comfortable working both on the shop floor and in an office setting

Preferred

• Experience optimizing machining processes and cycle times
• Familiarity with tooling, fixturing, and setup practices
• Exposure to continuous improvement initiatives in a manufacturing environment
• Experience with Autodesk Fusion or similar

Key Traits for Success

• Self-sufficient – can handle day-to-day issues without constant direction
• Practical problem-solver – focused on what works on the floor
• Communicator – able to work effectively with operators and maintenance
• Adaptable – able to shift between programming, troubleshooting, and support
• Team-oriented – supports existing programming team and overall plant goals
