Job Description

The 5-Axis Milling NC Programmer works closely with the Division leaders of NC Programming and NC Team Leads to develop high-quality CNC programs for complex milled components produced on 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis machining centers. The role includes execution of advanced machining strategies, designing tooling and work holding solutions, optimizing manufacturing processes, and supporting shop-floor prove-outs. The programmer ensures all CNC programs meet manufacturing, quality, safety, and delivery requirements while aligning with company standards and production objectives.

Key duties

Develop CNC programs for 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis machining centers using appropriate CAM software and based on engineering drawings, 3D models, and technical specifications.
Create and modify 3D solid models from 2D drawings, PDFs, customer-supplied geometry, and scan data when required.
Develop advanced toolpaths for roughing, semi-finishing, finishing, high-speed machining, and multi-axis contouring operations.
Design tooling, fixtures, work holding, and part retention concepts to support complex machining requirements and maximize process stability.
Optimize machining processes for cycle time, tool life, machine utilization, and manufacturability while maintaining quality requirements.
Apply advanced machining strategies including tool center point control (TCPC), dynamic milling, adaptive roughing, and simultaneous 5-axis machining.
Ensure CNC programs meet internal programming standards, machining best practices, and production requirements.
Interpret and apply GD&T, model-based definition (MBD), and tolerance schemes to ensure dimensional compliance.
Support program prove-outs on the shop floor, collaborating with machinists, manufacturing engineers, and quality personnel to resolve technical issues.
Analyze and resolve programming, tooling, fixture, and machine-related challenges during development and production.
Understand and apply FAI requirements, inspection methods, and aerospace documentation standards (if applicable).
Work cross-functionally to support new product introduction, continuous improvement initiatives, cost reduction efforts, and special projects.
Perform additional duties as assigned to support production and engineering objectives.

Requirements

7–10+ years of CNC programming experience in a manufacturing environment, with significant experience programming 5-axis machining centers.
Strong knowledge of CAM software (CATIA, NX, Mastercam, HyperMill, PowerMill, or equivalent) and post-processing workflows.
Extensive experience programming simultaneous 5-axis and indexed multi-axis machining operations.
Strong understanding of machine kinematics, rotary axis configurations, tool center point control (TCPC), and collision avoidance techniques.
Proficient understanding of G-Code and M-Code programming principles.
Experience with tooling selection, cutter geometry, feeds and speeds optimization, high-performance machining, and difficult-to-machine materials.
Ability to design and document fixtures, tombstones, pallets, and work holding solutions for complex components.
Familiarity with Vericut or equivalent simulation software for toolpath verification, collision detection, and process validation.
Strong understanding of GD&T, blueprint interpretation, model-based definition (MBD), and metrology techniques.
Experience machining aerospace, medical, energy, or other high-precision components preferred.
Proficient with Microsoft Office tools and capable of producing clear technical documentation.
Ability to collaborate effectively with machinists, quality engineers, manufacturing engineers, and production teams.
Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and a continuous improvement mindset.
Formal training in relevant CAD/CAM software and advanced machining technologies preferred.
