## About the Role

* 5+ years of CNC machining experience.
 * 2+ years of CNC programming experience.
 * Strong understanding of GD&T and tolerance stack-up.
 * Experience with high-precision, multi-axis machines.
 * Track record of optimizing programs and manually editing G-code.
 * Clear communicator who follows detailed work instructions.
 * U.S. Person status as defined by ITAR regulations.

Preferred

 * BS in Engineering or related technical discipline.
 * 5+ years in aerospace or turbine engine component manufacturing., If you're self-driven, detail-oriented, and motivated by high standards, we'd love to hear from you.

## Description

* Translate engineering intent into robust CAM strategies for 2-, 3-, and 5-axis milling, turning, and mill/turn equipment.
 * Drive cycle-time reduction and quality through toolpath optimization and targeted G-code edits.
 * Design fixturing and select tooling to hold tolerances and surface finish on demanding materials.
 * Build clear setup documentation to enable repeatability and safe operation.
 * Leverage machine simulation and accurate machine/control definitions to de-risk prove-outs.
 * Partner closely with manufacturing engineers and production to scale from first article to stable, repeatable production.
 * Apply rigorous GD&T and tolerance stack-up analysis to protect critical features.

Core Responsibilities

 * Program and operate multi-axis machines (2-axis, 3-axis, 5-axis, mill/turn).
 * Create and optimize CNC programs using Mastercam or similar CAM software.
 * Post and manually edit G-code to improve efficiency and accuracy.
 * Design and develop custom tooling and fixturing solutions.
 * Create clear and accurate setup documentation.
 * Incorporate machine simulations and manage machine definitions.
 * Collaborate with engineering and production teams to transition parts from first article to production.
 * Apply strong understanding of GD&T and tight tolerance requirements.
