Job description
CNC Programmer
3, 4 & 5 Axis
Do you enjoy taking a complex aerospace drawing and figuring out exactly how to machine it?
As our CNC Programmer , you'll turn engineering designs into the programs, tooling, and processes used to manufacture highly complex aerospace components .
You'll work with NX, CATIA, Vericut, 3-, 4- and 5-axis machining , developing and verifying programs before they ever reach the production floor.
Whether you're growing your CNC programming career or you're an experienced programmer who can take on advanced 5-axis parts, we have opportunities at multiple levels.
Your programs will directly support the manufacturing of precision components used in fighter jets, satellites, and some of today's most advanced aerospace programs.
If you're ready to put your programming and machining knowledge to work on something bigger,
then KEEP READING and APPLY NOW!
Why Join Orizon Aerostructures?
We manufacture and assemble some of the most complex monolithic machined parts using some of the fastest, most advanced CNC machines and manufacturing technologies in the world.
You'll work alongside experienced programmers, engineers, machinists, and quality teams while continuing to build your skills and take on increasingly complex aerospace programs.
What’s in This for You:
Competitive Pay: $25 - $55 per hour based on experience and location
Shift: Monday through Friday, 7am to 3:30 pm
Exceptional Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, life insurance, 401(k) matching, Flexible Spending Account, PTO

Your New Role:
Review and interpret aerospace drawings, customer requirements, and GD&T
Develop CNC programs using NX and/or CATIA
Design tooling, fixtures, workholding, and machining processes
Program 3-, 4-, and 5-axis CNC machining based on your experience level
Use Vericut to simulate and verify programs before releasing them to production
Work directly with Manufacturing/Application Engineering, Planning, and Quality to improve production processes
Develop setup sheets, operation instructions, and work instructions
Support first-piece acceptance and establish in-process verification requirements
Troubleshoot programming and machining issues
Improve first-pass yield, cycle times, programming hours, and overall machining performance
Participate in Root Cause & Corrective Action (RCCA ) investigations
Maintain and archive proven programs for production
Support production to keep quality and delivery schedules on track
What You Need to Succeed:
CNC programming experience in a machining/manufacturing environment
Experience with NX and/or CATIA
Strong blueprint reading and GD&T knowledge
Understanding of cutting tools, tool holders, cutter geometry, boring bars, inserts, fixtures, and workholding
Ability to develop machining processes and tooling for CNC programs
Knowledge of precision measuring tools including calipers, micrometers, depth gauges, and indicators
Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
Ability to work closely with Manufacturing, Engineering, Quality, and Operations
Aerospace or aerostructures experience strongly preferred
Vericut experience preferred
Your Experience Will Determine Your Level:
Level 1 – CNC Programmer
Program basic 3-axis parts
Develop tooling and processes using established programming plans
Interpret blueprints and GD&T
Use NX/CATIA and Vericut to support program development and verification

Level 2 – CNC Programmer
Independently program 3- and 4-axis parts
Program basic 5-axis parts with minimal supervision
Build Vericut projects to verify CAM processes
Design workholding and tooling for your programs
Work toward first-pass yield, cycle-time, and programming-hour goals
Provide technical support to Level 1 Programmers
Level 3 – Senior CNC Programmer
Independently program complex 3-, 4- and 5-axis aerospace parts
Develop workholding and tooling for complex programs
Build Vericut machine, control, and tool-management files
Lead RCCA investigations
Mentor and train Level 1 and Level 2 Programmers
Level 4 – Advanced CNC Programmer
Handle the most advanced programming responsibilities across 3-, 4- and 5-axis machining
Build and modify post processors using NX Post Builder, ICAM, Post Works, and related tools
Build machine-control and simulation models for new and existing CNC equipment
Develop and manage advanced tool libraries
Evaluate and implement new programming, software, and tooling technologies
Serve as a technical resource and mentor for other CNC Programmers
Help drive continuous improvement across programming and manufacturing
