Advanced CNC Programming Specialist — 5‑Axis & Mill‑Turn

Employer: Jerpbak Bayless
Location: Solon, Ohio
Type: Full‑Time | Shift: 1st

Is This You?

• Do you love cracking complex geometries and owning parts from print to production release?
• Are you fluent in Mastercam and comfortable navigating SolidWorks models?
• Does a job shop’s variety—prototype today, low‑volume tomorrow—sound like your ideal rhythm?
• Can you create efficient 4‑axis, 5‑axis, and mill‑turn toolpaths—and prove them out on the floor?
• Do you enjoy mentoring others and collaborating with engineering, quality, and production?

What You’ll Do

• Program complex parts for mills and lathes using Mastercam and Smartcam.
• Work directly from SolidWorks models and customer drawings to define machining intent.
• Develop multi‑axis strategies for prototypes and low‑volume runs.
• Choose tooling, workholding, and cutting parameters for quality and throughput.
• Perform on‑machine prove‑outs; refine programs to eliminate inefficiencies.
• Troubleshoot machining, tooling, and program issues quickly and methodically.
• Generate setup sheets and tooling documentation for setup machinists.
• Mentor teammates and maintain strong cross‑functional relationships.

What You’ll Need to Succeed

• 8+ years CNC programming in a production or job shop setting (job shop preferred).
• Expertise in Mastercam; solid SolidWorks capability (feature recognition/design intent).
• Extensive multi‑axis programming on mills and lathes.
• Excellent blueprint reading and GD&T knowledge.
• Background in tight‑tolerance work and complex thread forms (ACME, buttress, custom).
• Independent problem‑solver; experience with post edits and macro/parametric programming.
• Experience assisting with quoting or DFM/manufacturability reviews.
• Exposure to automation or lights‑out machining.
