CAD / CNC programmer

Job Summary

We are seeking a dynamic and detail-oriented CAD / CNC Programmer to join our innovative manufacturing team. In this role, you will be responsible for creating precise computer-aided design (CAD) models and developing efficient CNC (Computer Numerical Control) programs to drive manufacturing equipment. Your expertise will ensure that complex parts and assemblies are fabricated accurately, efficiently, and to the highest quality standards. This position offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge projects, optimize production processes, and advance your skills in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

Responsibilities

• Develop and modify CAD models using Autocad and other design software to meet project specifications.
• Create and optimize CNC programs for milling machines and other fabrication equipment, ensuring precise tool paths and efficient operations.
• Interpret technical drawings, blueprints, and schematics to produce accurate manufacturing instructions.
• Set up CNC machines by selecting appropriate tooling, fixtures, and materials handling procedures.
• Collaborate with mechanical engineers and production teams to troubleshoot machining issues and improve fabrication processes.
• Maintain detailed documentation of programming steps, machine setups, and production runs for quality control purposes.
• Ensure safety protocols are followed during machine operation, tooling changes, and assembly processes.

Qualifications

• Proven experience with CAD software, or similar programs.
• Strong knowledge of CNC programming, especially for milling operations.
• Mechanical knowledge with hands-on experience using hand tools and tooling for fabrication.
• Familiarity with fabrication techniques including welding, assembly, and materials handling.
• Basic math skills for measurements, tolerances, and calculations related to machining.
• Experience working in a warehouse or manufacturing environment with an understanding of materials flow.
• Knowledge of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) is a plus but not required.

Join us if you’re passionate about precision manufacturing! We value proactive problem-solvers who thrive in collaborative settings and are eager to develop their skills in CNC programming, fabrication techniques, and mechanical design. This role offers a chance to be part of a forward-thinking team dedicated to excellence in manufacturing innovation.
