Precision Machining Programming Engineer

Why This Role Matters

Precision parts don’t make themselves—robust processes do. As a Precision Machining Programming Engineer at CCT Enterprises, you will architect, program, and refine CNC processes so our team can produce quality components efficiently and consistently.

What You Will Do

• Design end-to-end machining processes for new parts—from strategy and tooling to code and setup sheets.
• Program CNC lathes, Swiss turning machines, and milling centers; perform hands-on setups and prove-outs.
• Diagnose and resolve production issues by finding root causes and implementing corrective actions.
• Boost throughput and repeatability by optimizing cycle times, tool life, and workholding approaches.
• Author and maintain clear work instructions and process documentation.
• Train operators and setup personnel on new and updated processes.
• Review drawings, tolerances, materials, and requirements to determine the most effective manufacturing method.
• Support quoting by estimating cycle times, tooling needs, and process steps for potential new work.
• Identify and implement automation opportunities and continuous improvements.
• Partner with Quality and Production to sustain capable, stable production runs.

What We’re Looking For

• Hands-on engineer with strong CNC programming and machining experience.
• Self-starter who takes ownership and drives projects from concept to production.
• Collaborative teammate who communicates effectively across Production, Quality, Sales, and leadership.
• Detail-oriented mindset anchored in quality systems and disciplined methods.
• Comfort operating in a dynamic, growing environment with shifting priorities.
• Excited to leverage automation and AI-assisted tools to accelerate programming and process development.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in CNC manufacturing.
• Expertise in turning, Swiss machining, and/or milling.
• CNC setup and programming experience required.
• Programming: Mastercam and/or ABILE preferred.
• CAD: 2D/3D capability; VISI and/or SolidWorks a plus.
• Strong command of feeds/speeds, tooling, workholding, process design, and materials.
• Knowledge of manufacturing costs and efficient precision component production.
• Quality exposure: APQP, PPAP, ISO, CAR, SPC.
• Analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving excellence.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and specs.
• Nice to have: automation/robotics experience.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k)
• Paid time off
• Education assistance / tuition reimbursement
• On-the-job training and professional development
• Benefits start after 60 days of employment
