We’re hiring an experiencedMulti-Axis CNC Lathe Programmerto join a rapidly growing, high-end precision manufacturer supportingaerospace, defense, and other advanced industries.
This is amulti-campus manufacturing operation in the San Jose areawith modern, climate-controlled facilities, advanced CNC technology, and significant growth plans. The company is continuing to invest in its equipment, capabilities, and people as it takes on increasingly complex aerospace and defense programs.
This role is ideal for a programmer who wants to work oncomplex, tight-tolerance componentsrather than repetitive production. You’ll own jobs from print/model through programming, tooling and workholding strategy, prove-out, first article, and production optimization.
Logistics & Compensation:
- $40-52/hr depending on experience
- First Shift
- 50-hour workweek with consistent overtime
- Performance bonuses paid twice annually
Responsibilities:
- Develop, prove out, and optimize programs formulti-axis CNC lathes and mill-turn equipment
- Program complex turning operations includinglive tooling, C/Y-axis machining, sub-spindle work, threading, grooving, boring, drilling, and milling
- Develop complete machining strategies fromCAD models, engineering drawings, and GD&T
- Select tooling, inserts, workholding, speeds, feeds, and operation sequences
- Supportmachine setups, first articles, and new-part prove-outs
- Troubleshoot programming, tooling, workholding, dimensional, and machining issues directly on the shop floor
