Job Description
Sheet Metal CNC Nesting Programmer

Location: Rochester, NY area (Onsite, 1st Shift) | Compensation: $70,000–$85,000/year DOE | Job Type: Full-Time

A Day in the Life

You start your morning on the shop floor, reviewing customer models and prints queued for production. Your first task: create efficient nests that keep material usage lean while meeting quality and delivery targets. You shift between programming for press brakes, laser turrets, and other blanking equipmentselecting the right approach for each job and machine capability. As jobs hit the floor, you’re the go-to teammate for setup questions and programming clarifications. When a Non-Conformance Material Report (NCMR) appears, you dig into root cause and close it out, then address pre-production review action items to keep the next run even tighter.
