Job Title: 5-Axis CNC Programmer & Router Operator

Job Type: Full-Time

Department: Manufacturing / CNC Machining

Reports To: CNC Programming Manager / Production Supervisor

Job Summary:

We are seeking a skilled and detail-oriented 5-Axis CNC Programmer & Router Operator to support our advanced manufacturing operations. This hybrid role involves programming and operating 5-axis CNC machines and routers to produce complex, high-precision parts. The ideal candidate will have strong Mastercam programming experience and hands-on operation skills, with a thorough understanding of machining processes, toolpath optimization, and quality control standards.

Key Responsibilities:

+ Program 5-axis CNC machines and routers using Mastercam (latest version preferred).

+ Set up, operate, and monitor 5-axis CNC routers (e.g., Thermwood, Haas, Multicam) and milling machines.

+ Interpret and work from complex engineering drawings, blueprints, and 3D CAD files (e.g., STEP, IGES, SolidWorks).

+ Load and unload materials, set tools, and ensure correct machine parameters.

+ Optimize toolpaths and machining strategies for quality, efficiency, and tool longevity.

+ Perform machine simulation and program verification prior to production.

+ Inspect finished parts using precision measuring tools (micrometers, calipers, gauges).

+ Document setups, run times, tool changes, and part counts accurately.

+ Collaborate with engineers, machinists, and quality teams to ensure design conformance.

+ Troubleshoot and adjust programs or machine settings to resolve issues.

+ Perform routine machine maintenance and ensure a clean, organized work area.

+ Adhere to safety standards and company policies at all times.

Qualifications:

+ 3+ years of experience in CNC programming and/or operation, specifically with 5-axis machines.

+ Proficient in Mastercam; familiarity with other CAM software (Fusion 360, etc.) is a plus.

+ Strong knowledge of G-code, M-code, and CNC machining principles.

+ Ability to read and interpret technical drawings and geometric tolerancing (GD&T).

+ Experience working with high-precision parts in industries such as aerospace, medical, or automotive.

+ Mechanical aptitude with excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.

+ Strong communication and teamwork abilities.

Preferred Qualifications:

+ Experience with machines such as DMG Mori, Mazak, Haas UMC, Thermwood, Makino, or Multicam.

+ Familiarity with post-processor customization and toolpath simulation.

+ Experience with machining materials such as aluminum, titanium, stainless steel, or composites.

+ Background using quality tools including CMMs, height gauges, and surface plates.

+ Technical or vocational training in CNC machining or manufacturing technology.

Physical Requirements:

+ Ability to stand for extended periods and lift up to 50 lbs.

+ Good manual dexterity and visual acuity for precision work.
