Develop, modify, and optimize CNC programs using VCarve, Fusion 360, and AutoCAD
Write and edit G-code to improve performance and cycle times
Interpret blueprints, CAD files, and design specs to create accurate toolpaths
Select tooling, speeds, and feeds based on material and application
Set up CNC machines, including tooling, fixturing, and offsets
Run first articles and prove out programs, making adjustments as needed
Troubleshoot programming and machining issues to minimize downtime
Collaborate with production to improve workflows and efficiency
Maintain organized program documentation and revisions
Ensure quality standards and safety protocols are consistently met
What We’re Looking For:
2–5+ years of CNC programming experience (router and/or mill preferred)
Proficiency in VCarve, Fusion 360, AutoCAD, or similar CAD/CAM software
Strong understanding of G-code and machining fundamentals
Ability to read and interpret blueprints and technical drawings
Experience with machine setup and operation
Detail-oriented, self-driven, and solutions-focused
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, hands-on environment
