CNC Programmer - 2nd shift

Here, we craft excellence together. Your mission? Making the journey the most enjoyable part of the trip.

The CNC Programmer is responsible for creating, optimizing, and maintaining CNC programs to support the manufacturing of precision components used in aircraft interiors. This role requires a strong understanding of aerospace-grade materials, tooling strategies, and machining processes to ensure efficiency, accuracy, and compliance with aviation standards. This position establishes standards for specification and documentation to manage the deployment of materials, parts and processes.

This position contributes to our vision through:
- Technical Support:
• Produce CNC Machine Programming in support of commercial aircraft interior manufacturing.
• Develop, test, and optimize CNC programs for 3-, 4-, and 5-axis milling machines, routers, and lathes.
• Interpret engineering drawings, CAD models, CATIA models and technical specifications to define machining requirements.
• Select appropriate cutting tools, fixtures, and machining strategies to ensure precision and efficiency.
• Work closely with Manufacturing Engineers, Design Engineers, and Machine Operators to ensure seamless program handoff and part manufacturability.
• Perform program simulations and first-article inspections to validate accuracy and compliance with aerospace standards.
• Maintain and update CNC program libraries, tool lists, and setup documentation.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives in machining processes to reduce cycle times, improve tool life, and minimize waste.
• Troubleshoot machining issues and provide technical support on the shop floor.
• Ensure compliance with AS9100, FAA, and other aerospace manufacturing standards.
• Work to written standards and take on challenging new part designs that are outside standard.
• Create and release CNC Operator Documents, Sketches and may include traditional Tool Designs.
