Confidential AS9100‑certified precision machining job shop (build‑to‑blueprint and customer specifications) is hiring a Milling Applications Engineer to drive reliable CNC programming and process execution for high‑mix, tight‑tolerance work.
- All vertical mills equipped with 4th axis
- Program 3/4/5‑axis milling using Mastercam and/or Fusion 360, with strong emphasis on 4th & 5th‑axis strategy (3+2 and simultaneous where applicable).
- Build machining approaches that balance quality, cycle time, tool life, and repeatability-not one‑off "it ran once" programs.
- Create clear, shop‑ready documentation: setup sheets, tool lists, work holding notes, operation sequence, and critical callouts.
- Support prove‑outs and process improvements with setup/fixture personnel and operators (reduce variability, improve first‑pass yield, stabilize work holding, eliminate rework).
- Work in an AS9100 environment with disciplined program release practices (revision awareness, correct print/spec use, clean handoff to the floor).
Remote work is available for qualified candidates for assigned programming/tasks.
- Programmer will VPN into our network (work performed inside our environment).
- Strict NDA required (and compliance with customer/spec confidentiality).
- Remote work must be performed from a secure, distraction‑controlled workspace with reliable internet and availability for coordination/prove‑out support as needed.
(On‑site candidates are welcome; on‑site presence may be required at times depending on job complexity/prove‑outs.)
Required- 4‑axis mill programming experience (required).
- 5‑axis programming & machining experience (strongly preferred).
- Proficiency in Mastercam and/or Fusion 360 (solids/surfaces, verification/simulation, clean toolpath organization).
- Ability to create usable setup documentation that a machinist can run without guessing.
- Comfortable with real shop constraints: clearance, work holding, tool stickout, chatter control, chip evacuation, and tolerance stack reality.
Health, Dental, Vision, Life insurance offered; company pays 85%+ of employee premiums.
60‑day try‑out period. Industry references required. EOE.
