o Demonstrated experience programming 5-axis CNC machines for aerospace parts (aluminum and hard metals).
o Proficiency reading and interpreting engineering drawings, GD&T, and manufacturing documentation.
o Proficient in CATIA V5 NC programming.
o Proficient in NC simulation/verification tools such as Vericut.
o Ability to create clear setup documentation and operator instructions.
o Able to work 2nd shift schedule as specified.
o Contractor eligibility to work under the terms of the engagement.
o Regular and predictable attendance is required.
o Experience with CATIA V5 and Vericut and programming 3 & 5 axis machines
POSITION RESPONSIBILITIES:
Join a high-performing fabrication team supporting aerospace structural production in Auburn, WA. As a contractor Numerical Control Programmer (NCP) on our Machining/Tooling team, you'll drive the NC programming, setup documentation, and machining strategy for complex multi-axis parts used on Client commercial airplanes. You will collaborate closely with planning, aerospace engineering, tooling, and shop-floor operators to turn engineered concepts into producible, high-quality parts. This role is ideal for hands-on programmers who enjoy solving machining challenges, optimizing workflows, and seeing their programs executed on the shop floor.
o Create, verify, and revise Machine Control Data (MCD), tooling geometry, and setup documentation for multi-axis CNC machines (primarily 5-axis).
o Interpret engineering drawings, planning documentation, and manufacturing requirements to develop robust NC programs for aluminum and hard-metal parts.
o Develop multiple setups and operations for complex part geometries, ensuring fixturing, tooling, and machine selection support producibility and tolerances.
o Produce clear setup sheets and operator instructions that enable consistent and safe machine operation.
o Use simulation/verification tools (e.g., Vericut) to validate programs and eliminate collisions or gouges prior to shop-floor execution.
o Troubleshoot and iterate programs based on first-article inspections, in-process feedback, and shop-floor testing.
o Coordinate with planning, manufacturing engineering, tooling design, and machine operators to optimize cycle times, reduce scrap, and address manufacturability concerns.
o For Level 4: Lead the design of custom fixtures and complex tooling arrangements and define machining strategies across multiple operations and machines.
o Maintain program documentation, revisions, and configuration control per company/contract requirements.
o Work under minimal direction.
Work statement is a non-managerial role, non-leadership role.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS (DESIRED SKILLS/EXPERIENCE):
o Prior experience creating custom fixtures and tooling for multi-setup machining operations.
o Experience defining machining strategy and selecting appropriate machines and processes for part families.
o Familiarity with aerospace manufacturing processes, inspection practices, and first-article requirements.
o Strong problem-solving skills with a track record of reducing cycle times or improving producibility.
o Effective communicator with experience collaborating across planning, engineering, and shop-floor teams.
o Experience with additional CAM systems or post-processors commonly used in aerospace environments.
REQUIRED EDUCATION:
Education/experience typically acquired through advanced education (e.g. Associate) and typically 6 or more years' related work experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience (e.g. Bachelor+4 years' related work experience, 8 years' related work experience, etc.).
WORK HOURS:
Full-Time/First Shift
