CAD Programmer

About the role

We are a growing, make-to-order metal fabrication company supporting architectural and infrastructure projects across the U.S. Our team works closely with designers, engineers, and contractors to produce both standard and custom components, with a strong emphasis on precision, quality, and on-time delivery. Operating in a high-mix, project-driven environment, we combine advanced equipment with hands-on craftsmanship to bring complex designs into production. As demand continues to grow, we are expanding our production team with individuals who take pride in their work and enjoy a mix of technical problem-solving and hands-on fabrication.

What you'll be doing

• Set up and run a CNC laser (primarily Trumpf equipment)
• Program nests and optimizes material usage using nesting software
• Review part files and layouts before cutting to catch potential issues
• Verify the first pieces and keep an eye on quality while jobs are running
• Sort and stage parts for the next step in fabrication
• Support forming operations when needed (press brake exposure is a plus)

What they're looking for

• Experience running fiber lasers in a fabrication or job shop environment
• Familiarity with nesting software
• Ability to read prints and work from flat patterns/DXF files
• Basic understanding of sheet metal (steel, stainless, aluminum)
• Someone comfortable switching between programming and hands-on machine work

Nice to have

• Experience with lasers, plasma, waterjet, or similar machinery
• Exposure to press brake setup or forming processes
• Background in a high-mix, custom fabrication shop

Why this role stands out

• True blend of programming + machine operation (not stuck doing one thing)
• Consistent workflow setup that keeps machines running (no dead time)
• Smaller team where you can actually see projects through vs. being a number
• Variety of work—custom builds alongside repeat production

Benefits

• Brand new facility with new machinery
• Direct-hire position
• Dayshift - 4/10 hour shifts
• Comprehensive benefits
• Excellent culture and growth options
