About the role / company: "Founded nearly eight decades ago and based in Meriden, CT, with additional facilities across the U.S., we are a leading precision manufacturer of mission-critical aerospace components — including engine, rocket propulsion, and airframe parts — trusted by some of the most demanding OEMs in commercial aviation, defense, and commercial space. From prototype through production, we combine advanced CNC technology, deep engineering expertise, and tolerances as tight as 0.00005", and we're growing with the backing of a growth-oriented investment partner." That's about company. Could be placed under About the role? Actually About the role could be a brief description of the role: CNC Programmer – Manufacturing Engineer (5-Axis, Aerospace). But we already have that in title. Maybe we can put company description under About the role? The heading "About the role" could contain description of role and company. We'll include a paragraph summarizing role and company.
Responsibilities list: Let's capture each bullet:
- Create, optimize, and maintain CNC programs for 5-axis machining centers using Mastercam and/or Siemens NX CAM
- Interpret aerospace engineering drawings, 3D CAD models, specifications, and GD&T requirements
- Develop efficient machining strategies for complex components in aluminum, titanium, Inconel, stainless steel, and other aerospace-grade materials
- Generate setup sheets, tooling documentation, and work instructions for production personnel
- Support machine setup, program prove-outs, and first article inspections
- Collaborate with Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, and Production to meet customer and regulatory requirements
- Troubleshoot machining, tooling, and programming issues to improve productivity and reduce scrap
- Perform machining simulations and collision checks prior to production release
- Optimize cycle times, tool life, and machine utilization while maintaining quality standards
- Support continuous improvement initiatives (process capability, throughput, cost reduction)
- Ensure compliance with AS9100, customer specifications, and company quality procedures
- Maintain revision-controlled program files and manufacturing documentation
Requirements list (mandatory):
- High school diploma or GED required
- Minimum 5+ years of CNC programming experience, including 3+ years programming 5-axis machining centers
- Must live within commutable distance to Meriden, CT — no relocation package offered
(Optionally also "technical degree or CNC programming certification preferred" could be in Qualifications.)
Qualifications list (preferred/additional):
- Technical degree or CNC programming certification preferred
- Strong experience programming CNC Lathes, VTLs, and Milling Centers
- Advanced proficiency with Mastercam and/or Siemens NX CAM
- Strong knowledge of G-code, M-code, and CNC machine controls
- Proven ability to read and interpret complex engineering drawings and GD&T
- Experience machining tight-tolerance aerospace components
- Knowledge of cutting tools, fixture design concepts, and advanced machining strategies
- Strong troubleshooting, analytical, and problem-solving skills
Benefits list:
- Competitive Compensation Benefits Starting Day 1:
- Medical coverage from day one
- Company-paid life and dental insurance
- 401(k) with Company Match
- Stable Aerospace Manufacturing Environment — long-standing OEM relationships in aviation, space, and defense
- Advanced CNC Equipment & Technology — 5-axis machining centers, modern CAM environment
- High-Impact, Hands-On Role: Build processes from concept through production release — not just run them
- Growth Opportunities within a leading precision manufacturer
Pay: Salary: $80,000 - $130,000 per year.
