CNC Programming & Setup Supervisor

Lead with Precision in Anaheim, CA

Step into a hands-on leadership role where your programming expertise shapes how parts are made. As our CNC Programming & Setup Supervisor, you’ll own the creation of machine-ready programs and the setups that bring them to life—while guiding a talented shop team to higher quality and efficiency.

A day in this role

You kick off by reviewing prints and models, writing clean G-code, and planning tooling. On the floor, you dial in offsets, prove out first articles, and coach operators through best practices. When a spindle alarm pops or a tolerance drifts, you troubleshoot swiftly, collaborate with engineering, and get the line humming again. Throughout the day, you maintain meticulous run records and mentor newer programmers and machinists.

What you’ll own

• Create and refine CNC programs (G-code/M-code and related languages) to produce high-accuracy components.
• Set up, calibrate, and prove out CNC equipment for repeatable production runs.
• Perform and direct routine maintenance and troubleshooting to minimize downtime.
• Partner with engineering and production to streamline machining processes and boost throughput.
• Verify parts against specifications and quality standards; drive corrective actions.
• Document machine settings, tool lists, offsets, and run histories with precision.
• Lead, train, and mentor team members in programming, setup, and safe machine operation; manage others in the department.

What you bring

• Demonstrated success as a CNC Programmer (or similar) in a manufacturing environment.
• Deep knowledge of CNC machinery, tooling selection, and modern programming techniques.
• Fluency in reading blueprints and technical drawings, including tight-tolerance callouts.
• Exposure to CAD/CAM tools is advantageous.
• Sharp problem-solving skills and exceptional attention to detail.
• Comfort working independently and collaboratively in a fast-moving shop.
• High school diploma or equivalent; technical training/certification in machining or manufacturing preferred.
