Mastercam Multi‑Axis CNC Programmer -- Turning & VMC

A day in the life in Hartford, CT

It’s 7:00 a.m. and you’re loading up Mastercam to shape a complex profile destined for the Defense, Firearms, or Medical sectors. You translate prints into efficient toolpaths, simulate in CamPlete, and review strategies with engineering. By mid‑morning, you’re on the floor validating your program, dialing in a CNC lathe for a tight‑tolerance finish, and documenting the setup so the next run is even faster. The afternoon brings a refinement pass on a 3‑axis VMC, a quick quality check, and a tweak to maximize throughput—closing the day with clean code, solid parts, and proud teammates.

What you’ll do

• Create, refine, and optimize CNC programs in Mastercam for 2–5 axis work (lathe and mill).
• Set up and operate CNC lathes to produce precise components that meet print and process specs.
• Partner with engineering and production to ensure accuracy, repeatability, and throughput.
• Inspect parts, verify dimensions, and confirm conformance to customer requirements.
• Troubleshoot machining and programming issues and implement corrective actions.
• Maintain clear documentation for programs, setups, and revisions.
• Stay current with CNC advancements and best practices.
