Job Description
On behalf of our aerospace R&D client, ClearanceJobs Talent Solutions Team is seeking a CNC Programmer to join the team in Tullahoma, TN.
We are seeking an experienced CNC Programmer to analyze, toolpath, and optimize complex 3D parts and exotic alloys for next-generation aerospace projects. Working with Mastercam (2023 or newer), you will take parts from initial CAD concepts to precision-machined reality.
In this role, you won't just generate toolpaths—you will work hand-in-hand with our engineering team and skilled machinists on the shop floor to solve tough manufacturing challenges and ensure flawless execution.
What You’ll Do-
Program Complex Geometry: Create precise, efficient multi-axis toolpaths (3, 4, and 5-axis milling) for intricate 3D aerospace and research hardware.
Collaborate Across Engineering & Shop Floor: Partner directly with design engineers and hands-on machinists to refine manufacturing strategies, troubleshoot setups, and optimize cycle times.
Develop Detailed Shop Documentation: Generate clean setup sheets, clear operator instructions, and comprehensive tool lists to streamline production.
Analyze & Problem-Solve: Evaluate complex drawings and CAD models to select optimal cutting tools, workholding setups, speeds, feeds, and machining sequences for standard and exotic materials.
Drive Quality & Precision: Ensure all programs deliver exact tolerances required for extreme aerospace and hypersonic environments.
What We’re Looking For-
Experience: 5+ years of hands-on experience programming complex parts for precision machining environments.
Software Proficiency: Deep expertise in Mastercam (2023 or newer). (Experience with Vericut verification software is a plus).
Multi-Axis Capability: Proven track record in 3, 4, and 5-axis programming.
Machining Background: Practical shop-floor machining experience is strongly preferred—you know how tools behave in real life, not just on a screen.
Clearance & Citizenship: Must be a US Citizen. An active DoD Secret Clearance is preferred, but candidates eligible and willing to apply for a clearance are welcome.
Drive & Passion: A high standard for accuracy, a strong work ethic, and a genuine interest in cutting-edge aerospace technology.
This position is fully onsite in Tullahoma, TN
Relocation assistance is available
