Applications Engineer

Mastercam Programmer / CAM Expert


The opportunity

Our precision manufacturing facility is seeking a Mastercam expert to drive multi-axis programming on our high-end CNC equipment. If you live in Mastercam and love turning a tough model into an efficient, bulletproof toolpath, let's talk.

You'll own your programs end to end – building toolpaths in the office, then proving them out yourself on the floor before handing finished programs to leads and operators. This role rewards initiative: we're after someone who takes the reins and runs, spots a better way and builds it, and doesn't wait to be told what's next.

Day to day

  • Develop efficient, reliable Mastercam toolpaths for 3-, 4-, and 5-axis work.
  • Build and verify post processors, simulations, and toolpath strategies for complex geometry.
  • Prove out your own programs at the machine, then hand off clean programs and documentation to operators.
  • Optimize cycle times, surface finish, and tool life through smart CAM strategy.
  • Partner with engineering and quality to nail first-article and production parts.
  • Push continuous improvement in our programming and setup standards.

Who we want

  • Strong Mastercam skills, ideally including multi-axis and post-processor work – or deep CAM programming ability with a hands-on, prove-it-yourself mentality.
  • Equally at home at a workstation and standing at the machine watching your program run.
  • Self-starter who takes full ownership of a part from model to finished, validated program.
  • Strong grasp of GD&T, tooling, workholding, and machining theory.
  • Comfortable reading complex 3D models and prints.
  • Always looking to make the process faster, tighter, and more repeatable.

Pay & perks

  • Competitive wage, depending on experience.
  • Sign-on bonus.
  • First shift, on-site.
  • Full benefits package including health coverage, paid time off, and retirement plan.
  • Privately held company investing in top-tier equipment and its people.
