CNC Programmer (Router/Mill Focus)

Description

Stratus Industries is seeking a CNC Programmer with a strong focus on programming, toolpath strategy, and 

process optimization. This role is responsible for developing and refining CNC programs using VCarve, Fusion 

360, and AutoCAD, while also supporting setup and operation as needed. We’re looking for someone who understands the full machining process and takes ownership from programming through production. This is not an operator-only position.

Requirements

What You’ll Do:

• Develop, modify, and optimize CNC programs using VCarve, Fusion 360, and AutoCAD

• Write and edit G-code to improve performance and cycle times 

• Interpret blueprints, CAD files, and design specs to create accurate toolpaths 

• Select tooling, speeds, and feeds based on material and application 

• Set up CNC machines, including tooling, fixturing, and offsets 

• Run first articles and prove out programs, making adjustments as needed 

• Troubleshoot programming and machining issues to minimize downtime 

• Collaborate with production to improve workflows and efficiency 

• Maintain organized program documentation and revisions 

• Ensure quality standards and safety protocols are consistently met 

What We’re Looking For:

• 2–5+ years of CNC programming experience (router and/or mill preferred) 

• Proficiency in VCarve, Fusion 360, AutoCAD, or similar CAD/CAM software 

• Strong understanding of G-code and machining fundamentals

• Ability to read and interpret blueprints and technical drawings 

• Experience with machine setup and operation 

• Detail-oriented, self-driven, and solutions-focused 

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, hands-on environment 

Preferred Experience:

• CNC router experience (wood, plastics, composites, etc.) 

• Job shop or high-mix, low-volume production 

• Experience optimizing toolpaths for efficiency and material yield 

• Basic CAD design or modeling experience
