Precision NC Programmer -- Milling, Turning & Drilling (Advanced Alloys)

Job Description

Job DescriptionTurn complex ideas into precisely machined reality

Imagine receiving a challenging print for a tungsten component critical to a high‑tech application. You evaluate the geometry, craft a Siemens NX toolpath, optimize it for an Okuma control, and build the fixtures and documentation so the first‑article runs right. That’s a typical win at Plansee Franklin, USA—where semi‑finished molybdenum and tungsten are transformed into complex components through teamwork and technical excellence.

Your mission

• Program CNC equipment with reliable, efficient code; verify and refine until it’s production‑ready.
• Create/maintain 3D models to support both programming and inspection workflows.
• Author clear, ISO‑compliant process documents, drawings, setup sheets, and fixturing/tooling details.
• Work closely with Manufacturing Engineering, machinists, sales, and customers to align specifications and acceptance criteria.
• Guide new products from kickoff through first delivery, keeping schedules on track.
• Own revision changes—update fixtures, CNC programs, drawings, and records with rigorous configuration management.
• Provide hands‑on shop support: machining best practices, setups, and inspection techniques at a moderate skill level.

What you’ll need to succeed

• High school diploma/GED; a two‑year degree or certification in manufacturing/machining technology is preferred.
• At least 3 years reading, writing, or interpreting CNC programs (Okuma format experience desired).
• 5+ years in manufacturing with strong precision machining in milling, turning, and drilling; experience with molybdenum or tungsten is a plus.
• Entry‑level CAD/CAM capability required; Siemens NX preferred.
• Basic understanding of MRP in a manufacturing setting; SAP experience desired.
• Configuration management proficiency and MS Office skills (Word, Excel, Outlook).
• Excellent communication and organization.

Rewards

• Medical coverage with 90% paid by the company and 100% deductible reimbursement.
• Dental and Vision insurance.
• Flexible Spending Accounts.
• Company‑paid life and disability insurance.
• 401(k) with company match.
• Time‑off benefits.
• And more.

Base pay range: $31–$37 per hour, based on your experience and skill level.
