Senior Composite CNC ProgrammerMachinist

The Composites/CNC team within Mechanical Services builds high-priority prototype hardware to advance Andurils mission of protecting service members and securing national security. We work shoulder-to-shoulder with design engineers in a high-tempo environment building parts directly from rapidly evolving CAD models. Our hardware transitions from concept to real-world vehicles in weeks not years. This is a low-volume prototype and development environment. No production.

We are seeking a high-ownership Composite CNC Programmer/Operator to join our rapidly growing this role you will own the end-to-end manufacturing processfrom CAM programming and 5-axis setup to operation and final part inspection. This is a highly collaborative hands-on R&D-focused position. You program it set it up run it and inspect it. There is no production work here; you will solve complex unique tooling and prototyping challenges daily playing a critical role in bringing next-generation defense technologies to life.

• Program set up and operate large-format 5-axis CNC gantry routers and mills for trimming drilling and surfacing advanced composite components.
• Work closely with design and manufacturing engineers providing real-time feedback on early-stage prototype models to optimize Design for Manufacturing (DFM).
• Design and fabricate robust work holding including custom vacuum fixtures for delicate near-net-shape parts.
• Machine master models and direct-to-part molds from foam tooling board and other pattern materials.
• Troubleshoot unique machining challenges inherent to composites including delamination fiber pull-out and thermal degradation.
• Perform in-process quality control and dimensional verification to deliver high-quality prototype components with superior surface finishes.

• 4 years of CAM programming experience (e.g. Esprit hyperMILL) and 5 years of hands-on CNC setup and operation.
• Deep understanding of machining complex composite and tooling materials including carbon fiber (pre-preg and wet-layup) fiberglass Kevlar honeycomb foam cores and high-density urethane/epoxy tooling boards (e.g. RenShape).
• Strong command of G and M code high-speed 5-axis machining GD&T and experience with large-gantry 5-axis machines (CMS) and Fanuc controls.
• Expertise in cutting-tool selection for abrasive materials (e.g. PCD diamond-coated routers compression drills) and custom work holding.
• Proven ability to thrive in a fast-paced rapidly changing R&D environment with a strong bias for action and minimal supervision.
• Passion for national security defense technology and solving critical hardware challenges.
• Must be a U.S. Person as this position requires access to export-controlled data.

• Advanced 5-axis simultaneous programming for complex surface contouring and trimming.
• Experience with Siemens NX CAD and Teamcenter.
• Familiarity with probing cycles and on-machine verification (e.g. Renishaw).
• Experience with metallic machining and hybrid fabrication workflows.
