Cnc ProgrammerManufacturing & Production

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.

The CNC Programmer will support SpaceX’s new industrial gas turbine (IGT) blades and vanes manufacturing line in Bastrop, Texas. Day-to-day work is NX CAM programming, especially 5-axis milling of airfoils, roots, and shrouds on high-temperature superalloys (including nickel-based materials). You will work with machinists, leads, engineering, CNC Specialists, and operations to ship quality programs, prove them out, and keep the line moving.

This is a full-time, on-site role on a project team installing and ramping the line. The line also uses grinding, sinker EDM, wire EDM, trailing-edge machining, laser drilling, and stem drilling. You do not need to be an expert in every process on day one; we are hiring a strong 5-axis mill programmer who will ramp on the other cells under Specialist and lead guidance. Mechanical design of simple shop aids (brackets, holders, rigging, fixtures) is a plus. We need a programmer who ships quality programs in their core work and helps teammates when bandwidth allows.
