Step Into the Shop: Your Day as a 5‑Axis CAM Expert

Location: Rochester, New York
Compensation: $30–$45 per hour, based on experience

TekPro is partnering with a precision aerospace manufacturer to hire a seasoned engineer who lives for complex toolpaths and pristine finishes. As a Multiaxis CAM Manufacturing Engineer, you’ll translate intricate CAD models and GD&T into efficient, reliable 5‑axis milling programs that turn raw stock into flight‑ready components.

A Day in the Life

You’ll kick off with a review of new part models and prints, clarifying GD&T callouts and tolerances. In your preferred CAM platform (Mastercam, Fusion 360, or similar), you’ll craft toolpaths, simulate, and post programs for 5‑axis mills. After a handoff with machinists, you’ll head to the floor to validate setups, fine‑tune feeds and speeds, and troubleshoot anything that stands between the plan and perfect parts. Throughout the day, you’ll collaborate with production to streamline cycle times, elevate part quality, and fold best practices into continuous improvement projects.

What You’ll Own

• Developing and optimizing 5‑axis CNC milling programs for complex aerospace components
• Interpreting engineering drawings, CAD models, and GD&T requirements with precision
• Partnering with machinists and production to drive efficiency and part quality
• Diagnosing and resolving programming and machining challenges on the shop floor
• Assisting with setup, tooling selection, and process validation for critical parts
• Contributing to continuous improvement across CNC programming and operations

What You Bring

• 3+ years programming 5‑axis CNC machines
• Proficiency with CAD/CAM (Mastercam, Fusion 360, or equivalent)
• Fluency in reading engineering drawings and GD&T
• Background in aerospace or high‑precision manufacturing (preferred)
• Sharp problem‑solving skills and meticulous attention to detail

Why You’ll Like It Here

• Competitive pay: $30–$45/hr DOE
• Clean, high‑precision aerospace manufacturing environment
• Air‑conditioned facilities for comfort and consistency
• Access to advanced 5‑axis milling equipment
• Long‑term career growth within a stable aerospace operation

About the Opportunity: This opening is through TekPro, a direct recruitment partner to leading aerospace and precision manufacturers. The role is onsite at a precision facility in Rochester, NY.
