CNC Programmer & Machining Transformation Specialist

About Us:

At Harris Manufacturing Solutions, we’re not just machining parts—we’re reinventing the way a modern aerospace machine shop runs. For 50 years we’ve built precision and trust into every project. Now we’re rebuilding our foundation: modular pallets, automation, inline inspection, and lights-out machining. We need a leader who can help us architect the next era.

The Role:

We’re seeking a hands-on CNC Programmer / Machining Specialist who thrives at the intersection of programming, setup, fixturing, and tooling. This isn’t a “keyboard-only” role—you’ll program, set up, and run jobs while guiding our transition to a fully modular, automated, and future-ready shop.

What You’ll Do:

• Program CNC machines (Catia, Mastercam, Fusion 360) with precision and efficiency
• Lead setups, fixturing, and tooling standardization across modular pallet systems
• Drive adoption of pallet pool systems, cobots, and inline inspection for lights-out machining
• Collaborate with leadership to rebuild our shop foundation—interchangeable, scalable, and future-proof
• Mentor operators and machinists, building a culture of pride, precision, and continuous improvement

What We’re Looking For:

• 5 years CNC programming and setup experience (aerospace or high-precision preferred)
• Strong knowledge of fixturing, modular pallets, and tooling optimization
• Experience with automation (pallet pools, cobots, inline inspection) a plus
• Humility and leadership—willing to program, set up, and get hands-on while guiding others
• Critical thinker who sees beyond “lowest price” vs. “highest quality” and understands ROI

Compensation & Benefits:

• Competitive salary: $75k–$90k depending on experience, with the upper end reserved for candidates who deliver automation and lights‑out machining impact.
• Full benefits package (health, retirement, PTO, 401k)
• Opportunity to lead a once-in-a-generation transformation of a machine shop
• A culture that values stewardship, pride, and legacy

Why Join Us:

This is more than a job—it’s a chance to architect the future of aerospace machining. You’ll have the freedom to innovate, the support to execute, and the pride of knowing you’re building something that lasts.
