About Shamirel

Shamirel is a precision manufacturing and cybersecurity-integrated industrial platform supporting the defense, and aerospace sectors. We specialize in advanced 5-axis machining, serialized components, and prototype development with a strong focus on compliance, traceability, and secure supply chain operations (ITAR, CMMC, AS9100D alignment).

Our facility is equipped with modern 5-axis machining centers and a vertically integrated workflow built for high-complexity aerospace components, including turbo-machinery, propulsion hardware, and R&D-grade precision parts.

Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced Siemens NX 5-Axis Programmer with a background in turbo-machinery, including impellers, blisks, rotors, and multi-blade aerodynamic components.

This is a full-time, on-site engineering/programming role supporting both prototype and low-volume production on modern simultaneous 5-axis platforms. You will work closely with our team to develop robust manufacturing strategies for advanced aerospace components.

This is not a remote or hybrid position, due to ITAR and the collaborative nature of 5-axis development, all work must be performed in-person.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, program, and optimize simultaneous 5-axis toolpaths in Siemens NX CAM for complex turbo-machinery geometries.
• Generate complete machining packages: tool lists, setup documentation, stock models, fixtures, and simulations.
• Work hands-on with machinists and engineers to validate setups, verify toolpaths, and support first-article execution.
• Continuously refine strategies for cycle time, surface finish, and geometric accuracy.
• Support both prototype workflows and repeat production cycles on DN Solutions, DVF-series 5-axis platforms, and our 3-axis platforms.
• Ensure adherence to internal quality standards and ITAR manufacturing requirements.

Required Qualifications

• Expert-level proficiency in Siemens NX CAM (no learning curve).
• 5 years of experience in simultaneous 5-axis programming for precision components.
• Demonstrated experience with turbo-machinery:
• impellers
• blisks
• rotors
• compressor / turbine geometries
• Strong understanding of multi-blade strategies, blade-to-hub transitions, swarf cuts, and surface finishing techniques.
• Ability to collaborate directly with other programmers and machinists on setup, probing, workholding, and in-process adjustments.
• Strong communication, documentation, and organizational skills.
• Must be a U.S. Citizen (ITAR).
• Must be comfortable working in-person, full-time.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with DN Solutions DVF-series or similar 5-axis trunnion machines.
• Familiarity with AS9100D, ITAR, or defense manufacturing workflows and CMMC requirements.
• Background in aerospace, propulsion, R&D, or high-complexity machining environments.

Compensation

This role offers $75–$100/hr DOE for an initial 30-day engagement period (1099), focused on evaluating technical alignment, communication pace, and 5-axis programming capability in a production environment.

For the right candidate, this position provides:

• meaningful technical autonomy
• ownership of 5-axis process strategy
• direct influence on prototype and production workflows
• the opportunity to help build a best-in-class turbo-machinery manufacturing cell

How to Apply

Please submit the following to info@shamirel.com:

• Resume
• Examples or screenshots of Siemens NX 5-axis work (non-ITAR only)
• Brief summary of turbo-machinery experience (impellers, blisks, rotors, etc.)
• Availability and desired rate

Incomplete submissions cannot be considered.
