This position is based at the Advanced Technology and Training Center (ATTC) in Warner Robins, GA, serving as a principal CNC programmer. The role focuses on processing parts built using advanced manufacturing technologies, including additive manufacturing, solid-state deposition, and directed energy deposition, to support Air Force sustainment activities. While the majority of work supports government customers, the team also assists industry partners.
As a principal programmer, you will leverage extensive experience with Mastercam to create CNC programs for machining fixtures, castings, and forgings on 3, 4, and 5-axis equipment.
