🚀 Push the Boundaries of CNC Machining in a High-Tech Aerospace Environment

Aerodyn Engineering is hiring a CNC Manufacturing Programmer to join our cutting-edge team in Indianapolis, IN. If you thrive in a low-volume, high-mix environment and love solving complex machining challenges, this is your opportunity to work on one-of-a-kind aerospace components made from high-performance materials like Titanium and Inconel.

This is not a production programming job — it's R&D-driven, highly collaborative, and ideal for programmers who want to be involved from start to finish.

🔧 Key Responsibilities

• Program CNC mills, lathes, and grinders using Mastercam (NX experience is a plus)
• Develop custom machining strategies for tight-tolerance aerospace and defense components
• Collaborate with engineers, machinists, and project managers on job planning and execution
• Interpret engineering drawings and GD&T to create precise toolpaths
• Select tooling, define workholding, and support setup documentation
• Drive continuous improvement in machining processes, cycle times, and tooling life
• Contribute to quoting and estimating processes for new projects
• Occasionally assist on the shop floor to troubleshoot or validate new programs

✅ Qualifications

• 3–5 years of CNC programming experience, preferably in aerospace, defense, or R&D environments
• Strong command of G-code/M-code, toolpaths, and fixture design
• Expert user of Mastercam; NX proficiency is a plus
• Ability to program complex geometries and work with tight tolerances (0.0001")
• Experience machining exotic materials (Titanium, Inconel, Stainless, etc.)
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
• Willingness to work closely with machinists and other departments to ensure success
• Familiarity with estimating, quoting, and lean manufacturing principles is a bonus

🏆 Why Join Aerodyn?

• 💰 Competitive Salary: $85K–$90K per year, based on experience
• 🩺 Top-Tier Benefits:
  • 90% employer-paid medical (75% for dependents)
  • HSA contributions
  • Vision, dental, short-term disability, and life insurance
  • 401K with up to 4% match (vests after 90 days)
• 📅 Paid Time Off: 2–3 weeks vacation (negotiable), 9 paid holidays, sick leave
• 🧊 Work Environment: Clean, climate-controlled, R&D-focused machine shop
• ⚙️ Innovation Culture: Work on unique projects that challenge your creativity and technical skills
