You bring Mastercam experience and knowledge of programming best practices & strategies regarding nesting, tooling choices, cut order etc. Past employment and hobbies have provided you with an understanding of material characteristics & behaviors (plywood, hardwoods, MDF, metals, plastics). You’ve gained general knowledge of fabrication and manufacturing processes and technologies. You prefer things highly organized you have a strong attention to detail. Desire to learn and cross-train in a multidisciplinary environment is what motivates you. You’re able to work independently while also closely following direction. To ensure quality you keep tabs no issues and identify, troubleshoot and course correct as you’re able.

Work Environment

Axiom is a lively work environment that ebbs and flows with the needs of our clients, our company, and the industry. We are a small team that works together to get things done. Because we produce custom projects you have to be willing to ask questions and willing to flex between working on a team and individually. Adaptability to change will be key for success in this position.

Measures of Success

You’ll know you’re hitting your marks when your work is completed within hourly and project constraints; delivering timely, accurate, and organized CNC made parts to the shop. One thing we strive for is minimal rework / recuts. You work well with your peers and they say as much in peer evals.

The typical work schedule is M-F, but the role also requires flexible hours and availability for overtime.

Career Growth

For folks with the right interest and aptitude, there are a multitude of career paths at Axiom. The teams outside CNC include account managers, designers, engineers, project managers, and operations/purchasing. If you want to take what you learned about parts into fabrication, you could become a builder in wood fab or a metal fabricator. If you are keen on learning Sketchup or SolidWorks, you could become a Designer or Engineer. If you enjoy the idea of working with accounts to direct production you might be interested in a Project Coordinator or Project Manager role. Axiom’s PMs manage all aspects of a project through budgeting, engineering, procurement, fabrication, pack-out, installation/strike, and closeout. Or perhaps you are interested in Account Management. The AM is responsible for client success, client growth, and maintaining and developing relationships that are consistent with Axiom’s business plan, heritage, capabilities, and creative goals. There are lots of options.

Obviously, we have a need for a Mastercam Programmer, so we aren’t looking to make a fast transition, but we want you to know the growth opportunity exists.
