Cnc ProgrammerManufacturing & Production

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.

The CNC Programmer role at SpaceX is expected to have a comprehensive understanding of CNC machining and programming operations. This role works in close concert with machinists, leads, engineering, and operations to increase productivity and optimize programs and procedures. The CNC Programmer will support the new IGT blades and vanes manufacturing line in Bastrop, Texas, with emphasis on 5-axis milling of complex airfoil, root, and shroud geometries on high-temperature superalloys (including nickel-based materials), plus coordination with EDM, cooling-hole, and finishing processes. The ideal candidate is comfortable with complex surfacing, contours, multi-axis toolpaths, and NX CAM. Mechanical design of simple, functional shop aids (brackets, holders, rigging, fixtures) is a desired skill.

This role sits on a project team installing and commissioning the line. We need a high-ownership CNC programmer who ships results in their core work and jumps in to help other teams when bandwidth allows. Don’t wait to be asked. If you see a problem or a teammate who needs support—machinists, engineers, ops, or another function—step in. We are looking for people who maintain a proactive, no-ego culture while we stand up the line and ramp production.
