Senior CNC Programmer

Senior CNC Programmer (3 & 5-Axis)

Richfield, WI | Full-Time | 1st Shift (5:45 AM - 2:15 PM) | $42.00-$56.00/hour

Program the Parts Others Can\'t.

Some shops run the same programs every day. We don\'t.

At Strohwig, we specialize in manufacturing complex, high-precision components for the aerospace, defense, energy, and other demanding industries. Our customers come to us because their parts require creativity, precision, and technical expertise-not because they\'re easy.

We\'re looking for an experienced Senior CNC Programmer who enjoys solving difficult machining challenges, optimizing toolpaths, and pushing manufacturing processes to the next level.

If you\'re the kind of programmer who gets excited by difficult parts, tight tolerances, and finding a better way to machine something, you\'ll fit right in.

Why Strohwig?

For more than 40 years, Strohwig has invested in advanced machining technology, engineering expertise, and talented people. Our 210,000-square-foot manufacturing facility is equipped with state-of-the-art CNC machining centers, including advanced 5-axis capabilities, allowing us to tackle projects that many shops simply can\'t.

You\'ll work alongside experienced machinists, engineers, and programmers who value collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement.

This isn\'t a production programming job-it\'s an opportunity to solve challenging manufacturing problems every day.
