CNC Programmer Machinist

Smarter Alloys | Cambridge, ON

$32–$38/hr depending on experience | Full-time, permanent

Not your typical machine shop.

At Smarter Alloys, you won’t be running the same part a thousand times. We do rapid prototyping and manufacturing of advanced devices, everything from small, precision medical components to large-scale clean energy systems. The tolerances are tight, the materials vary, and the range of what comes across your bench is wide.

We’re a growing company with proprietary processing technology, and we need a skilled CNC Programmer Machinist who can keep up with that variety. One week you might be prototyping a miniature medical device, the next you’re machining components for an energy system. You’ll work closely with our engineering team to figure out the best way to make things that don’t always have a playbook yet.

If you like solving problems on the fly, working across a range of scales and materials, and having real input into how things get built then this is that kind of shop. We’re looking for someone who wants to grow their career with us and make a meaningful impact as we scale.

What You’ll Do

Program, set up, and operate CNC milling equipment

Develop toolpaths in Fusion CAM, Mastercam, or equivalent

Read and interpret shop drawings and 3D CAD models to plan machining strategy

Machine complex components to tight tolerances and surface finish specs

Work with engineering to improve part designs for manufacturability

Inspect parts using precision measuring instruments

Maintain equipment, tooling, and preventative maintenance schedules

Support material sourcing — quotes, purchase requests, receiving

Keep your work area secure,



organized, and compliant with shop standards

What We’re Looking For

3+ years of CNC machining experience

Solid ability to read shop drawings and 3D models

Experience setting up and operating CNC mills

Proficient in Fusion CAM, Mastercam, or similar

Comfortable machining to specified tolerances and surface finishes

Good communicator who works well with a small team

Can work independently without someone looking over your shoulder

Strong safety habits and attention to detail

Nice to haves:

Experience with Haas and/or Fanuc machines

EDM machining experience

Background in prototype or high-mix, low-volume environments

Experience machining specialty alloys or advanced materials

Why Smarter Alloys

Interesting work — you’re building devices most shops never see, from micro-scale medical to large energy systems

Growth — we’re scaling up and building out the manufacturing team; there’s real room to grow with us

Variety — prototype one day, production the next; no two weeks look the same

Ownership — small team, big impact; your ideas and input matter here
