Position Overview

We are seeking a skilled Millwork Optimizer / CNC Programmer to bridge the gap between our technical department and the shop floor. In this role, your primary mission is efficiency: taking digital design files and organizing them to achieve the maximum material yield with minimal waste. You will be responsible for preparing, nesting, and programming parts for our CNC machinery, ensuring our production floor runs seamlessly and cost-effectively.

What You’ll Do (Core Responsibilities)

- Maximize Material Yield: Analyze project engineering data to nest parts onto sheet goods (MDF, plywood, veneers,partical board) strategically minimizing scrap and drop-off pieces.
- CNC Programming: Convert engineering data and shop drawings into exact machine-ready files (G-Code/nesting programs) for our CNC routers, panel saws, and edgebanders.
- Quality Assurance & Verification: Review CAD data, hardware specs, material thicknesses, and grain directions in prior and correct design errors before machining begins.
- Inventory & Material Allocation: Collaborate with procurement and shop leads to specify exact sheet sizes, quantities, and wood species required for upcoming production runs.
- Troubleshoot & Improve:



Work closely with CNC operators to resolve any programming errors on the floor and continuously optimize the digital-to-physical manufacturing workflow.

What We’re Looking For (Requirements)

- Software Proficiency: 2+ years of hands-on experience using industry-standard cabinet/millwork software (Such as Thermwood, CutRite, wood woop, Autocad, Imos(construct)).
- Industry Background: Strong knowledge of custom millwork fabrication, cabinet construction methods, wood materials, and hardware integration.
- Blueprint Literacy: High proficiency in reading and interpreting architectural drawings, shop drawings, and 3D submittal packages.
- Math & Logic Skills: Solid geometric layout skills with an understanding of tolerances, tooling, and feed speeds.
- Detail Focus: An obsessive eye for detail; a single wrong click can ruin expensive materials, so accuracy is paramount.

Experience & Education

- Minimum of 2–3 years of experience in a technical, programming, or engineering role within an automated millwork or cabinet manufacturing environment.
- High school diploma or equivalent; formal training in Woodworking Technology, CAD Drafting, or Manufacturing Engineering is highly preferred.

Pay: $40,000.00-$50,000.00 per year
