Job Title:

Senior NC Programmer

Reporting To:

Work Schedule:

Onsite – Torrance, CA

Moog's Military Aircraft Group is looking for a Senior ​NC Programmer to join them. You will report to the Manufacturing Engineering /NC Programming Leader and will have a 9/80 schedule option and work on-site at our aerospace plant in Torrance, CA.

To be considered for the Senior NC Programmer role, here's what you'll need to bring with you: 

  • High School diploma or GED preferred. Otherwise, demonstrated ability to understand and apply all verbal, written and computer work instructions or training in English, and demonstrated ability to perform simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division

  • Minimum 7 years NC Programming experience of multi axis CNC machines

  • Experience with program and troubleshoot complex machining processes on multiaxial/multifunction CNC machines.

Preferred qualifications:

As a Senior ​NC Programmer, you will:  

  • Determine operations to be performed on N/C and prepare detailed program outline and establish tooling and gauging requirements to produce Aerospace parts on numerically controlled machines.

  • Prepare detailed operation sheets for the N/C portion of the process and make estimates of setup and run hours for production parts and design & build hours for tooling. When a part contains a very large percentage of N/C work, it may be entirely possible that he/she is responsible for the total operation sheet.

  • In addition to the above detailed "desk type" of work, you will also spend time in the N/C centers solving problems and improving processes associated with the parts you are responsible for. The solutions of these problems may require the Programmer "A"s decision alone, or could result in your contacting and working with your Group Leader, Methods Engineers, Moog Product or Design Engineers, Quality Assurance Personnel, Moog Metallurgists, or Inspectors.

  • Work with department Engineers & Technicians to achieve on-time and cost competitiveness in process planning.

  • Provide technical input for difficult and non-routine Manufacturing Engineering work. 

  • Work in a matrix-based organization and take initiative to contact and coordinate with other groups when a problem solution so requires. 

  • Manage multiple tasks simultaneously and able to react to shifting priorities to meet business need.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
