- Select the right tooling, cutting strategies, and workholding solutions for each job
- Troubleshoot machining issues and implement effective solutions
- Maintain clear, organized program documentation with proper revision tracking
- Support the quoting process with machining strategy input and time estimates
- Contribute to the ongoing development of programming templates, standards, and best practices
What You Bring
- 3+ years of CNC programming experience
- Strong Mastercam proficiency (required)
- Solid understanding of milling and turning processes
- Ability to read and interpret complex engineering drawings and GD&T
- Multi-axis machining experience a plus
- Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
- Comfortable collaborating directly with shop floor teams
Who Thrives Here

KORMACHINE is part of a Texas legacy dating back over one hundred years. Native Texan August Kaspar traveled to South Texas in 1890 where he found employment as a ranch hand on the Kokernot Ranch located in Gonzales County. As time permitted he began making wire horse and mule muzzles with nothing more than his hands and a pair of pliers. By 1904, August had become so successful selling his hand made products that he quit farming and began his business venture full time. The first labor saving machine August acquired was a hand cranked wire straightening and cutting machine.
One hundred years later, since launching KORMACHINE, fifth generation manufacturer Colter Kaspar has the most innovative and modern equipment on the market today. With the AS9100 certification, KORMACHINE machines products for the aerospace & aircraft, railway, automotive, and oil & gas industries to name a few. Based in Waco Texas and using the latest technology in tool and work holding to ensure a precise, high quality part, Kormachine utilizes high-end tooling and application resources to keep costs low and turnaround times within customers needs. Understanding and exceeding customer needs is the primary goal of KORMACHINE and verifying part quality and conformity are key factors in this commitment to customer satisfaction
