With cutting-edge software and technology rolling out faster than ever before, the role of a CNC programmer is evolving rapidly. That’s why, at Ricaurte Precision Inc. (RPI), we’re seeking out star programmers who are innovative problem-solvers and active collaborators.
As a growing precision machining company serving aerospace, defense, space, and other challenging industries, RPI’s programmers play a critical role in turning complex designs into production-ready parts.
What CNC Programming Looks Like at RPI
Some companies require programmers to sit at their desks all day, working in solitude, but this couldn’t be further from the truth at RPI.
Our programmers are hands-on creators who work side-by-side with machinists and engineers to make concepts and designs into tangible products. Every day, they’re optimizing toolpaths, leveraging automation, and improving efficiency across multiple machines, from 5-axis machining centers to CNC Swiss lathes.
Our CNC programmers are deeply involved in the process, applying both technical expertise and creative problem-solving to achieve precision on highly complex parts.
Advanced Technology and a Digital-First Workplace
RPI is a technically advanced precision machine shop built around automation, data, and collaboration. We use advanced tools like:
- SOLIDWORKS, Mastercam, and ESPRIT for programming and simulation
- Fulcrum ERP for AI-driven scheduling and sophisticated traceability
- Datanomix machine monitoring for real-time performance insights
- Paperless Parts for digital quoting and process management
Our commitment to digital systems means programmers have full visibility into operations, from job scheduling to quality data, helping them make smarter, faster decisions.
Collaboration, Trust, and Growth
At RPI, we believe the best ideas come from deep collaboration. Our programmers work closely with machinists, engineers, and leadership to continuously refine processes and optimize production.
This open, communicative environment empowers programmers to take initiative and make decisions that drive improvement. You won’t find silos here; every CNC programmer influences all departments, from engineering to production to quality.
Additionally, we understand that growth comes through learning. If a programmer takes a risk to try something new that could improve efficiency, we see that as progress. We welcome curiosity and the pursuit of continuous improvement to push the boundaries of what we’re capable of at RPI.
Opportunity for Exciting Work Across Industries
At any given time, RPI’s programmers are working on a wide variety of projects, supporting challenging industries and leveraging diverse materials. Our programmers are exposed to diverse geometries and high-stakes projects that support world-leading aerospace and defense companies. Many projects start in the new product introduction (NPI) phase and evolve into full-scale production, offering programmers the opportunity to see their work make an impact from start to finish.
How Our Top Talent Benefits Customers
Investing in top-notch CNC programmers and machinists directly benefits RPI’s customers. Our skilled team yields tighter tolerances, faster turnaround times, and optimized production processes. Additionally, collaboration across highly skilled teams allows potential issues to be caught early and resolved.
Partnering with RPI means your parts are in good hands with our talented, expert workforce.
