Manufacturing Engineer

CNC Programmer

Pay Rate: $63.53 per hour Location: Greenville, SC Duration: 12 Months

Responsibilities:

• Generate and maintain CNC programs utilizing NX-CAM or other software, including multi-axis milling, grinding, and/or EDM.
• Verify new CNC programs prior to release on the shop floor utilizing Vericut.
• Incorporate on-machine probing using Renishaw cycles for part and process validation, including error trapping.
• Create programs following standards and qualified machining parameters.
• Provide CNC-related support to Manufacturing Engineers and offer operator training during new/rebuilt machine startup and process improvements.
• Provide daily operator support in the form of CNC programming and troubleshooting support to the shop floor.
• Support and implement tooling and fixturing requirements associated with CNC machine tools.
• Generate and support workstation instructions (methods) for CNC-related issues.
• Initiate and lead process improvement projects to improve safety, quality, cost, and delivery.
• Provide effective communication to appropriate team members when needed.
• Work effectively as an individual and in a team-based environment in a matrixed organization.
• Work effectively in a fast-paced environment while embracing and driving positive change inside and outside the organization when appropriate.

Requirements:

• Minimum 3 years of experience with Okuma and Haas controls.
• Minimum 5 years of experience with graphical-based CAM System CNC Programming. Siemens NX CAM experience preferred.
• Experience creating 5-axis CNC programs using a CAM system, preferably NX.
• Minimum 1 year of experience with high-level machine tool controls including sub-routine (macro), Renishaw probing routine, and variable-based programming, as well as CLM (closed loop machining).
• Significant "hands-on" background as a machinist, with the ability to personally set up and prove out complex first-piece programs.
• A track record of managing tight tolerances on large-format equipment where part deflection, work hardening, and thermal stability are critical factors.
• Extensive experience machining nickel-based superalloys (Inconel, Rene, Hastelloy, etc.) common in Heavy Duty Gas Turbine (HDGT) or Aerospace industry.
• Strong problem-solving and organization skills, with above-average shop math skills in geometry and trigonometry.
• Experience using Vericut or other CNC verification/machine simulation software.
• Strong familiarity with multiple machine controls including Haas and Okuma.
• Demonstrated proficiency interpreting drawing requirements.
• Ability to multi-task and productively manage multiple projects concurrently.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience with Okuma MU10000 (or similar) is a plus.
