CNC Programmer

CNC ProgrammerCNC Programmers are responsible for developing CNC programs to control machining or processing of parts by automatic machine tools, equipment or systems. A CNC Programmer designs these programs to meet contract documentation, specifications, and drawings while using best practices to minimize cut time and tool usage. CNC Programming may also include running CNC Machines to prove out new programs.Duties and ResponsibilitiesServe as a liaison for engineers and CNC machine operators to facilitate clear and concise communication.Determine the sequence of CNC machine operationsRevise programs to eliminate errors and re-testing programs to ensure problem resolutionAnalyze job orders, drawings, blueprints, specifications and design data to calculate dimensions, tool selection, machine speeds and feed ratesDetermining reference points, machine cutting paths and computing angular and linear dimensions, radii and curvaturesCompare computer printouts with original part specifications and blueprints to verify accuracy of instructionsEntering coordinates into program memoriesWrite programs and store programs on mediaModifying existing programs to enhance efficiencyDetermine machining methods/sequence/metal removal strategy per operationDetermine work-holding if not defined by Machining EngineerAccount for part handling and work-holding with CAM pathCreate and verify code (CAM)Quick check models for accuracy during CAM creationCreate instructional cover sheetsObserve CNC machines on trial runs or conduct computer simulations to ensure that programs and machinery will function properly and produce items that meet specificationsBe involved in proving out 1st piece operations and programming rev'sDetermine cutting tools to be used and ensure availabilityMeet or exceed the planning due dates assigned by the planning leaderFeedback status of planning work to planning leaderFeedback actual program CAM timeAs assigned work with estimating on high profile quotesContinual CNC Programming Process DevelopmentOther duties as assignedRequirementsFormal Education and Experience RequirementsAssociates degree in a technical field preferredMinimum 5 years industry-related experience preferredCNC Machining experience for setting up various types of machinesSolid Works & CAM Works Certifications are a plusHighschool diplomaSkills and AbilitiesStrong Math skillsProblem Solving skillsBlueprint readingKnowledge of GD&TAbility to work in a team environment and independentlyStrong organizational skillsExcellent written and verbal communication skillsInternal and External Communication ExpectationsColleaguesFloor Lead MenSupervisorsCustomersVendorsSenior ManagementThis position description is subject to change.
