CNC Programmers - Manufacturing

Description:

• Review architectural drawings, approved millwork shop drawings, specifications, field dimensions, and production requirements before programming.
• Create accurate CNC programs for custom architectural millwork, cabinetry, fixtures, wall panels, doors, countertops, and specialty components.
• Convert AutoCAD, engineering, and shop-drawing files into machine-ready CNC programs.
• Develop optimized cutting patterns and nesting layouts to maximize material yield and minimize waste.
• Program routing, drilling, boring, grooving, pocketing, hardware preparation, and edge-profiling operations.
• Select the appropriate tooling, cutting speeds, feed rates, machining sequences, and hold-down methods for each material and application.
• Program components manufactured from plywood, MDF, particleboard, solid wood, veneer panels, laminate, plastics, composites, and other specialty materials.
• Generate clear part labels, cut lists, machining reports, and production documentation.
• Verify dimensions, tolerances, grain direction, finished-face orientation, edge-banding requirements, and hardware locations before releasing programs.
• Perform program simulations and identify potential collisions, machining conflicts, or design errors before production begins.
• Conduct first-piece inspections and make programming adjustments to ensure components meet approved drawings and quality standards.
• Troubleshoot CNC programming, tooling, vacuum, material-hold-down, and machining issues in coordination with CNC operators and maintenance personnel.
• Work closely with engineering, drafting, project management, estimating, purchasing, and production teams to resolve constructability and manufacturing issues.
• Recommend revisions to shop drawings or production methods when designs cannot be manufactured efficiently or safely.
• Maintain organized CNC files, program revisions, tooling libraries, material databases, and project folders.
• Ensure that only the latest approved drawings and program revisions are released to production.
• Track material usage, machining time, rework, and scrap to support accurate job costing and production planning.
• Identify opportunities to reduce machining time, material waste, setup time, and manual fabrication.
• Develop reusable programs, templates, macros, and manufacturing standards for recurring components and assemblies.
• Assist CNC operators with machine setup, tooling changes, spoil-board requirements, fixture preparation, and proper loading procedures
• Coordinate preventative maintenance needs and report machine, tooling, or software issues that may affect production.
• Support production scheduling by prioritizing programs according to project deadlines and shop requirements.
• Inspect completed parts for dimensional accuracy, machining quality, surface condition, and compliance with project requirements.
• Follow Bestmark Nationals quality-control procedures, safety policies, and housekeeping standards.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe programming and CNC work area.
• Participate in production meetings and communicate potential delays, material issues, or programming concerns before they affect project schedules.
• Train CNC operators and other production personnel on program requirements, setup procedures, tooling, and quality expectations.
• Stay current with CNC technology, tooling developments, software updates, and architectural millwork manufacturing practices.
• Perform additional programming, engineering, and production-support duties as assigned.
