Job Description
Job DescriptionDescription:
The CNC Mill Programmer is responsible for the generation and execution of .NC programs utilizing 3-4 Axis Vertical (Horizontal is a plus) CNC controlled equipment in a safe and efficiency manner to produce quality goods. This position reports directly to the Manager and is responsible for the machining and manufacturing of parts meeting quality, cost, and delivery requirements set by the leadership team.
Requirements:
- Create and edit CNC programs (Mastercam) that support the machining of mixed complexity, precision metal components fabricated on multiple-axis CNC milling centers
- Perform technical data package review of components required for manufacturing (model & engineering drawing validation)
- Perform manufacturing process development & optimization (part setup/fixturing, machining strategy/order of operations, tool selection, speed/feed process parameter selection)
- Identify, select, and procure appropriate tooling for job specific applications (based on part material, geometry, features, tolerances, system rigidity, and equipment capability)
- Perform program prove-out validations (First Article Inspection, computer simulation tools)
- Collaborate with team members to identify process improvement opportunities (reduced machining/setup time, improved part quality, reduced manufacturing risk)
- Incorporate required design changes (customer driven changes, technical performance improvements, improved manufacturability) at varying stages of manufacturing process, as needed
- Cross-functional team participation supporting program schedule & performance goals, mitigation of manufacturing risks, and improve operational efficiency
- Operate and set up CNC machining equipment utilizing a wide range of controls
