Position Overview
We are seeking an experienced CNC Programmer to develop and optimize CNC programs for milling and turning operations. The role focuses on translating engineering drawings into efficient G-code using CAM systems, improving machining processes, and supporting production to achieve quality, productivity, and cost targets. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with mills, lathes, CAM software, and strong problem-solving skills.
Key Responsibilities
- Create, edit, and optimize CNC programs (G-code) for 3- and 5-axis milling machines and CNC lathes using CAM software.
- Translate engineering drawings, CAD models, and work instructions into accurate CNC toolpaths and setup sheets.
- Simulate and validate programs in CAM/CNC simulation tools to verify toolpaths, collision avoidance, and material removal.
- Select cutting tools, feeds, speeds, and machining strategies to balance cycle time, tool life, and surface finish.
- Collaborate with engineers, machinists, and quality inspectors to resolve manufacturing issues and implement process improvements.
- Generate and maintain program documentation, setup sheets, tooling lists, and revision control for production runs.
- Support shop floor setup, first-article runs, and troubleshooting of programs and machine performance.
- Analyze scrap, downtime, and process capability data to recommend corrective actions and continuous improvement initiatives.
- Train and mentor operators and junior programmers on programming best practices, tooling, and CNC operation safety.
Qualifications
- 3+ years of experience programming CNC mills and lathes in a production environment.
- Proficiency with CAM software (e.g., Mastercam, Fusion 360, Siemens NX, or similar) and strong ability to generate and edit G-code.
- Hands-on experience with 3-axis and multi-axis milling as well as turning operations and tooling selection.
- Solid understanding of machining principles, feeds and speeds, cutting tool geometry, and material behavior.
- Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, and CAD models (SolidWorks, Inventor, or similar).
- Familiarity with CNC control platforms (Fanuc, Haas, Siemens) and shop floor safety practices.
- Strong troubleshooting, communication, and teamwork skills; detail-oriented with a focus on continuous improvement.
- Associate degree or certificate in machining, manufacturing technology, or relevant vocational training preferred; equivalent experience considered.
