Description

We are looking for a skilled CNC Programmer specifically proficient in Autodesk FeatureCAM to support our machining operations. The primary focus of this role is to develop high-quality programs for our fleet of Fanuc-controlled mills and lathes. You will be the bridge between engineering designs and the shop floor, ensuring our manufacturing department runs with maximum efficiency and minimal downtime.

Key Responsibilities
  • Feature-Based Programming: Utilize FeatureCAM to create efficient 2D and 3D toolpaths, leveraging feature recognition to streamline the programming workflow.
  • Tooling & Workholding: Select appropriate tooling, specialty cutters, and design custom workholding or jigs within FeatureCAM.
  • Verification: Run full machine simulations within FeatureCAM to prevent crashes and ensure "right-first-time" production.
  • Collaboration: Work directly with operators to fine-tune programs on the floor, adjusting offsets and feed rates for optimized performance.
  • Other duties as assigned.


Requirements

Requirements:
  • Experience: 3+ years of professional experience specifically using FeatureCAM for CNC programming.
  • Controller Expertise: Comprehensive understanding of Fanuc-based systems and control architecture.
  • Blueprints: Mastery of blueprint reading and GD&T to ensure parts meet tight tolerances (e.g., +/- .0005").
  • Machining Knowledge: Strong grasp of speeds and feeds for a variety of materials (Aluminum, Stainless, Plastics, etc.).
  • Certification: FeatureCAM certification or a degree in Precision Machining is a plus.
