CNC Programmer

The CNC Programmer creates, modifies, and verifies programs and setup sheets for CNC Mills operations. This role is essential in transforming engineering designs into precise, high-quality components through efficient programming, fixture design, and process optimization.

What You’ll Do:

• Accurately and consistently document all performed tasks on appropriate records (work orders, inspection sheets, maintenance logs, etc.).

• Interpret Engineering specifications, Drawings & GD&T per ASME Y14.5.

• Generate toolpaths, solid models, and drawings in CAD/CAM software.

• Develop and improve advanced CNC machining and inspection processes.

• Inspect documents for previously completed operation sign off and verify part counts before beginning any manufacturing operation.

• Perform required maintenance checks of equipment before beginning any manufacturing operation.

• Prior to use, ensure measuring equipment has been calibrated, is not beyond calibration date, and is in good working condition.

• Follow established protocol to maintain ID & traceability of product and documentation.

• Reference applicable drawings, specifications, and Manufacturing Process Instructions before beginning any manufacturing operation.

• Follow department Standard Process Instructions.

• Provide responsive support in the production of close tolerance components.

• Resolve machining related quality issues.

• Create, modify, and verify programs for all shop equipment.

• Design and program work holding fixtures for varying levels of production.

• Reduce component cycle time by optimizing programs, cutting tools, and fixturing.

• Create and maintain process documentation for legacy products.

• Research, test, and implement new cutting tools, work holding, and programming technology.

• Ensure all new CNC programs introduced comply with and support product flow through the facility.

What You'll Need:

• AS Degree in Manufacturing Technology preferred or equivalent work experience.

• Minimum 4 years of experience working with various CAD/CAM software packages (Esprit/MasterCAM & Solidworks preferred).

• Minimum 8 years of experience working with CNC equipment in a manufacturing environment.Medical device manufacturing experience is a plus.

• Experience with various inspection methods including mechanical inspection and CMM inspection.

• Strong computer skills (MS Office Suite, CAD, CAM).

You should be proficient in:

• CNC Programming
• CNC Machine Setup & Changeover
• Advanced Inspection & Gauge Measurement

Machines & technologies you'll use:

• CAM Software (Mastercam)
• CNC Mill (5+ axis VMC)
• CNC Lathe (5+ axis)
