Location: Greenville, SC Duration: 12 Months Work Mode: Onsite
This position is for 2nd shift CNC programming and shop support/development.
Responsibilities:
Program, process development, and shop support for large VTL, large VBM, large head-head Gantry 5-axis, and large vertical multi-purpose turn/grind machines.
Generate and maintain CNC programs utilizing NX-CAM or other software for multi-axis milling, turning, grinding, and/or EDM.
Verify new CNC programs prior to release on the shop floor utilizing Vericut.
Incorporate on-machine probing using Renishaw cycles for part and process validation, including error trapping.
Create programs following standards and qualified machining parameters.
Provide CNC-related support to Manufacturing Engineers and operator training during new/rebuilt machine startup and/or process improvements.
Provide daily operator support in the form of CNC programming and troubleshooting support to the shop floor.
Support and implement tooling & fixturing requirements associated with CNC machine tools.
Generate and support workstation instructions (methods) for CNC-related issues.
Initiate and lead process improvement projects to improve safety, quality, cost, and delivery.
Provide effective communication to appropriate team members when needed.
Work effectively as an individual and in a team-based environment in a matrixed organization.
Work effectively in a fast-paced environment while embracing and driving positive change inside and outside the organization when appropriate.
Requirements:
Minimum 4 years of experience with graphical-based CAM System CNC Programming. Siemens NX CAM experience preferred and will be given priority.
Preferred Skills:
Experience creating 5-axis CNC programs using a CAM (preferably NX) system.
Minimum of 1 year of experience with high-level machine tool controls including sub-routine (macro), Renishaw probing routine, and variable-based programming, as well as CLM (closed loop machining).
Significant "hands-on" background as a machinist, with the ability to personally set up and prove out complex first-piece programs.
A track record of managing tight tolerances on large-format equipment (VTLs/VBMs/etc up to 2.5m) where part deflection, work hardening, and thermal stability are critical factors.
Extensive experience machining nickel-based superalloys (Inconel, Rene, Hastelloy, etc.) common in Heavy Duty Gas Turbine (HDGT) or Aerospace industry.
Strong problem-solving and organization skills, with above-average shop math skills in geometry and trigonometry.
Experience using Vericut (preferred) or other CNC verification/machine simulation software.
Strong familiarity with multiple machine controls including Fanuc, Haas, Okuma, & Siemens.
