Permanent position for a CNC Programmer to program multi-axis machining processes and drive manufacturing process improvement at a precision metal manufacturing company.
Program 3-, 4- and 5-axis CNC machining centers and wire EDM equipment using CAM software.
Continuously improve machining processes through optimized toolpaths, feeds, speeds and tool selection to reduce cycle times and extend tool life.
Design fixtures, electrodes and special tooling in 3D CAD to reduce setup times and improve repeatability and part quality.
Identify and eliminate waste in setups, workflow and part flow using Lean methods.
Support new product introduction and first article runs, building manufacturability improvements into processes before release to production.
Prepare and standardize process sheets, tool lists, in-process inspection sketches and setup documentation for new and repeat jobs.
Provide cycle time estimates for quoting and work with Design Engineering, Quality and Production to resolve manufacturing issues.
Requirements
High school diploma or equivalent; Associate degree in Machine Tool Technology or Manufacturing Engineering Technology preferred.
Minimum 5 years of CNC programming experience on 3-, 4- and 5-axis machining centers, with a hands-on setup background at the Class A machinist level.
Proficiency with Mastercam or equivalent CAM software, including wire EDM programming.
Demonstrated record of manufacturing process improvement, such as cycle time, setup time or scrap reduction.
Strong command of GD&T and print interpretation for tight-tolerance components.
Experience designing fixtures and tooling in SolidWorks or Creo.
Experience programming laser/punch combination machines and sheet metal nesting software a plus.
Additive manufacturing for fixtures, Lean or Six Sigma training and ISO 13485 or similar regulated environments a plus.
