Attention to detail and a strong understanding of machining processes, tooling, and G-code programming are essential in this role to ensure consistent and high-quality output.

Role and responsibilities

• Ensure Quality of Machined Components: Develop and fine-tune CNC programs to produce parts that meet dimensional, structural, and performance requirements as per engineering drawings and customer specifications.


• Monitor Machining Processes: Review and adjust machine programs and tool paths to ensure optimal cutting conditions, surface finishes, and material utilization.


• Tooling and Setup Management: Select appropriate tools and cutting parameters; support setup teams to ensure machines are properly configured for each job.


• Quality Control: Validate programmed output by reviewing first-run parts, making necessary adjustments to ensure compliance with quality standards and tolerances.


• Process Optimization: Continuously improve machining strategies to reduce cycle time, improve tool life, and increase overall production efficiency.


• Collaboration with Engineering: Work closely with engineering, design, and production teams to ensure manufacturability of parts and integration of design changes into programs.


• Documentation and Reporting: Maintain detailed records of programs, setups, and machining parameters for traceability and repeatability.


• Safety and Compliance: Ensure all programs and operations comply with safety regulations, operational guidelines, and industry standards.


• Troubleshooting: Analyze and resolve issues with machine behavior, cutting tools, program errors, or part deviations during production runs.


• Support Process Improvement Initiatives: Participate in continuous improvement and lean manufacturing initiatives, including automation, material reduction, and workflow enhancements.


• All other related tasks are considered part of the role and may be assigned as needed.

Knowledge and Skill Requirements

• Minimum 3 years of experience in CNC programming or machine programming within a manufacturing or industrial environment.


• Strong understanding of machining principles, G-code/M-code, and CNC machine operations (e.g., milling, turning, multi-axis).


• Experience with CAM software (e.g., Mastercam, Fusion 360, Siemens NX) and ability to interpret technical drawings and GD&T.


• Familiarity with a range of machining tools, materials, speeds, and feeds to ensure optimal performance and tool longevity.


• Ability to read and analyze blueprints, 3D models, and engineering documentation.


• Skilled in troubleshooting machining issues and implementing corrective actions efficiently.


• Strong attention to detail with a commitment to producing high-precision components.


• Excellent problem-solving and critical-thinking skills to support manufacturing goals.


• Good organizational and time-management skills to handle multiple programming tasks and production schedules.


• A growth mindset, with a passion for learning new technologies, programming techniques, and process improvements.
