Position Overview – Senior CNC Programmer

This position is for CNC programming and shop support / development. We are specifically looking for VTL, VBM, 5-axis mill (3+2 & 5-simultaneous) programmers.

Responsibilities

• Program, process development, and shop support for one or more of the following: Large VTL up to 2.5m


• Large VBM up to 2.5m


• Large head-head Gantry 5-axis


• Large vertical multi-purpose turn/grind


• Generate and maintain CNC programs utilizing NX-CAM or other software. This could include 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 M.E. (Manufacturing Engineer) and provide 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.
