Job description

Our client, a nationwide manufacturer of precision metals and plastics components, has an immediate need for an experienced CNC Programmer, to join our winning team in East Syracuse.

Our candidate of choice will be responsible for preparing detailed manufacturing instructions and programming data to produce machined parts and sub-assemblies using horizontal and vertical CNC machining centers to meet engineering drawings and specifications. You will determine manufacturing procedures and operation sequencing and establish tooling, gauging, and machine requirements to fabricate parts and sub-assemblies for various products, primarily from aluminum castings with some aluminum billet machining. In addition, you will spend time in the machine shop solving problems and improving processes in a team environment.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Creates medium to high complexity CNC programs using three+ axis CAM software.
• Works offline to produce a robust CNC program maximizing software capabilities that will simulate accurately at the PC avoiding collisions and excess time at the work center.
• Provides CAM support, downloads programs to CNC controls, makes or supports in the initial set up/prove out, obtaining of first piece approval and turns over production of part to operator.
• Diagnoses, analyzes, and troubleshoots programs.
• Assures compatibility of engineering drawings and specifications with manufacturing and fabrication capabilities by reviewing drawings and making suggestions for changes and revisions to enhance productivity.
• Reprocesses and/or modifies existing programs for increased efficiency and productivity.
