CNC Programmer - 3-5 Axis Precision Machining

Analog Modules, Inc.; Hood River (OR); On-site; USD 70,000 - 95,000; Full time

Job summary

Decavo is seeking a skilled CNC Programmer to develop, validate, and maintain programs for 3-, 4-, and 5-axis machining of aluminum tooling and composite parts. You will determine tooling, workholding, feeds, speeds, toolpaths, and documentation, while supporting machinists during prove-out and production.

You will collaborate with Production, Engineering, and Quality to improve manufacturability, quality, and schedule performance, and may occasionally set up and operate CNC equipment to

Qualifications

• Five or more years of CNC programming and machining experience in a manufacturing environment.
• Demonstrated proficiency with Mastercam or comparable CAD/CAM software.
• Experience developing and troubleshooting programs for 3-axis CNC machining centers; 4- or 5-axis programming strongly preferred.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, CAD models, technical specifications, work instructions, tolerances, and GD&T requirements.
• Strong working knowledge of cutting tools, toolholders, fixtures, workholding, offsets, feeds, speeds, machining calculations, and process planning.
• Experience using calipers, micrometers, gauges, and other precision measuring instruments.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, organizational, and written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to use computers, electronic production-record systems, and Microsoft Office or Google Workspace applications.

Responsibilities

• Create, modify, and maintain CNC programs using Mastercam or comparable CAD/CAM software for aluminum-tooling and composite-trimming operations.
• Translate engineering drawings, CAD models, specifications, work instructions, and GD&T requirements into safe, repeatable, and efficient machining processes.
• Determine tooling, workholding, machining sequences, feeds, speeds, stepovers, depths of cut, and toolpaths with input from Engineering and Production as appropriate.
• Simulate and verify programs to identify collisions, overtravel, gouging, excess material, or other risks before release to production.
• Develop and maintain setup sheets, tool lists, workholding instructions, program notes, and other documentation needed for consistent execution.
