Job summary

Jobot in Connecticut seeks an experienced CNC Programmer to develop and optimize high-precision aerospace components. You will create ESPRIT CAM programs for multi-axis lathes and vertical mills, translating engineering drawings into efficient production methods.

The role requires 5+ years in precision machining, strong Fanuc control knowledge, and expertise with CAM tools. You will guide tooling choices, setup processes, and metrology, ensuring mass production readiness and continuous

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering preferred; progressive on-the-job experience commensurate with a degree will be considered.
• Minimum of 5 years of advanced manufacturing experience, preferably in precision or ultra-precision machining environments.
• Expert knowledge of Fanuc controls and strong background in CNC programming using advanced techniques including on-machine probing and tool setters (preferred).
• Proven working experience with CAM software for CNC programming — ESPRIT preferred; Mastercam, PartMaker, SolidCAM, or similar is acceptable (ESPRIT training will be provided).
• Strong knowledge of work-holding, tooling systems, and CNC machine setup.
• Proven ability to translate customer drawings and GD&T into efficient, repeatable manufacturing methods.
• Familiarity with manufacturing enterprise software; experience with Epicor ERP or similar systems is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Serve as a key member of the programming and engineering team, acting as the liaison between Engineering and Manufacturing (Operations) to support production of precision aerospace components.
• Develop CNC programs (G-code) using ESPRIT CAM software that optimize manufacturing methods for producing precision and ultra-precision components on multi-axis lathes and vertical machining centers.
• Collaborate with Engineering and Manufacturing to develop manufacturing processes, preferred tooling and work-holding, in-process deburring, and metrology that become approved production work instructions. Document all selections in ESPRIT tooling and datasheet libraries.
• Leverage parametric programming, macros, and CAM software to optimize programs across families of parts.
• Set up and operate production equipment during initial process development for new parts; determine optimal setups, toolpaths, material removal rates, surface finishes, and yields.
• Train production personnel to ensure smooth transition and reproducibility in mass production.
• Manage CNC programs and machine / tool setup data within the company's Product Data Management (PDM) and Distributed Numerical Control (DNC) systems.
• Serve as an in-house subject matter expert and participate in lean initiatives to optimize released products, reduce setup and machine time, and improve productivity and quality.
