Summary

CNC Programmer will combine computer skills with manufacturing knowledge to program manufacturing software programs to create machined parts in an efficient, precise process with less waste, increased product consistency, and reduced energy consumption. Determines the sequence of events needed to make a part by reviewing 3-dimensional computer blueprints. They may calculate how fast to feed the metal into the machine or how much metal to remove. Mastercam programmers will use the Mastercam software to then develop code that will be read by a computer-controlled module. The module directs machining tools including lathes or milling machines, which cut and shape pieces and machine parts. This position prepares design and layouts along with investigations of; tools, fixturing, and equipment related to chip forming of metals. Determines complex machining sequence, methods and tooling; develops detailed machining instructions and required shop drawings; utilizes all complex 2-axis N/C programming techniques for machining operations for standardized or special types of work; and implements changes to develop most economical computer assist programs and develops standard programming catalogs.
