Job Description Job Description About the Role: The CNC Programmer plays a critical role in the manufacturing process by developing and optimizing computer numerical control (CNC) programs that guide automated machinery to produce precision parts and components. This position requires translating engineering drawings and specifications into detailed instructions for CNC machines, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and adherence to quality standards. The CNC Programmer collaborates closely with engineers, machinists, and quality control teams to troubleshoot programming issues and implement continuous improvements. By leveraging advanced programming techniques and software, the role significantly contributes to reducing production time and minimizing material waste. Ultimately, the CNC Programmer ensures that manufacturing operations run smoothly, producing high-quality products that meet customer and industry requirements. Minimum Qualifications: Associate degree or technical certification in CNC programming, manufacturing technology, or a related field. Proven experience in CNC programming for milling, turning, or multi-axis machining centers. Proficiency with CNC programming languages such as G-code and M-code. Strong understanding of blueprint reading, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), and machining processes. Familiarity with CNC simulation and CAD/CAM software tools. Preferred Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in manufacturing engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related discipline. Experience with advanced CAD/CAM software such as Mastercam, SolidCAM, or Fusion 360. Knowledge of lean manufacturing principles and continuous improvement methodologies. Certification from recognized industry bodies such as NIMS (National Institute for Metalworking Skills). Experience programming multi-axis CNC machines and robotics integration. Responsibilities: Develop, test, and optimize CNC programs based on engineering drawings and specifications. Collaborate with design engineers and machinists to understand product requirements and manufacturing constraints. Set up and simulate CNC machine operations to verify program accuracy and efficiency before production. Troubleshoot and resolve programming and machining issues to minimize downtime and maintain production schedules. Maintain detailed documentation of CNC programs, revisions, and process parameters for quality control and compliance. Continuously analyze manufacturing processes to identify opportunities for automation and process improvements. Ensure all CNC programming adheres to safety standards and company policies. Skills: The CNC Programmer utilizes technical skills daily to convert complex engineering designs into precise machine instructions, ensuring parts are manufactured to exact specifications. Proficiency in G-code and CAM software enables the programmer to create efficient tool paths that optimize machining time and reduce material waste. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills are essential for troubleshooting programming errors and adapting to changes in production requirements. Effective communication skills facilitate collaboration with cross-functional teams, including engineers and machinists, to align programming with manufacturing capabilities. Additionally, attention to detail and a commitment to quality ensure that all CNC programs comply with safety standards and contribute to the production of high-quality components.
