CNC Programmer

Brief Description

We are seeking a highly skilled CNC Programmer to join our advanced manufacturing team. In this role, you will be responsible for taking complex medical component designs from concept to production. Using industry-leading CAM software, you will develop, test, and optimize programs for our fleet of precision machines, including, but not limited to, our Nakamura-Tome multi-tasking centers. This is a critical role that supports the launch of new surgical device components used in lifesaving minimally invasive procedures.

• Create high-precision CNC programs from scratch using CAM software (e.g., Mastercam, Esprit) based on 3D models and 2D blueprints.
• Develop efficient manufacturing processes, including selecting appropriate tooling, work holding, and machining sequences for complex geometries.
• Program and synchronize twin-spindle and multi-turret operations to maximize efficiency and maintain tight tolerances.
• Lead the "First Article" process, working closely with the shop floor to prove out programs, troubleshoot issues, and ensure parts meet strict medical-grade specifications.
• Optimize existing programs to reduce cycle times, improve tool life, and ensure repeatable quality.

• Proven track record in CNC programming within a high-precision environment (Medical, Aerospace, or Defense preferred).
• Advanced experience with CAM programming software. Ability to manipulate CAD models for manufacturing. (Esprit preferred but not required)
• Strong understanding of GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) and the ability to interpret complex technical drawings.
• Experience with multi-axis lathes or mill-turn centers. Specific experience with Nakamura-Tome or Fanuc-based controls is a significant plus.
• Ability and willingness to set up and prove out programs at the machine.
• Familiarity with machining medical-grade materials such as Titanium and Stainless Steel (316/17-4).
