• Determine the sequence of cutting parameters using best practices and templates to select the proper cutting tool paths/strategies needed to machine work pieces, considering work holding techniques (i.e. fixtures, vises, etc.)
• Revise programs to eliminate errors and re-validate programs to check that problems have been solved.
• Analyze job orders, drawings, blueprints, specifications, and design data to calculate dimensions, tool selection, machine speeds, and feed rates.
• Determine reference points, machine cutting tool paths, or hole locations, and compute angular and linear dimensions, radii, and curvatures.
• Observe machines on first runs and/or conduct computer simulations/verifications to ensure that programs and machinery will function properly and produce items that meet the customers specifications.
• Compare programs or computer printouts with original part specifications and blueprints to verify accuracy of instructions.
• Generate programs in the language of a machine's controller or on CAM system and store programs on company network drives according to SOP. This will include working with a server-based DNC system or a manual program transfer system.
• Optimize existing programs as needed and working with the machine tool operators directly to fix and improve program function.
• Utilize the Companies Internal Info-share to store or retrieve parts patterns, graphic displays, or programs that transfer data to other media.
