CNC Programmer - Aerospace & Defense

SUMMARY

The CNC Programmer will be responsible for creating and documenting an efficient and accurate CNC machining process to meet internal and customer requirements of precision aluminum thermal components for the Aerospace and Defense industries. This is a critical role within the manufacturing team and requires a strict attention to detail as the ability to work in a team environment.

• Review customer and internal drawings to fully understand the requirements and tolerances associated with each necessary component to create a proper machining approach.
• Design all necessary work holding, fixturing and custom tooling in Solidworks or Mastercam to support the CNC machining process.
• Create accurate CNC programs and associated setup documentation for all required work holding and fixturing.
• Create manufacturing drawings for all custom tooling using Solidworks for use by outside tooling vendors.
• Create efficient and accurate CNC programs and associated setup documentation using Mastercam for all CNC operations required to create compliant components.
• Create probing and macro programs as required.
• Create in-process (IP) documents for critical features on each CNC operations.
• Maintain all NC code and associated documentation in directory.
• Support Continuous Improvement and cost reduction efforts through the reprogramming of legacy components to improve overall process quality and reduce cycle times.
• Support CNC Machining during setup and production process for all required CNC program updates.
• Collaborate with other CNC Programmers to develop best practices and innovative approaches to complex machining challenges.
• Collaborate with other technical disciplines such as Manufacturing Engineering and Quality Control to ensure each project is a success.
