CNC Programmer II

Overview

Job/Position Summary
Generally, the CNC Machinist V-Programmer II creates, updates, adjusts, and verifies complex programs; operates numerically controlled machine tools to perform a series of progressive machining operations on work to close and exacting tolerances and finish specifications requiring the highest level of skill in accordance with required specifications while maintaining quality and safety standards. Creates programming instructions, operational data, and machine setup instructions defining and coding tool arrangements, material clamping methods, machine calibrations, and console settings for operations such as bore, mill, drill, face, thread, profiling, and contouring.

Ensures proper dimensions and tolerance levels of product by monitoring malfunctions and out-of-tolerance machining and adjusting programs as necessary to achieve desired results.

Machinist Position Specific Essential Functions

• Performs advanced setup operations, adjusts and verifies programming, and operates numerically controlled machine tools to perform a complex series of progressive machining operations on a diversified line of work to close and exacting tolerances and finish specifications requiring an extremely high degree of skill, focus, intuitiveness, and machining intellect.
• May be required to operate more than one machine simultaneously.
• Completes customer product requirements as associated with work orders.
• Determines appropriate tooling/gages for part production/inspection.
• Checks parts for conformance to specifications; performs in-process inspections as required to ensure 100% quality product.
• Identifies discrepancies in estimated set up and run times and resolves with Manager.
• Responsible for document and data control of programs, tool lists, and other related data with respect to job packets/travelers.
• Responsible for cleaning and performing general maintenance on equipment as scheduled or required.
• Initiate nonconforming product procedures when necessary.
• Performs other duties as assigned.
• Other General Essential Functions apply.
