Position: 05222 - CNC Programmer Specialist
Pay Rate Range: $38 - $42/hr
1st Shift - (Monday through Friday, 7 am to 3 pm),
(May need to flex their schedule occasionally to support the end of 3rd shift (Sunday through Thursday, 11 pm to 7 am) and/or the start of our 2nd shift (Monday through Friday, 3 pm to 11 pm))
This position does have the ability for overtime as it is a salaried non-exempt position
Ideally, we are looking for someone who has operated the machines themselves and has knowledge of how they run (such as a CNC Machinist who grew / promoted into Programming). Some of the machines we have here include Haas and Mazak. The Programmer will need to be familiar with 5-axis programming. The main software we use is called CREO CAM, but we do have the ability to acquire others if needed, or the candidate can learn ours (experience with our specific software is NOT a deal breaker).
Programmers who have predominantly worked with plastics or injection molding might not be a good fit, but we can still take a look at their full work history.
POSITION SUMMARY
Coordinates complex programming support for machining parts, tools, or sheet metal on numerically controlled machine tools from engineering design stage through the finished part. Ensures parts conform to dimensional specifications and equipment achieves throughput efficiency.
ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS
Provides programming support for machining parts, tools, or sheet metal on numerically controlled machine tools by writing complex programs of machine instructions in symbolic language to encode numerical control tape or direct numerical control database to regulate movement of machine along cutting path. Changes, updates and/or initiates manufacturing processes.Safely and economically produces a part to the manufacturing engineering specification or drawing by selecting proper cutting tools for each part, taking into consideration such factors as speeds, types of cutters, feeds, and control system limitations.Selects program routines for the most efficient computer calculation of dimensional and machining requirements for each part buy computing angular and linear dimensions, radii, and curvatures, and outlining sequence of operations required to machine the part.Determines dimension and configuration of difficult cuts, selection of cutting tools, and machine speeds and feed rates by analyzing drawings, sketches, and design data of part.Coordinates and oversees tape tryouts, including complete follow‑up on all cycle related procedures, documentation and communications. Assures accuracy by comparing encoded tape or computer printout with original program sheet.Shows location of reference points and direction of cutting paths by preparing geometric layout on graph paper or using computer‑assisted drafting software.Modifies existing parts programs for engineering changes or program improvements. Eliminates instruction errors or omissions by revising program.Analyzes proposed changes in methods and materials and contributes to continuous improvement and key lean manufacturing/production activities. Recommends actions by analyzing and interpreting data and making comparative analyses. May lead special projects in applying continuous improvement techniques and implementing changes.Maintains technical knowledge by attending educational workshops and reviewing technical publications.May provide leadership to others in department. Acts as prime contact on high level projects. Establishes goals and objectives required to complete projects. Trains and mentors less experienced employees.Shares specialized knowledge with others.
