Location: Rivalta di Torino

Job Description Summary
At Avio Aero, a GE Aerospace company, we invent the future of flight, lift people up, and bring them home safely. We are a world-leading provider specializing in the design, production, and maintenance of components and propulsion systems for both civil and military aviation. Respect for people is core to our culture and part of our commitment to FLIGHT DECK, GE Aerospace’s proprietary lean operating model.

We attract, develop, and retain industry-leading talent and cultivate communities where people are respected and empowered to reach their fullest potential. For the people of Avio Aero, their work isn’t just a job, it’s their passion and purpose. We were meant to fly.
As a CNC Programmer, you will be responsible for studying, defining, writing, testing, optimization and approval of CAM programs for the production of aluminum, magnesium and steel parts on CNC machines.

Job Description
Essential Responsibilities

Receive input documentation from a manufacturing engineer and verify the producibility of the parts using the selected machine (typically 5-axis machining centers)
Define the machining strategies together with the manufacturing engineer, the fixtures and cutting tool with specialists, identifying the machine to be used, the number of operations and the material removal phases, the type of machining (drilling, tapping, milling, boring, etc.) most suitable for the dimensional specifications of the part
Define, with the support of the tool specialist, the set of cutting tools necessary for machining the parts, starting and managing the tool acquisition and selection process
Support the equipment specialist in defining the types of fixtures, also with definition of whole machining operations related to the clamping and referencing of the part; in reference to this, defines the best probing strategies for zeroing and referencing the part inside the machine and obtaining the best dimensional results
Design CNC programs using CAM systems such as Unigraphics NX or similar and simulating with software such as Vericut, starting from the probing process, to roughing operations, up to finishing operations of the part, in the best respect of the dimensional requests and optimization of processing times
Plan the validation and testing activities of the machining programs, from testing on the selected production machines, to inspections of the parts, until reaching the desired conformity on the parts (and/or process statistics)
Update the process documentation, relating to CNC programs, tools, etc. on the specific Avio Aero repository areas, to make it available for consultation in production
Support the Avio Aero continuous improvement process, which takes place in the pillars S (safety), Q (quality), D (delivery), P (productivity and cost), acting directly in the analysis for root causes of failures, identification of adequate countermeasures and implementing them
Support the technological improvement of the area in which you operate and of the technological pyramid in which your actions will be inserted, both by directly leading projects for the introduction of new technologies, or by supporting those already started

Qualifications/Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Aeronautical Engineering or a high school diploma in Mechanical or Mechatronics or Aeronautical with solid experience in a production engineering and/or CNC machine programmer role
Ability to read mechanical engineering drawings and technical specifications (norms, procedures, international standards, etc.)
Knowledge of 3D modeling software of the most typical parts involved in a manufacturing process: cutting tools, clamping devices, to perform machining processes on aluminum, magnesium, and steel parts

Experience with CAM creation software, such as Unigraphics NX or similar, in which operationally create the part’s machining project, step by step, to obtain the complete sequence of material removal operations with the defined tools
Good use of simulation software, such as Vericut, to simulate the feasibility of the previously created CAM and verify the absence of unwanted collisions in the machine with the…
