Laser Programmer; CNC Machinery

Laser Programmer creates precise instructions (G-code) using CAD/CAM software to direct computer-controlled machines to cut, shape, and finish materials like metal, plastic, or wood. They interpret engineering blueprints, select tools, determine machine speeds, and optimize production processes. They ensure high-quality parts by testing, debugging, and troubleshooting programs, often conducting initial inspections to meet specifications.

• Program Creation: Write, edit, and maintain complex programs for CNC machines (mills, lathes) using CAD/CAM software.
• Blueprint Analysis: Interpret technical blueprints, drawings, and 3D models to plan the machining process.
• Tooling Selection: Choose the appropriate cutting tools, fixtures, and speeds/feeds to optimize production efficiency and precision.
• Troubleshooting: Analyze and correct errors in programs, adjust tool offsets, and resolve issues during machining.
• Quality Control: Inspect the first-run parts, ensuring they meet engineering specifications using measuring tools like micrometers and calipers.
• Collaboration: Work with engineers and machinists to improve manufacturing techniques.

• Technical Proficiency: Strong expertise in CAD/CAM software (e.g., Mastercam, Fusion 360) and G-code.
• Mathematical
  
  Skills:
  
  Advanced knowledge of algebra, trigonometry, and geometry for calculating dimensions.
• Blueprint Reading: Expert ability to interpret complex technical drawings and GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing).
• Mechanical Aptitude: Deep understanding of machining processes, materials, and machine tool capabilities.
• Education/
  
  Experience:
  
  High school diploma with relevant experience, or a technical certificate/associate degree in machining or engineering.

• Generous benefits package (Medical, Vision, Dental).
• 401K with employer match.
• Accrued Paid Time Off.
• Accrued Paid Sick Leave.
• Opportunities to advance, learn different aspects of the business, be challenged with new tasks, mentored, and grow.
