The ideal candidate will have strong hands-on experience programming CNC mills and lathes, setting up machines, selecting tooling, determining speeds and feeds, reading blueprints and GD&T, and troubleshooting machining issues. This position requires someone who understands the complete machining process from reviewing a blueprint and developing the program to setting up the machine, proving out the program, and producing a finished part that meets quality requirements. Duties Develop, write, modify, and optimize CNC programs for CNC mills and CNC lathes. Program machines using G-code, conversational programming, and/or CAM software. Program and support various CNC controls, including Fanuc, and similar systems. Read and interpret blueprints, engineering drawings, schematics, GD&T, and machining specifications. Determine the proper machining sequence, tooling, workholding, speeds, feeds, and cutting parameters. Set up CNC mills and lathes for production and first-piece runs. Install and align fixtures, vises, chucks, workholding devices, cutting tools, and raw materials. Verify and simulate programs and toolpaths before production to identify potential errors or interference. Perform program prove-outs and first-piece inspections. Make necessary program, tooling, offset, and machine adjustments to achieve required dimensions and tolerances. Perform precision measurements using micrometers, calipers, bore gauges, height gauges, and other inspection equipment. Troubleshoot programming, tooling, setup, machine, and part-quality issues. Make offsets and adjustments to compensate for tool wear and material variation. Monitor machining processes to maintain consistent quality and productivity. Optimize existing programs to improve cycle times, tool life, efficiency, and part quality. Identify opportunities to reduce scrap, rework, and machine downtime. Maintain accurate CNC programs, setup sheets, tooling information, and production documentation. Work closely with machinists, quality personnel, engineering, and production management to resolve manufacturing issues. Assist machinists and operators with programming and setup questions as needed. Skills Proficiency in CNC programming languages specific to Fanuc control systems. Strong knowledge of CAD software such as SolidWorks or AutoCAD for engineering CAD design and schematic interpretation. Experience with CAM software for toolpath generation and machining simulation. Mechanical knowledge including blueprint reading, geometric dimensioning & tolerancing (GD&T), and mechanical blueprint interpretation. Familiarity with electrical discharge machining (EDM) processes is a plus. Ability to operate measurement tools like calipers, micrometers, bore gauges, micrometers, and coordinate measuring machines (CMM). Understanding of manufacturing processes involving CNC lathe and milling machines in metal machining environments. Knowledge of lean manufacturing principles to streamline operations effectively. Strong math skills essential for precise measurement calculations in machining tasks. Experience programming multi-axis CNC machines Mechanical aptitude combined with the ability to interpret schematics and schematics related to tooling setups.
