Boyd Thermal by Eaton - CNC Programmer

About the role

Operates GIBBS computer programming to generate Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) programs used to control CNC machine tools that drill, mill, bore, and perform other machining operations.

Responsibilities

• Analyzes drawings and specifications to determine program input data such as hole sizes, tool sizes, reference points, and direction of machine cutting paths.
• Calculates data such as starting point coordinates (location), size of Fixture Panels, and number of Fixtures per Fixture panel.
• Uses 3D Models to extract part Geometry and create tool paths, including Tool Speeds and Feeds, using GIBBS CAM and manual programming at the machine.
• Keys in additional instructions such as tool size, machine feed and speed rates, and starting point coordinates.
• Names programs using part numbers when possible.
• Sets up machines, cuts fixtures when necessary, and produces the first part to verify program performance and correct dimensions.
• Submits the first article to Quality Control and makes adjustments based on the CMM Report as needed.
• Runs and completes entire production jobs when necessary.
• Ensures all programs and fixtures are error-free so that a CNC Operator can run the parts.
• Creates setup blueprints with instructions for future CNC Operators to set up and run production jobs.

Requirements

• CNC Machinist Associate's degree or equivalent from a two-year college or technical school and a minimum of 2 years of related experience, or a minimum of 2 years of experience programming using Computer CNC Programming Software and 5 years of CNC Machining.
• Ability to read and interpret documents such as safety rules, operating and maintenance instructions, and procedure manuals.
• Ability to write routine reports and instructions.
• Ability to communicate effectively with co-workers and other employees.
• Ability to calculate geometry including angles, bolt circles, circle arcs, speeds, and feeds.
• Ability to work in metrics and convert to decimal equivalents when necessary.
• Ability to solve practical problems and deal with variables in situations with limited standardization.
• Ability to interpret instructions furnished in written, oral, diagram, or schedule form.

Physical Demands

• Regularly required to talk or hear.
• Frequently required to stand, walk, and use hands to finger, handle, or feel.
• Occasionally required to sit.
• Must occasionally lift and/or move up to 50 pounds.
• Requires close vision, distance vision, color vision, depth perception, and ability to adjust focus.

Work Environment

• Regularly exposed to moving mechanical parts.
• Occasionally exposed to vibration.
• Noise level in the work environment is usually moderate.

Location: Lancaster, PA. This is an on-site position.
