CNC & CAM Programmer II (2nd Shift)

What Will You Do?

• CNC Programming & Validation
• Develop, optimize, and validate CNC machining programs for metal & plastic components.
• Simulate toolpaths to detect and prevent errors before production.
• Ensure CAD programming aligns with manufacturability and process efficiency.
• Recommend cutting tool purchase and catalog accordingly.
• Process Optimization & Material Understanding
• Analyze engineering drawings, BOMs, GD&T, and material properties to refine programming.
• Optimize machining strategies for hard and soft materials.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards, tooling design, and aerospace-level tolerances.
• Collaboration & Troubleshooting
• Required to check prints with design engineering for accuracy and correct information on prints.
• Verifies solid models to prints and red lines back to Engineering.
• Enhance CAD-based programs for production feasibility.
• Recommends fixture requirements.
• Perform machine setup, initial runs, troubleshooting, and post-machining inspections.
• Continuously improve programming strategies and material handling techniques.
