CNC Programmer

About the role

The CNC Programmer at fab2 is crucial for driving down the cycle time of manufacturing processes. With a focus on reducing the cycle time from 45 minutes to 20 minutes per part, this role involves programming 5-axis VMCs and mill-turn lathes, developing probing routines, and ensuring DFM feedback to the design team.

Responsibilities

• CAM programming for 5-axis VMC and mill-turn lathe work using Mastercam, Fusion 360, or HSMWorks
• Toolpath strategy for stainless and aluminum semiconductor-grade parts
• Probing routines for in-process inspection
• Tool library, tool-life tracking, and offset management at the Zoller presetter
• Pallet-pool lights-out programs for the UMC fleet
• DFM feedback to the design team
• Process documentation that survives operator turnover

Requirements

• 4+ years CNC programming, including 2+ years on 5-axis
• Strong fluency in Mastercam, Fusion 360, or HSMWorks
• Native Haas control (or comparable Fanuc/Siemens)
• GD&T fluency, comfortable reading drawings to spec
• Documented track record of improving part families' cycle times

Nice-to-Have

• Trunnion-mount 5-axis programming
• Pallet-pool / lights-out experience (Fastems or similar)
• Mill-turn programming on DS-30Y class machines
• Semiconductor, aerospace, or medical-device part background
• Mastercam Multi-Axis or HSMWorks Adaptive Clearing certification
