job summary:
the cnc/cam programmer role is an important member of our programming and engineering team supporting production of precision aerospace components. this role acts as s the liaison of excellence between engineering and manufacturing (operations) teams. you will focus on the process development and programming of cnc equipment including multi-axis lathes. you will split time between programming in a cam (computer aid manufacturing) environment and performing hands-on set-up on the production floor.
major areas of responsibility:
- utilizing espirt cam software, develop cnc programs (g-code) that optimize the best manufacturing methods to produces precision and ultra-precision components.
- work within the engineering & manufacturing teams to develop manufacturing processes, preferred tooling & work-holding, in-process deburring and metrology that will become the approved work instructions to production team. document all selections in espirt tooling and datasheet libraries.
- leverage parametric programming, macros, and cam software to optimize programs across a family of parts.
- set-up and operate production equipment during the initial process development of new parts.
- determine ideal set-up, tool paths, material removal rates, finish, and yield.
- train production personnel for smooth transition to ensure reproducibility in mass production.
- manage programs and machine & tool set-up data within the company's product data management (pdm) and distributed numerical control dnc systems.
- serve as in-house subject matter expert, participating in lean events to optimize existing released products that can reduce set-up, reduce machine time, or otherwise improve productivity and quality.
- stay in touch with the latest manufacturing technology through the research of equipment, software, tooling, and gaging systems.
- make recommendations on productivity improvements related to technology investments.
- miscellaneous duties as assigned.
requirements:
- bachelor's degree in engineering preferred.
- progressive on the job experience commensurate with a degree considered.
- five or more years of advanced manufacturing experience, preferably in a precision or ultra-precision machining centers.
- expert knowledge of cnc programming such as fanuc, mitsubishi, and okuma controls, using advanced programming techniques.
- frequent user of cam software programs. espirt is preferred. others such as mastercam, partmaker, or solidcam are acceptable.
- familiar with operating with a manufacturing enterprise software - experience with epcior or similar is bonus.
- strong knowledge of work-holding, tooling systems and set-up of cnc machines.
