RESPONSIBILITIES:

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

• Program high-complexity parts in Siemens NX CAM, including 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis simultaneous machining operations.
• Create optimized, efficient, and safe tool paths for precision components based on 3D CAD models and engineering drawings.
• Select cutting tools, fixtures, and strategies that maximize machining efficiency and meet tight-tolerance requirements.
• Work closely with the manufacturing lead, manufacturing engineer, and design engineers to ensure manufacturability and process reliability.
• Set up simulation and verification processes to eliminate programming errors before release to the shop floor and record/report any post issues that arise with documentation.
• Optimize cycle times, improve tool life, and reduce machine downtime through continuous evaluation and refinement of programs.
• Develop setup sheets, work instructions, and documentation to support seamless machine setup and first article success.
• Provide direct shop floor support for first runs, debug programs, and adjust tool paths for in-process improvements while completing machine set ups to turn over to the manufacturing lead.
• Participate in DFM (Design for Manufacturability) reviews and recommend design changes to improve machining and reduce cost.
• Maintain version control, program archives, and backup systems to ensure traceability and program integrity.
• Support CNC standardization efforts, process improvement projects, and training of other programmers and machinists.
• As a CNC programmer, shift rotation may be necessary for support.
