The CNC Programmer will utilize cad-cam programming software for CNC machines such as lathes, grinders and mills to cut and finish different materials. The programmer will also ensure the programs are written with the newest tooling and toolpath for sufficient removal of material. Continuous improvement minded and eager to change and improve processes.

**Responsibilities

:**

• Analyzes drawings, sketches and design data of part to determine dimension and configuration of cuts, selection of cutting tools and machine speeds and feed rates.

• Analyzes routings during programming stage and updates processes to ensure CNC machine tools are used to their fullest capability. This must be done using creativity, vision and an organized plan for the future.

• Writes programs utilizing cadcam and 3D program verification software.

• Revises program to eliminate instruction errors or omissions.

• Determines work procedures and expedites workflow.

• Creates standard work documents for CNC machines in regard to tooling and programs.

• Continuous improvement of tooling and programs

• Makes improvements to set up times for a task,

• Simplifies tooling and setup for workers and increases productivity for the client.

• Evaluates completed designs to validate their functions and ensure they successfully reduce time and cost, protecting the margin of our product.

• Monitors programs to make sure they follow blueprint instructions and safely and successfully complete the task.
