Position Description

Duties:
50% - The NC Programmer is responsible for writing new CNC programs, setup instructions, estimating and making changes to existing CNC programs. Will develop, write and maintain NC programs using engineering models, drawings and specifications to support a zero defects machining operations environment. Selects program routines for the most efficient machining methods for each part. Will be involved in the prove out of new technology, first article inspection, fixture design, and day to day programming using Siemens NX CAM.

10% - Analyzes engineering models/drawings to define the sequence of machining operations to ensure that the design intent and component quality is achieved.

5% - Make proper cutting tool selections, taking into consideration such factors as materials, speeds, type of cutters, feeds and control system imitations.

10% - Use machine simulation and optimization software to troubleshoot/validate CNC programs and ensure highly efficient and 100% defect-free FTT machining processes.

10% - Modify existing parts programs for engineering changes or program improvements.

5% - Work closely with Machinists, Quality, Engineering, Management and other team members.

5% - Develop, write and maintain type II probe and logic macros to perform on machine touch probe measuring, fixture updates, cutter offset updates, and part feature data collection.

5% - Participate in knowledge sharing and cross training activity within the NC programming group.
