NC Programmer
Summary
Creates numerical control (N/C) programs for fabricating CNC machined parts, router parts, and tooling. Day to day involves modeling 2-5 axis cutting paths in CATIA V5/6 or Mastercam, analyzing blueprints and engineering models, and verifying posted code with Vericut before release to the shop.
JOB SUMMARY\:
Provide N/C programs for fabrication of CNC Machined Parts, CNC Router Parts, and Tooling.
JOB RESPONSIBILITIES\:
· Proficiency in CATIA V5/6 and/or Mastercam X7 or newer to model cutting paths and program for 2 to 5 axis machines.
· Analyze blueprints, engineering models, engineer drawings and electronic control tools before programming and compare results with original planning specifications.
· Efficiently program, test, and revise machine cutting paths or settings to optimize production while maintaining quality.
· Effectively balance material removal rates to achieve the best throughput while maintaining part surface requirements and key feature quality levels.
· Selects machine type (2 to 5 axes), tooling requirements (for work holding purposes and part orientation) and cutting tool requirements conducive with the detail material type.
· Reverse engineer parts to create tools and models, models must be thorough and complete to verify safety, usability, and interferences prior to fabrication.
· Ability to meet a provided deadline on time.
· Able to work on a team or independently, communicate effectively and following directions.
· Quote time on parts.
· Ability to train others when needed.
· Work productively with CNC Machine operators to support tool proving efforts.
· Efficiently verify posted program code using a verification software, i.e. Vericut or similar, before releasing program to the shop.
· Implement the latest cutter technology.
