NC Programmer Tooling
Posted
Summary
Writes and optimizes N/C programs for 2–5 axis CNC machined parts, router parts, and tooling, using CATIA V5/6 or Mastercam to model cutting paths, then verifies posted code with software like Vericut before releasing programs to the shop in Wichita.
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.
