Job Title: CNC Programmer Position Summary We are seeking a detail-oriented CNC Programmer to translate 3D models and technical drawings into high-quality machine code. You will be responsible for selecting the right tooling, determining the most efficient cutting paths, and ensuring that our CNC machines produce parts that meet rigorous precision standards. Core Responsibilities Program Development: Create G-code and M-code programs using CAD/CAM software (e.g., Master CAM) for multi-axis machines. Process Optimization: Analyze blueprints and 3D models to determine the most efficient sequence of operations, tool selection, and feed/speed rates. Simulation & Validation: Run virtual simulations to identify potential tool collisions or errors before the program hits the shop floor. Setup Collaboration: Work closely with CNC Operators to troubleshoot "first-run" parts and adjust programs for optimal performance. Quality Control: Ensure all programmed parts meet tolerances—often within microns—using precision measuring tools like calipers, micrometers, and CMMs. Technical Requirements Education: Be / BTech / Diploma; Degree/Certification in Precision Machining or Mechanical Engineering preferred. Experience: 5–6 years of experience in CNC programming (Lathes, Mills, or 5-axis centers). Software Proficiency: Expert-level knowledge of CAD/CAM (Master CAM) software and a strong grasp of manual G-code editing. Mathematical Skills: High proficiency in geometry and trigonometry to calculate tool paths and angles. Knowledge: Deep understanding of metallurgy and how different materials (Aluminum, Titanium, Steel, Plastics) react to various cutting speeds. The Ideal Candidate Problem Solver: You don't just find a mistake; you figure out if it’s a software bug, a tool wear issue, or a material flaw. Safety Conscious: You treat high-speed machinery with the respect it deserves. Precision-Obsessed: You believe "close enough" is never good enough when it comes to tolerances. Requirements Requirements Requirements Basic Skill SET 1 Reading and interpreting technical drawings and design models. 2 Creating 3D models / Stage model / Bar-stock / Program Structure NX modelling. 3 3D Model and Engineering drawing Verification and Validation 4 Proficient with GD&T both ASME Y14.5 1994 and ASME Y14.5 2009 requirements. 5 Fixture Concept / Conceptual Planning 6 CNC Machine Knowledge 2, 3, 4 & 5 axis machines 7 Cutting tool selection / Creation of drawings and models.
