CNC Programmer

CNC Programmer (Experienced)

A CNC Programmer is responsible for creating, optimizing, and maintaining CNC programs used in the manufacturing of precision components or parts. They work closely with engineers, designers, and machinists to translate engineering drawings and specifications into efficient and accurate machining instructions. CNC Programmers play a crucial role in maximizing machine performance, ensuring quality production, and driving process improvement.

Responsibilities

• Interpret engineering drawings, models, or specifications to determine machining requirements.
• Develop CNC programs using CAM software or manually coding G-code instructions.
• Select appropriate cutting tools, feeds, speeds, and machining strategies based on part geometry, materials, and machine capabilities.
• Optimize programs for cycle time reduction, improved part quality, or increased machining efficiency.
• Verify CNC programs using simulation software or machine-specific simulation tools to ensure accuracy, collision avoidance, and optimal toolpaths.
• Conduct virtual machining simulations to detect potential errors, interferences, or inefficiencies.
• Adjust and refine programs based on simulation results and feedback from machinists or production personnel.
• Collaborate with machinists, tooling specialists, or engineers to determine the most suitable tooling, fixtures, and work holding methods for machining operations.
• Generate setup sheets or instructions for machinists, including tooling lists, setup procedures, and reference points.
• Provide guidance and support during machine setup, ensuring proper tool and workpiece alignment, tool offset verification, and other setup requirements.
• Continuously evaluate and improve machining processes to enhance efficiency, reduce cycle times, and minimize scrap or rework.
• Identify opportunities for tooling improvements, cutting strategies, or machine parameter adjustments to optimize performance.
• Collaborate with engineering and production teams to implement process improvements, including tooling changes, programming enhancements, or automation integration.
