Job Scope & Responsibilities:
CNC Program Development
- Create, modify, and optimize CNC programs for milling, turning, and other machining operations using CAD/CAM software (e.g., Mastercam, Hypermill, SolidCAM, Fusion 360).
- Interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, and technical specifications to determine machining processes and requirements.
- Select appropriate cutting tools, speeds, and feeds for efficient and accurate machining.
Machine Setup & Optimization
- Support machine setup and first-piece run to ensure program accuracy and part quality.
- Troubleshoot and resolve machining or programming issues to improve productivity and minimize downtime.
- Work with machinists and engineers to optimize cutting parameters and reduce cycle time.
Quality & Precision Control
- Ensure all programs meet dimensional accuracy, tolerance, and surface finish requirements.
- Conduct test runs and verify part conformance using precision measuring instruments (e.g., micrometers, CMM, calipers).
- Implement process improvements to enhance product quality and consistency.
Documentation & Maintenance
- Maintain program libraries, tool lists, and setup sheets in an organized manner.
- Ensure compliance with ISO/quality management system standards.
- Keep CNC machines and software updated and in good working order.
Collaboration & Continuous Improvement
- Coordinate with design, production, and quality teams to support manufacturing projects.
- Provide technical input on design for manufacturability (DFM).
- Participate in continuous improvement activities, including automation and process standardization
Requirements:
- Diploma or Degree in Mechanical / Manufacturing Engineering or related field.
- Minimum 2-3 years of CNC programming experience in precision manufacturing.
- Proficient in CAD/CAM software and G-code programming.
- Strong understanding of machining processes, tooling, and materials.
- Detail-oriented, analytical, and able to work independently.
