CNC Lathe Programmer

Create CNC programs and setup instructions using engineering models, drawings, and specifications to support efficient machining operations with zero defects. Select program routines with the latest cutter technologies for the most efficient machining methods for each part. Will be involved in the development of new cutting technologies, first article inspections, fixture designs, and supporting the daily programming needs using Siemens NX CAM and or Master Cam.

Essential Functions

• Analyze engineering models/drawings to define the sequence of machining operations to ensure that the design intent and component quality is achieved. 

• Make proper cutting tool selections, taking into consideration such factors as materials, speeds, type of cutters, feeds and control system limitations. 

• Use machine simulation and optimization software to troubleshoot/validate CNC programs and ensure highly efficient and % defect-free FTT machining processes...
