On our team, a successful CNC Programmer develops & implements programs on-site that control our Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine tools to manufacture precision parts according to customer specification. This involves creating G & M code instructions for the machine tools, selecting appropriate tooling & fixturing, & optimizing the machining processes; i.e. speeds, feeds, step-overs, etc. They work with everything from customer sketches to detailed engineering drawings, using either CAD/CAM software &/or manually created G & M code programs as well as other available data to ensure all parts are produced accurately & efficiently.

TECHNICAL SKILLS:

Strong understanding of CNC programming, G code, CAD/CAM software, & machining principles.

MATHEMATICAL SKILLS:

Proficiency in shop trigonometry, algebra, & other mathematical concepts relevant to machine tool programming.

PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS:

Ability to troubleshoot process issues, optimize processes, as well as adapting to ever changing customer requirements.

COMMUNICATION SKILLS:

Ability to effectively communicate with team members & other stakeholders regardless of race, religion, orientation of any nature as well as widely varied skill sets to ensure optimal efficiency & safety throughout the shop, as well as professionally communicating with customers occasionally as needed.
