CNC Programmer

Finn-Kool • Beloit, KS

133d

About The Position

The CNC Programmer is critical to the job shop’s ability to produce complex, high-precision parts on advanced HAAS and Doosan machines. By leveraging Renishaw probing, high-pressure coolant, and multi-axis capabilities, the programmer ensures efficient production, minimal downtime, and high-quality output. Their expertise supports the shop’s reputation for delivering custom components on time, maintaining competitiveness in a high-mix, low-volume market.

Requirements

• 3+ years of CNC programming in a job shop, with direct experience on HAAS and/or Doosan machines.
• Advanced proficiency in G-code/M-code programming and CAM software.
• Experience with HAAS and Doosan control systems, Renishaw probing, and high-pressure coolant systems.
• Strong understanding of GD&T and ability to read technical drawings.
• Knowledge of CAD software for part analysis.
• Ability to stand for extended periods, work in a noisy shop environment, and occasionally lift up to 25 lbs.

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with multi-axis, live tooling, and sub-spindle operations preferred.
• Familiarity with surface grinding is a plus.
• Associate’s degree or technical certification in CNC programming/manufacturing preferred.
• NIMS CNC Programming, HAAS Certification, Mastercam Certification, or similar credentials preferred.

Responsibilities

• Create G-code and M-code programs for HAAS and Doosan machines, including 3-5 axis mills and lathes with live tooling.
• Use CAM software to generate tool paths for complex geometries, up to 78” part swings and 84” travels.
• Interpret blueprints, CAD models, and GD&T requirements to ensure programs meet precise specifications.
• Simulate programs to verify accuracy, safety, and efficiency, minimizing scrap and tool wear.
• Optimize tool paths for high-pressure through-spindle coolant systems and multi-axis operations to reduce cycle times and improve surface finish.
• Debug programs for issues like out-of-tolerance parts or machine errors, using Renishaw probing for in-process validation.
• Assist machinists with setups on HAAS and Doosan machines and provide setup sheets, tooling lists, and programming notes for efficient changeovers.
• Support operators with real-time troubleshooting on machines.
• Work with machinists to validate programs during first-piece inspections, using Renishaw probes for accuracy.
• Collaborate with engineering to refine designs for manufacturability on specific machines.
• Maintain program libraries and revision records in ERP/MES systems for traceability and repeatability.
• Apply principles to streamline programming and machining processes, reducing setup times and material waste.
• Recommend tooling or fixture improvements for machines.
• Stay updated on HAAS/Doosan control systems and CAM advancements to enhance shop capabilities.
• Ensure programs produce parts meeting ISO 9001:2015 or similar standards, verified through Renishaw probing and quality checks.
• Conduct first-article inspections and address non-conformances with root cause analysis.
• Ensure compliance with safety protocols during programming and machine operation.
