About The Position

Volt is immediately hiring a CNC Programmer in Irwin, PA. This is a Full-time, Direct Hire opportunity. As a CNC Programmer, you will be responsible for creating, modifying, and maintaining CNC programs using Esprit CAM software. You will develop efficient machining strategies for CNC milling and turning operations, program multi-axis CNC mills, lathes, and turning centers, and generate and optimize tool paths to maximize machining efficiency, quality, and tool life. Additionally, you will create setup documentation, tooling lists, and machining instructions for production personnel, and establish machining processes for new products and engineering changes. You will also analyze part geometry, tolerances, materials, and customer requirements to determine the most effective machining methods, recommend tooling, fixturing, and machining improvements, and continuously improve CNC programming techniques and machining processes. Collaboration with Manufacturing Engineering to implement lean manufacturing and continuous improvement initiatives, and support for prototype, development, and production machining projects are also key aspects of this role. Technical responsibilities include interpreting engineering drawings, blueprints, CAD models, specifications, and GD&T requirements, verifying program accuracy through simulation, testing, and machine prove-outs, and troubleshooting CNC programs, machine setup issues, tooling problems, and machining processes. You will work with machinists and operators to resolve production challenges and improve process efficiency, assist in establishing machining standards and best practices, and support the implementation of new equipment, tooling, and manufacturing technologies.
