About The Position

This position is for 1st shift CNC programming and shop support / development. The role focuses on VTL and 5-axis mill (3+2 & 5-simultaneous) programming, providing process development and support for large-format machining operations.

Requirements

4+ years of experience with graphical-based CAM System CNC Programming.

Nice To Haves

Siemens NX CAM experience is preferred.
Experience creating 5-axis CNC programs using a CAM system (preferably NX).
Minimum of 1+ years of experience with high-level machine tool controls including sub-routine (macro), Renishaw probing routines, variable-based programming, and Closed Loop Machining (CLM).
Significant hands-on background as a machinist, with the ability to setup and prove out complex first-piece programs.
A track record of managing tight tolerances on large-format equipment (VTLs/VBMs up to 2.5m) where part deflection, work hardening, and thermal stability are critical factors.
Extensive experience machining nickel-based superalloys (Inconel, Rene, Hastelloy, etc.) common in Heavy Duty Gas Turbine (HDGT) or Aerospace industries.
Strong problem-solving and organizational skills, with above-average shop math skills in geometry and trigonometry.
Experience using Vericut or other CNC verification and machine simulation software.
Strong familiarity with multiple machine controls including Fanuc, Haas, Okuma, and Siemens.
Demonstrated proficiency interpreting drawing requirements.
Ability to multitask and productively manage multiple projects concurrently.

Responsibilities

Program, develop processes, and provide shop support for large VTL (up to 2.5m), large VBM (up to 2.5m), large head-head Gantry 5-axis, or large vertical multi-purpose turn/grind equipment.
Generate and maintain CNC programs utilizing NX-CAM or other software, including multi-axis milling, turning, grinding, and/or EDM.
Verify new CNC programs prior to release on the shop floor utilizing Vericut.
Incorporate on-machine probing using Renishaw cycles for part and process validation, including error trapping.
Create programs following standards and qualified machining parameters.
Provide CNC-related support to Manufacturing Engineers and provide operator training during new or rebuilt machine startup and process improvements.
Provide daily operator support in the form of CNC programming and troubleshooting support to the shop floor.
Support and implement tooling and fixturing requirements associated with CNC machine tools.
Generate and support workstation instructions (methods) for CNC-related issues.
Initiate and lead process improvement projects to improve safety, quality, cost, and delivery.
Provide effective communication to appropriate team members when needed.
Work effectively as an individual and in a team-based environment within a matrixed organization.
Work effectively in a fast-paced environment while embracing and driving positive change inside and outside the organization when appropriate.
