We are looking for a skilled and detail-oriented CNC Programmer to join our manufacturing team. The ideal candidate will be responsible for creating, editing, and optimizing CNC programs to produce high-quality parts and components. This role requires a deep understanding of machining processes, tooling, and materials, as well as proficiency in CAD/CAM software. The CNC Programmer will work closely with engineers, machinists, and quality control personnel to ensure that all parts meet design specifications and production standards.
As a CNC Programmer, you will analyze technical drawings and blueprints to determine the best machining strategy. You will select appropriate tools, speeds, and feeds, and write programs that control CNC machines such as mills, lathes, and routers. You will also be responsible for testing and troubleshooting programs, making adjustments as needed to improve efficiency and accuracy.
In addition to programming, you will support the setup and operation of CNC machines, provide technical guidance to machinists, and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives. You must be able to work independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced production environment.
This position requires strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and a commitment to quality. Familiarity with G-code, M-code, and various CNC controls (e.g., Fanuc, Haas, Siemens) is essential. Experience with 3D modeling and simulation software is a plus.
If you are passionate about precision manufacturing and have a strong background in CNC programming, we encourage you to apply and become a key contributor to our production success.
