CNC Programmer

Operates GIBBS computer programming to generate CNC programs used to control CNC machine tools that drill, mill, bore, etc.

Responsibilities:

• Analyses drawings and specifications to determine program input data such as hole sizes, tool sizes, reference points, direction of machine cutting paths.
• Calculates data such as starting point coordinates, size of fixture panels and number of fixtures per fixture panel.
• Using 3D models extracts part geometry to create tool paths as well as tool speeds and feeds using GIBBS CAM and manually programs on the machine.
• Keys in additional instructions such as tool size, machine feed and speed rates, starting point coordinates.
• Names the program using part number when possible.
• Sets up machines, cuts fixtures when necessary and produces the first part to verify program performance and correct dimensions.
• Submits the first article to Quality Control and makes adjustments when necessary from the CMM report.
• Runs and completes the entire production job when necessary.
• Ensures all programs and fixtures are error‑free so that a CNC operator can run the parts.
• Develops setup blueprints with instructions for future CNC operators.

Qualifications:

• CNC machinist associate’s degree or equivalent from a two‑year college or technical school and a minimum of 2 years of related experience, or a minimum of 2 years experience programming using computer CNC programming software and 5 years of CNC machining.
• Ability to read and interpret documents such as safety rules, operating and maintenance instructions, and procedure manuals.
• Ability to write routine reports and instructions.
• Ability to communicate effectively with co‑workers and other employees.
• Ability to calculate geometry including angles, bolt circles, circle arcs, speeds and feeds; ability to work in metrics and transfer to decimal equivalents.
• Ability to solve practical problems and deal with a variety of concrete variables in situations with limited standardization; ability to interpret instructions in written, oral, diagram, or schedule form.

Physical Demands:

• The physical demands include regular requirements to talk or hear, stand or walk, and use hands to finger, handle or feel. Occasionally sit.
• Must lift or move up to 50 pounds.
• Vision needs include close vision, distance vision, color vision, depth perception, and ability to adjust focus.

Work Environment:

• Regular exposure to moving mechanical parts.
• Occasionally exposed to vibration.
• Noise level usually moderate.
