CNC Programmer

CNC Programmer (Mastercam)

Role Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled and detail-oriented CNC Programmer to join our precision manufacturing team. The ideal candidate will be an expert in using Mastercam software to generate efficient, accurate, and safe G-code for our CNC milling and turning centers. You will be the critical link between our engineering designs and the final machined components, ensuring we meet tight tolerances and high-quality standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Mastercam Programming: Create, edit, and optimize 2D and 3D toolpaths using Mastercam software for multi-axis CNC machines (Mills, Lathes, and Mill-Turn centers).
• Blueprint Translation: Interpret complex engineering blueprints, 3D CAD models (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, etc.), and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) specifications.
• Process Optimization: Determine the most efficient machining sequences, calculate optimal feeds and speeds, and select the appropriate cutting tools and fixtures for various materials (e.g., aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, plastics).
• Simulation & Verification: Run thorough digital simulations within Mastercam to verify toolpaths, prevent machine collisions, and minimize material waste before physical production begins.
• Setup & First Article Inspection: Assist CNC Set-up Machinists with initial machine setups, oversee the first article run (dry runs), and troubleshoot any programming or machining issues at the machine control panel.
• Documentation: Maintain organized files of all Mastercam programs, setup sheets, and tooling lists for future production runs.
• Continuous Improvement: Continuously monitor production cycle times and tool wear, refining existing Mastercam programs to improve efficiency and extend tool life.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Experience: Minimum of 1 year of hands-on experience as a CNC Programmer in a precision engineering or manufacturing setting.

• Software Expertise: Advanced proficiency in Mastercam (latest versions preferred). Familiarity with CAD software for minor model adjustments is a strong plus.

• Technical Knowledge:

  • Deep understanding of G-code and M-code programming.
  • Strong knowledge of cutting tool geometries, materials, and applications.
  • Ability to precisely read and interpret complex engineering drawings and GD&T.

• Machine Operation: Prior experience operating and setting up CNC machinery is highly preferred to ensure practical, machine-friendly programming.

• Problem Solving: Strong analytical skills with the ability to troubleshoot complex machining issues on the shop floor.

• Communication: Ability to work collaboratively with machinists, engineers, and quality control inspectors.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary RM3,000 - RM4,000 based on experience.
• EPF/SOCSO, Medical Claim, Performance Bonus, Free Parking
• Opportunities for continuous training and advancement within the company.
