CNC Programmer

About the role

CNC Programmer role involving creation, modification, and optimization of CNC programs for 3-axis and 5-axis CNC milling and other machining operations using CAD/CAM software such as Hypermill and SolidCAM.

Key responsibilities

• Create, modify, and optimize CNC programs for 3-axis and 5-axis CNC milling and other machining operations using CAD/CAM software (e.g., Hypermill, SolidCAM)
• Interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, and technical specifications to determine machining processes and requirements
• Select appropriate cutting tools, speeds, and feeds for efficient and accurate machining
• Support machine setup and first-piece run to ensure program accuracy and part quality
• Troubleshoot and resolve machining or programming issues to improve productivity and minimize downtime
• Work with machinists and engineers to optimize cutting parameters and reduce cycle time
• Ensure all programs meet dimensional accuracy, tolerance, and surface finish requirements
• Conduct test runs and verify part conformance using precision measuring instruments (e.g., micrometers, CMM, calipers)
• Maintain program libraries, tool lists, and setup sheets in an organized manner
• Coordinate with design, production, and quality teams to support manufacturing projects

About you

• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, and technical specifications
• Knowledge of cutting tools, speeds, and feeds for efficient and accurate machining
• Experience with precision measuring instruments (e.g., micrometers, CMM, calipers)
• Familiarity with ISO/quality management system standards
• Ability to provide technical input on design for manufacturability (DFM)
