Cnc Programmer

Role & responsibilities :

Programming and Optimization of CNC and VMC Machines (HASS, FANUC, Mitsubishi Control) for Precision Components in Aerospace & Defense Applications

Preferred candidate profile :

• Interpret technical drawings, 3D models, and GD&T to create accurate programs for CNC turning (2-axis) and VMC milling (4th and 5th axis).
• Develop and validate tool paths using CAM software (e.g., Mastercam, Fusion 360, or similar).
• Optimize machining processes for productivity, precision, and minimal material wastage.
• Configure and test programs on machines using HASS, FANUC, and Mitsubishi controls.
• Collaborate with design, quality, and production teams to ensure manufacturability and efficiency.
• Set tooling, fixtures, and work offsets to ensure first-time-right production.
• Troubleshoot and resolve machining issues related to chatter, tool wear, or surface finish.
• Maintain program documentation, version control, and process logs for repeatability and traceability.
• Train operators in the use of new programs and standard operating procedures.
• Ensure compliance with AS9100 or similar aerospace standards and safety protocols.

Competencies Required to Perform the Job Role

• Technical Programming Skills: Proficient in CNC and VMC programming for multi-axis machining using relevant CAM software.
• Problem Solving & Debugging: Strong analytical skills to identify and solve machining issues with precision.
• Attention to Detail: High level of precision in interpreting complex drawings and models.
• Tool & Material Knowledge: Understanding of aerospace-grade metals and machining techniques.
• Process Optimization: Capability to reduce cycle times, improve tool life, and enhance process reliability.
• Communication: Ability to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and document technical work clearly.
• Safety & Compliance: Strong knowledge of industrial safety and aerospace quality standards.
