CNC Programmer Esprit EDGE 5-Axis Remote

JEP Manufacturing is a precision CNC machine shop near Houston, Texas. We make complex, close-tolerance parts for aerospace, oil & gas and industrial customers. We're hiring an experienced CNC programmer to work remotely with our shop floor team and program our multi-axis machines in ESPRIT EDGE.

Our Machines

- Mori Seiki NT series: 9-axis multitasking turning centers with B-axis milling head, main and sub spindle

- Kitamura horizontal 5-axis machining centers

- Kitamura vertical 3-axis machining centers

Key Responsibilities

- Write CNC programs in ESPRIT EDGE from customer 3D models and 2D drawings for mill-turn, 5-axis and 3-axis work

- Plan the process: operation sequence, setups, work holding, tool selection, and speeds and feeds

- Program B-axis and simultaneous multi-axis toolpaths, and synchronize main and sub spindle work on the Mori Seiki NT machines

- Simulate and verify every program before it goes to the machine, checking for collisions and over-travel, and confirming cycle time

- Make setup sheets and tool lists that the operators can follow

- Optimize programs to cut cycle time, extend tool life and improve surface finish

- Work with machinists over video call or chat to prove out new programs and fix problems

- Help estimate cycle times for quotes

Required Skills

- Hands-on ESPRIT EDGE experience is mandatory. Please describe it in your application.

- At least 3 years of CNC programming experience, including multitasking mill-turn and 5-axis

- Strong knowledge of B-axis mill-turn programming, preferably on Mori Seiki / DMG MORI NT machines

- Experience with horizontal machining centers, 4th/5th axis and tombstone or pallet work

- Fluent in G-code and M-code, able to edit and troubleshoot posted code (Fanuc / MAPPS controls preferred)

- Able to read engineering drawings, including GD&T

- Solid understanding of cutting tools, materials (steels, stainless, nickel alloys, aluminum) and machining strategies

- Good written and spoken English

- Reliable high-speed internet and a computer that can run ESPRIT EDGE

Preferred

- Experience in aerospace or oil & gas parts machining

- Experience editing or tuning ESPRIT post processors

- Familiarity with AS9100 / ISO 9001 documentation
