CNC Programmer - Mastercam

Role & responsibilities

• Develop and modify CNC programs using Mastercam for CNC Turning and VMC machining operations.
• Create 2D/3D toolpaths based on engineering drawings, 3D models and machining requirements.
• Prepare programs for various operations such as:
• Turning, facing, grooving, threading, boring and drilling.
• Milling, drilling, tapping, pocketing, contouring and profiling.
• 3-axis VMC machining and complex component machining.
• Select appropriate cutting tools, inserts, holders and machining parameters to achieve required productivity and quality.
• Generate, verify and optimize G-code/M-code programs suitable for specific CNC machine controls.
• Conduct Mastercam simulation and toolpath verification to identify collisions, over-travel, gouging and machining errors before machine prove-out.
• Support first-off component development and prove-out at the machine.
• Modify programs based on trial results, inspection reports and production requirements.
• Optimize existing programs to reduce cycle time, tool consumption and machining cost.
• Interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, tolerances and machining specifications.
• Coordinate with Production, Quality, Tool Room, Design and Engineering teams for smooth component development.
• Maintain proper documentation and revision control of CNC programs and machining data.
• Develop standard programming methods and reusable machining strategies to improve programming efficiency.
• Troubleshoot CNC programming and machining-related issues during production.
• Ensure all programs comply with machine capability, tooling requirements and safety standards.
