Cnc Programmer

Job Title: CNC Programmer

Job Description

This role focuses on programming CNC milling machines directly at the control using G and M codes to transform blueprints into finished parts. You will work as a true print-to-part machinist, performing value-added machining on pre-cast underbody automotive components in a high-run, high-production environment. The position requires strong hands-on CNC mill experience, solid print reading skills, and the ability to create and adjust programs from scratch at the machine.

Responsibilities

• Program CNC milling machines directly at the machine using G and M codes (conversational programming) based on engineering blueprints.
• Interpret and translate blueprints into accurate, efficient machining programs to produce high-quality parts from pre-cast underbody automotive components.
• Operate CNC mill machining centers to perform value-added machining, including drilling holes for bearings and pins and performing other material reductions as required.
• Work as a print-to-part machinist, taking responsibility for the complete process from blueprint through finished part.
• Review, test, and refine programs generated by CAM programmers to ensure optimal performance and part quality.
• Perform multiple setups per shift, typically managing 34 setups a day in a high-run, high-production environment.
• Monitor machining operations to maintain quality standards and make adjustments to programs or machine settings as needed.
• Collaborate with team members to maintain efficient workflow and meet production schedules and customer requirements.
• Follow all safety procedures and maintain a clean, organized, and well-functioning work area within a busy manufacturing environment.

Work Environment

The role is based in a busy manufacturing facility dedicated strictly to CNC milling operations and metal machining. The area is well lit and organized to support safe, efficient work. The shop runs high-production machining on pre-cast underbody automotive castings, adding holes for bearings and pins and performing additional material reductions as required. Primary CNC brands in the facility include Vigel, SW, Mazak, and OKK, with controls such as Siemens and Fanuc in use. Mastercam is used by in-house programmers to generate programs, which you will often test and refine at the machine. Available shifts include a first shift from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with work typically including 23 Saturdays per month and only occasional Sundays, which are compensated at double time. The facility incorporates a high level of robotics, reducing operator-related issues and supporting consistent, reliable production.
