What are the responsibilities and job description for the CNC Programmer position at CV-Tek?
Description
We are looking for a skilled CNC Programmer specifically proficient in Autodesk FeatureCAM to support our machining operations. The primary focus of this role is to develop high-quality programs for our fleet of Fanuc-controlled mills and lathes. You will be the bridge between engineering designs and the shop floor, ensuring our manufacturing department runs with maximum efficiency and minimal downtime.
Key Responsibilities
- Feature-Based Programming: Utilize FeatureCAM to create efficient 2D and 3D toolpaths, leveraging feature recognition to streamline the programming workflow.
- Tooling & Workholding: Select appropriate tooling, specialty cutters, and design custom workholding or jigs within FeatureCAM.
- Verification: Run full machine simulations within FeatureCAM to prevent crashes and ensure "right-first-time" production.
- Collaboration: Work directly with operators to fine-tune programs on the floor, adjusting offsets and feed rates for optimized performance.
- Other duties as assigned.
Requirements
Requirements:
- Experience: 3 years of professional experience specifically using FeatureCAM for CNC programming.
- Controller Expertise: Comprehensive understanding of Fanuc-based systems and control architecture.
- Blueprints: Mastery of blueprint reading and GD&T to ensure parts meet tight tolerances (e.g., /- .0005").
- Machining Knowledge: Strong grasp of speeds and feeds for a variety of materials (Aluminum, Stainless, Plastics, etc.).
- Certification: FeatureCAM certification or a degree in Precision Machining is a plus.
