Job Title: Sheet Metal Programmer

ROLE:

You will translate our customers’ models and drawings into what our shop needs to produce high-quality parts: correct programs and shop drawings. The scope of your work will be wide. Some days you will be programming dozens of low volume prototype parts, other days you will be chipping away at a complex frame or assembly. Some parts require speed, others creativity, others exacting attention to detail. Each day is different, and you will need to be flexible, willing to work with others closely, and constantly at the ready to problem solve.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

· Create programs using AP100 or Dr. Abe for Amada Punch, Laser, & Punch-Laser Combo.

· Create programs for Amada lasers, Mazak lasers, and Omax waterjets.

· Prepare technical drawings.

· Follow document control protocol in the creation and organizing of programs and drawings.

· Design, develop, and/or source tooling to fab sheet metal parts and frames.

· Manage our Punch Tooling Database.

· Work with the Production dept to improve programs and manufacturing methods.

· Problem solve issues encountered by the Production dept.

· Follow company and Engineering Dept policy and procedures. Not blindly though. Speak up if the process is stupid!

· As with all who work at Inland, help your fellow departments when they get in trouble

QUALIFICATIONS AND SKILLS REQUIRED:

· 3 years’ experience with either AP100US or Dr. Abe

· Strong SolidWorks skills. Able to add tab & keys to assemblies. Able to make drawings. Abel to inspect flat-pattern layouts.

· Basic understanding of the metal manufacturing world including but not limited to, punching, forming, welding, machining, and assembling.

· Strong teamwork, communication, and people skills. Collaborative and inquisitive mindset.

ORGANIZATION’S VALUES AND CULTURE:

We are a $40MM job shop/contract manufacturer established in 1964 that serves the ruthless and uncompromising high-tech Bay Area customer by providing everything they want when they want it. Manufacturing parts in one of the most expensive locations in the country for some of the most demanding customers in existence is not easy. Boring widget shop we are not. We need good, dedicated, engaged team members to keep the dream alive. Apply if that sounds like you.
