CNC Milling CAM Programmer

CNC Programming • Create and edit CNC milling programs for precision engineering components. • Program 3-axis and/or 4-axis CNC milling machines . • Develop efficient machining strategies based on part geometry, material, tolerance and production requirements. • Generate and verify CAM toolpaths where applicable. • Perform program prove-out and make necessary program adjustments during machining. • Optimize cutting conditions, toolpaths, feeds and speeds to improve productivity and tool life. • Minimize machining time while maintaining dimensional accuracy and surface finish. Manufacturing & Process Planning • Study engineering drawings, 3D models and customer specifications. • Determine machining sequence, workholding method, datum references and tooling requirements. • Select appropriate cutting tools, inserts, holders and workholding equipment. • Prepare setup sheets, tool lists and machining instructions. • Identify potential machining issues before production. • Work closely with machinists and production personnel to ensure smooth job execution. • Support development of repeatable and standardized machining processes. Quality & Inspection • Ensure machined components meet drawing specifications and customer requirements. • Understand and work to tight dimensional and geometric tolerances. • Support first-off inspection and dimensional verification. • Troubleshoot dimensional, surface-finish and machining problems. • Work with the QC team to resolve quality issues and implement corrective actions. Production Support • Provide technical support to CNC machinists during setup and production. • Troubleshoot machining problems such as chatter, tool breakage, burrs, dimensional variation and poor surface finish. • Improve existing programs and processes for recurring jobs. • Assist with estimating machining time and tooling requirements for new jobs when required. • Maintain proper documentation and revision control of CNC programs. Requirements • Minimum 3 years of relevant CNC milling programming experience . • Strong knowledge of CNC milling machining processes. • Able to read and understand engineering drawings and GD&T .
