CNC Programmer
Colorado Springs, CO
Description
Develop CNC programs and machining processes for HyperCellX equipment parts. Take drawings and models through CAD/CAM, fixture design, machine setup and first-part inspection, then hand off repeatable processes to production machinists. Run complete batches when the job requires it.
Responsibilities
- Create models, manufacturing drawings, fixtures and tooling using SolidWorks, Fusion 360 and AutoCAD.
- Program Haas CNC equipment for milling and turning, including 5-axis machining.
- Select tooling, feeds and speeds, operation sequences and inspection methods; design and build suitable workholding.
- Check posted code, simulate toolpaths and prove out programs at the machine.
- Make and inspect first parts, document results and correct process issues before production.
- Provide proven programs, setup sheets, tool lists and instructions for production machinists.
- Run batches when needed and improve repeat-production quality, cycle time and tool life.
- Work with engineering and fabrication to resolve drawing questions and improve manufacturability.
Required qualifications
- Demonstrated ability to take a drawing or model through programming, setup, prove-out and production of parts to specification.
- Hands-on experience with Haas equipment, 5-axis milling and CNC lathes.
- Strong CAD/CAM and drafting skills using SolidWorks, Fusion 360 and AutoCAD.
- Practical fixture and workholding design experience, with sound knowledge of milling, turning, tooling and offsets.
- Sound knowledge of tolerances, surface finish and dimensional inspection, and the ability to document and hand off a repeatable production process.
Preferred experience
- Ability to read and edit CNC code by hand when needed and learn machine-specific programming methods.
- Laser-process experience: DXF-driven cutting, simple geometry and path setup for laser welding, and code-driven laser cutting.
- Prototype and small-batch manufacturing.
