CNC Programmer / CNC Machinist (Relocation Assistance)

With safety as the number one consideration, the CNC Programmer is responsible for programming and
producing production and prototype machined products using CNC equipment and utilizing precision
measurement and gaging tools to meet customer requirements.

The ideal CNC Programmer has 10+ years in this field. Medical device industry experience is preferred but not required. It is most important to have a highly experienced CNC Machinist.

Essential Functions / Duties

Production and Process Development

• Accept responsibility for your safety and the safety of others by using safety awareness tools to eliminate unsafe acts and correct unsafe conditions.
• Quote potential work for contract manufacturing (e.g., estimate setup and cycle times, tooling, fixturing, and material requirements, etc.)
• Determining Tooling and Raw Material size requirements for machining processes based on finished product, fixturing, and workholding requirements.
• Purchase tooling to meet product requirements and result in reliable/sustainable machining processes (e.g., mitigate tool breaks and wear)
• Perform CNC programming and troubleshooting, and manufacture standard production and prototypes utilizing solid modeling and CAM software.
• Manage CNC programs (e.g., saving current version, transferring it to machines, controlling updates/revisions to the master copy, etc.)
• Manage tooling/fixturing inventory to assist with setup reduction efforts (e.g., 5S)
• Sourcing new cutting tools, workholding, auxiliary equipment to reduce cycle time or increase production capabilities (e.g., manufacturing engineering efforts)
• Accountable for the documentation of process sheet instructions, prints, tool lists, and inspection procedures to verify sequence and conformance to requirements.
• Lead the culture of 5S by creating an orderly work area including machining equipment and tooling.
• Resolve machining problems and capture opportunities to achieve the current production schedule.
• Machine parts, fixtures, tooling with manual lathe, mill & grinding to support prototype and standard production.
• Collaborate with Development Engineering to optimize new product design concepts for manufacturability.
• Assist in the implementation of lean manufacturing techniques to support a culture of continuous improvement.
• Utilize precision measuring and gauging tools, performing required inspections before, during and after machining.
• Monitor machining operation to detect malfunctions or out of tolerance machining and adjust machine controls as required.
• Perform preventative maintenance checks before, during, and after operations on machine centers.
• Visually inspect small tools and tooling kits to ensure correct tooling, sequence of use and tool offsets.
• Support the implementation of SPC to ensure that machines and processes are operating predictably.
• Understanding engineering drawings, especially orthopedic medical device implants and instruments.
• Understand tolerance range by interpreting geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) design specifications to optimize machine fixturing and programming.
• Vigilance in observation of and analysis of potentially hazardous conditions in the areas of production.
• Documentation of “fail safe” attributes of products and processes.

Recommended Education / Experience

• Education: 2-year associate degree in CNC or equivalent technical discipline preferred
• Experience: 10+ years of CNC programming experience with Medical Device Implants and Instruments (or equivalent) preferred
• Proficiency in CNC Machine tool platforms ex: Tsugami Swiss Lathe with Fanuc Controller, 5-axis milling on various platforms (HAAS Minimill, VF-1, VF-2SS, Okuma M560-V; Fanuc Robodrill)
• Thorough understanding of production and product development regulations;
• Proficiency in CAD and CAM software, quality control processes, and MS Office applications.
