VTL Programmer

No Sponsorship.

Develop CNC programs for milling and turning machines (specifically VTLs) using blueprints, sketches, and models. Collaborate with operators to select cutting tools, optimize programs, and ensure efficient machine setup and operation.

Essential Job Functions

• Create CNC programs using CAM software (MasterCAM or NX ), with proficiency in either acceptable; MasterCAM is sufficient, while NX is preferred for complex parts.
• Verify post-processed programs for accuracy and compatibility with specific machine tools, primarily Fanuc-controlled VTLs and lathes.
• Troubleshoot design, equipment, and operational issues with engineering and plant teams.
• Design or identify workholding devices, leveraging SolidWorks or NX CAD software for modeling (MasterCAM CAD is inadequate for this).
• Collaborate with process engineers to refine process plans and enhance efficiency.

Work Environment
Controlled office and shop setting; requires PPE (safety shoes, glasses, hearing protection as needed). Weekends may be required for specific projects.
