VMC Programmer

Key Roles and Responsibilities

• 3D Model Interpretation and Creation
• Create and interpret 3D models from files provided in formats like STEP, IGES, or SolidWorks.
• If only a physical sample is provided, take precise measurements and reverse-engineer it into a 3D model using CAD software.
• CNC Program Development
• Develop CNC programs for 3-axis VMC machines using CAM software (e.g., Mastercam, NX, Fusion 360).
• Select appropriate machining strategies based on material, geometry, and finish requirements.
• Setup and Operation
• Set up the VMC machine, including fixture and tool selection based on the job requirements.
• Run the machine and monitor the machining process, making adjustments as needed to achieve specified tolerances and finishes.
• Pre-Machining Process Knowledge
• Understand and perform part preparation such as cleaning, deburring, and marking reference datums.
• Verify raw material specifications and ensure correct stock selection.
• Tooling Expertise
• Select and install correct cutting tools, holders, and workholding devices.
• Optimize tool paths and feeds/speeds for improved cycle times and tool life.
• GD&T Interpretation
• Read and interpret engineering drawings with Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing annotations to ensure part meets design intent.
• Apply GD&T principles during both modeling and inspection stages.
• Post-Machining Process Knowledge
• Check finished parts against dimensional and surface finish requirements.
• Document and report discrepancies or errors in the process.
• Conduct part deburring, cleaning, and any required secondary processes.
• Continuous Improvement & Documentation
• Maintain and update CNC program and process documentation.
• Suggest and implement process improvements to increase productivity, accuracy, and safety.
• Collaboration
• Work closely with design engineers, quality inspectors, and production team members to resolve issues and optimize outcomes.

Desired Experience

• Previous experience as a CNC/VMC Programmer or Machinist (preferably 3-5 years).
• Familiarity with different materials, cutting conditions, and tooling required for various applications.
• Track record of successfully programming and operating 3-axis VMC machines to achieve complex geometries and tight tolerances
