We are seeking a highly skilled CNC Programmer/Operator to join our precision manufacturing team. This dual-role position requires a technical expert capable of taking a project from a digital blueprint to a finished high-tolerance part using both CNC Mills and Lathes.
The ideal candidate possesses deep expertise in Mastercam, a strong mechanical aptitude, and a commitment to maintaining the highest quality standards in a fast-paced production environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Programming: Develop, verify, and optimize 2D/3D toolpaths using Mastercam for 3-axis mills and multi-axis lathes.
- Setup & Operation: Perform full setups, including tool selection, work-holding installation, and establishing offsets on Haas/Fanuc-style controllers.
- Multi-Machine Proficiency: Transition seamlessly between milling and turning centers to meet production schedules.
- Quality Control: Conduct first-article and in-process inspections using precision tools (micrometers, calipers, gauges) to ensure adherence to tight tolerances and GD&T specifications.
- Process Improvement: Refine existing programs to reduce cycle times, extend tool life, and eliminate scrap.
Qualifications
- Experience: 3+ years of professional experience in CNC programming and operation.
- Software: Advanced proficiency in Mastercam is required.
- Technical Skills: Ability to read complex blueprints, understand G-code/M-code, and design custom fixtures.
- Precision: Proven track record of working with tolerances as tight as $\pm 0.0005$".
- Attitude: A problem-solver with a "right-the-first-time" mentality and strong attention to detail.
Why Join Us? We offer a competitive salary, comprehensive benefits package, and a clean, modern shop environment equipped with the latest machining technology. If you are a craftsman who takes pride in precision and efficiency, we want to hear from you. To Apply: Please submit your resume to daniel.hausmann@randstadusa.com
salary: $72,800 - $83,200 per year
shift: First
work hours: 8 AM - 4 PM
education: High School
Responsibilities
- Mastercam Programming: Develop complex 2D and 3D toolpaths for 3-axis mills and multi-axis lathes (including live tooling).
- Blueprint Analysis: Interpret technical drawings and GD&T symbols to determine optimal machining sequences and tolerances.
- Tooling Selection: Choose appropriate cutting tools, feed rates, and spindle speeds based on material properties (e.g., aluminum, steel, titanium).
- Fixture Design: Design and occasionally build custom work-holding solutions to ensure part stability during aggressive machining.
Machine Operation
- Machine Setup: Load programs, set tool offsets, and establish work coordinates (G54-G59) on both Lathe and Mill controllers (Fanuc, Haas, etc.).
- First-Article Inspection: Run the "first-off" part and perform a complete dimensional inspection before proceeding with production.
- Process Optimization: Monitor machine performance and "prove out" programs, making real-time adjustments to code or offsets to reduce cycle times and tool wear.
- Maintenance: Perform routine daily maintenance on machines, including coolant management and chip removal.
