A CNC programmer determines the sequence of shaping operations, selects cutting tools, analyzes job orders, drawings, and blueprints, performs necessary calculations, writes or modifies programs, stores them in the database, and ensures machines and programs operate correctly to meet product specifications.
Key responsibilities include developing and improving CNC manufacturing methods, maintaining program databases, supporting cost analyses, designing custom jigs and fixtures, resolving production issues, driving lean initiatives, performing time studies, collaborating with engineering to optimize processes, generating MRP routings, assisting in recruitment, and supporting supervisors to achieve company goals.
- Develop, evaluate, and improve CNC machining methods, processes, and tooling strategies.
- Maintain CNC program and router database for each product by machine type.
- Support cost analyses, justify process/tooling changes, and conduct post‑audits.
- Participate in design and development of custom jigs and fixtures.
- Identify and resolve production issues related to machine setup, tooling, and programming.
- Lead lean manufacturing, cost reduction, and continuous improvement initiatives.
- Perform time studies to assess routing effectiveness, production run, and setup times.
- Collaborate with design engineering and production to optimize manufacturing processes and set standards for efficiency and quality.
- Generate process routings in the MRP system for current and new product introductions.
- Assist in recruiting and selecting shop CNC employees.
- Support production supervisors in achieving company goals.
