Horst Engineering
Overview
The CNC/CAM Programmer role is an important member of our programming and engineering team supporting production of precision aerospace components. This role acts as the liaison between Engineering and Manufacturing (Operations) teams. You will focus on process development and programming of CNC equipment including multi-axis lathes, splitting time between programming in a CAM environment and performing hands-on set-up on the production floor. Major Areas of Responsibility
Utilize ESPIRT CAM software to develop CNC programs (G-code) that optimize manufacturing methods for precision and ultra-precision components. Collaborate with Engineering & Manufacturing teams to develop manufacturing processes, tooling & work-holding, in-process deburring and metrology; document selections in ESPIRT tooling and datasheet libraries. Leverage parametric programming, macros, and CAM software to optimize programs across a family of parts. Set-up and operate production equipment during initial process development of new parts. Determine ideal set-up, tool paths, material removal rates, finish, and yield. Train production personnel for a smooth transition to mass production and reproducibility. Manage programs and machine & tool setup data within the companys Product Data Management (PDM) and Distributed Numerical Control (DNC) systems. Serve as in-house subject matter expert, participating in lean events to optimize released products, reduce set-up time, reduce machine time, and improve productivity and quality. Stay updated on latest manufacturing technology through research of equipment, software, tooling, and gaging systems. Make recommendations on productivity improvements related to technology investments. Miscellaneous duties as assigned. Requirements
Progressive on-the-job experience commensurate with a degree if considered. Five or more years of advanced manufacturing experience, preferably in a precision or ultra-precision machining environment. Expert knowledge of CNC programming (Fanuc, Mitsubishi, Okuma) using advanced techniques. Frequent user of CAM software; ESPIRT preferred. Other options such as Mastercam, PartMaker, or SolidCAM are acceptable. Familiar with operating manufacturing enterprise software; EPCIOR or similar experience is a bonus. Strong knowledge of work-holding, tooling systems and CNC machine setup. Physical Demands
