Synectics
Responsibilities:
Create, modify, and optimize CNC programs using Esprit CAM for 4-axis horizontals, 5-axis milling, and mill/turn operations (e.g., Okuma Multus, DN-SMX, DMG MORI NTX). Perform CNC machine setups and collaborate with operators to ensure program accuracy. Interpret engineering blueprints, technical drawings, and GD&T specifications. Design custom workholding fixtures and select appropriate tooling for each job. Support first-article inspections and adjust cycle times as needed. Collaborate with engineering and production teams to improve manufacturability and reduce cycle times. Assist in RFQ processes by reviewing customer drawings and estimating setup and machine time. Provide training and technical support to CNC programmers and setup machinists. Maintain accurate documentation and revision control for CNC programs and tooling. Troubleshoot programming and process inefficiencies. Contribute to continuous improvement efforts in the CNC department. Perform other duties as assigned. Skills & Experience:
Proficiency in Esprit CAM software (required). Strong understanding of G-code/M-code, SolidWorks, and other CAD/CAM tools. Familiarity with Siemens, Okuma, and Fanuc controls . Ability to interpret blueprints/models and determine tooling, speeds, and feeds. Solid math skills, including geometry and trigonometry. Excellent problem-solving abilities and attention to detail. Effective communication skills and ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams. Education & Certification:
Completion of a machinist training program or associate degree in machining, manufacturing technology, or related field preferred. Esprit or CNC programming certification is a plus.
