• Manage multi-pallet systems and automatic pallet changers (APC) to maximize machine uptime and facilitate continuous manufacturing.

• Inspect precision parts using micrometers, calipers, height gauges, bore gauges, and thread gauges.
• Interpret complex blueprints and engineering drawings with strict GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerance) callouts.
• Maintain tolerances as tight as +/- .001.
• Perform daily PMs (preventative maintenance) on HMC machinery, keeping the controller, fluid levels, and workspaces clean and operational.

• Experience: Minimum of 3-5 years of experience setting up and operating CNC Horizontal Machining Centers.
• Controls: Expert proficiency navigating, troubleshooting, and editing on Fanuc series controls ,( Fanuc 31i, 0i-F, etc.).
• Programming: Competency in manually writing and modifying Fanuc G-code/M-code.
• Tooling: Expert knowledge of cutting tool speeds, feeds, and material machinability (aluminum, steel, brass).
• Mathematics: Strong shop math skills, including trigonometry and spatial reasoning.

• Ability to lift up to 50# regularly.
• Ability to stand, bend, and reach for extended periods during an 8-to-12 hour shift.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced machine shop environment (exposure to noise, lubricants, and metal chips).

 CNC Programmer – Horizontal/Vertical Machining Centers (HMC/VMC)

We are seeking a highly skilled and detail-oriented CNC Programmer specializing in Horizontal Machining Centers (HMC) to join our manufacturing team. In this role, you will be responsible for creating, optimizing, and maintaining CNC programs that drive our multi-axis horizontal mills. You will work closely with machining operators, manufacturing engineers, and quality teams to ensure maximum efficiency, tool life, and part accuracy for complex, high-precision components.

Key Responsibilities

• Program Development: Write, edit, and optimize 3-axis, 4-axis, and multi-axis CNC programs for Horizontal Machining Centers using Master Cam /Solidworks CAD/CAM software.
• Process Setup & Planning: Define operational sequences, select appropriate cutting tools, calculate optimal speeds and feeds, and design fixture/work-holding layouts.
• Tombstone & Pallet Optimization: Maximize HMC efficiency by programming multi-part setups on tombstones and managing pallet changer schedules.
• Simulation & Verification: Run thorough G-code simulations to verify toolpaths, eliminate errors, and strictly prevent machine collisions.
• First-Article Inspection (FAI): Prove out new programs on the shop floor, collaborating with operators to troubleshoot the first run and secure quality sign-off.
• Continuous Improvement: Review legacy programs to reduce cycle times, minimize scrap, and implement advanced high-speed machining techniques.

Required Qualifications & Skills

• Experience: Minimum of 3–5 years of dedicated CNC programming experience specifically targeting Horizontal Machine Tools.
• CAD/CAM Proficiency: Advanced expertise in industry-standard software such as Mastercam, Soildworks
• G-Code Mastery: Deep understanding of G-code and M-code language, with the ability to edit programs manually at the machine control if necessary.
• Control Systems: Familiarity with major CNC controls, such as Fanuc and Haas
• Technical Blueprint Reading: Exceptional ability to interpret complex engineering drawings, GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) symbols, and technical data sheets.
• Precision Measurement: Proficient with precision inspection tools (micrometers, calipers, height gauges) to verify part dimensions against CAD models.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience programming of pallet systems
• Experience machining a variety of materials, ranging from aluminum, Brass and other metals
• Associate degree or technical certification in CNC Machining, Manufacturing Technology, or a related field is a plus but not required
