Cnc Plasma Programmer information

What is a CNC plasma programmer?

A CNC Plasma Programmer creates and optimizes cutting programs for CNC plasma machines, which use high-temperature plasma to cut metal. They interpret blueprints, select appropriate cutting parameters, and utilize CAD/CAM software to generate toolpaths. Their responsibilities include ensuring precision, minimizing material waste, and troubleshooting any programming or machine issues. This role requires knowledge of metal fabrication, CNC programming, and machine operations to efficiently produce accurate parts.

What does a CNC plasma programmer do?

As a CNC Plasma Programmer, your daily responsibilities include interpreting engineering drawings, creating and optimizing CNC programs for plasma cutting equipment, and collaborating with engineers and operators to ensure design specifications are met. You’ll frequently use CAD/CAM software to design cutting paths and may be responsible for troubleshooting issues with both software and machinery. Attention to detail is essential, as you’ll check your programs for accuracy and make adjustments based on material requirements or production feedback. You'll also interact regularly with shop floor staff to address production challenges and maintain workflow efficiency.

What skills and qualifications are needed to be a CNC plasma programmer?

Success as a CNC Plasma Programmer requires a strong background in CNC programming, CAD/CAM software proficiency, and a keen understanding of metal fabrication processes, often supported by a technical degree or equivalent experience. Mastery of tools such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and CNC control software, as well as knowledge of G-code, is typical, and certifications in manufacturing technology can be advantageous. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective communication are critical soft skills in this role. These competencies ensure precise programming, efficient team collaboration, and high-quality production outputs in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

CNC Plasma Table Operator / Welder-Fabricator

Downtime Rebuild LLC.

Cincinnati, OH

$25 - $35/hr

Full-time

Posted 15 days ago


Job description

Overview

Downtime Rebuild is hiring an experienced Welder-Fabricator who can independently operate a CNC plasma table in our Cincinnati shop.

CNC plasma-table operation is the primary requirement for this position. This is not a training role for someone whose only experience is using a handheld plasma cutter or welding pieces that another employee has already prepared.

The right person can receive a file from engineering, load it into the plasma table, set up the material and cut settings, run the job and produce finished parts. AutoCAD or SolidWorks experience is helpful but not required because our engineers create the drawings.

Responsibilities

- Receive drawing and production files from engineering and load them into the CNC plasma table’s software or controller.

- Verify the part layout, material type, thickness, consumables and cut settings.

- Load and position raw material on the plasma table.

- Independently operate the table from setup through the completed cut.

- Monitor cut quality and make necessary adjustments.

- Perform basic torch, nozzle, consumable and cut-quality troubleshooting.

- Inspect completed parts for accuracy before fabrication and assembly.

- Read blueprints, technical drawings and specifications.

- Fabricate metal components from raw material rather than only welding pre-cut pieces.

- Perform MIG, TIG and stick welding as needed.

- Use grinders, saws, press brakes, measuring tools and other fabrication equipment.

- Maintain a clean and safe work area and keep equipment in good condition.

Required Qualifications

- Hands-on experience independently operating a CNC plasma table in a fabrication or manufacturing environment.

- Ability to clearly explain the steps personally performed from receiving a file through producing finished cut parts.

- Experience loading files, setting up material and cut parameters, operating the table and checking finished parts.

- Metal fabrication and welding experience.

- Ability to read blueprints and technical drawings.

- Ability to use calipers, micrometers, tape measures and other measuring tools.

- Strong attention to detail and commitment to producing quality work.

- Ability to work independently and safely.

Experience that does not qualify

- Handheld or manual plasma-cutting experience without CNC plasma-table experience.

- Only welding parts that another employee cut and prepared.

- Watching or assisting another operator without independently setting up and running the table.

- Experience that would require training on the basic operation of a CNC plasma table.

Preferred Qualifications

- Experience with Lincoln, Torchmate or similar CNC plasma tables.

- AutoCAD or SolidWorks experience.

- Experience with press brakes and other metal-fabrication equipment.

Pay

$25–$35 per hour, based on experience
