Job Summary:
The CNC Sr Programmer is responsible for the development of machining processes and programs for the manufacturing of products in multiple-axis machining centers. The incumbent will take the lead role in process improvement and cost reductions through productivity improvement and machine time reductions, including tool and new product program testing, primarily with Esprit. The incumbent will be responsible for input into the purchase of new CNC equipment. Primary responsibility includes advanced-level use of Esprit CAM to generate precise toolpaths and automated digital tool sheets from 3D models. Other CAM software proficiency can include the following: (Partmaker, PowerMill, Mastercam, etc.)
Principal Duties and Responsibilities:

• Develop machining processes and programs for the manufacturing of products in multiple-axis machining centers interfacing with tool engineers, manufacturing engineers, development engineers, quality engineers and production personnel through the use of CAD CAM Software. This includes ensuring 100% synchronization of sub-spindles and B-axis movements within the Esprit simulation environment.
• Analyzes part drawings, sketches, and design data to determine dimension and configuration of cuts, selecting cutting tools, and machine speeds and feeds, according to knowledge of machine shop processes. Perform debugging and testing of CNC programs in the machining centers. Utilization of Esprit's Tool Library to select cutting tools and automate speeds/feeds according to validated material files is preferred.
• Develop and maintain CNC programs of multiple-axis machining centers using an advanced three-dimensional programming CAD system.
