Mastercam Programming information

What are some common challenges Mastercam Programmers face when working with complex parts, and how can they address them?

Mastercam Programmers often encounter challenges when programming complex geometries, such as intricate contours or multi-axis toolpaths. These situations require careful planning to avoid collisions, ensure optimal surface finishes, and maintain efficient cycle times. Collaborating closely with machinists and engineers can help identify potential manufacturing issues early on. Additionally, regularly updating Mastercam skills and staying current with software updates can greatly improve problem-solving and productivity when handling difficult projects.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Mastercam Programmer, and why are they important?

To excel as a Mastercam Programmer, you need strong skills in CNC machining, CAD/CAM software proficiency, and a solid understanding of manufacturing processes, typically supported by technical training or certification in Mastercam. Familiarity with Mastercam software, G-code programming, and CNC machine operation is crucial for producing accurate toolpaths and efficient machining. Attention to detail, problem-solving ability, and effective communication with machinists and engineers are essential soft skills. These competencies ensure the creation of precise parts, minimize errors, and optimize production efficiency in a manufacturing environment.

What is Mastercam programming?

Mastercam programming refers to the process of using Mastercam software to create toolpaths and generate G-code for CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines. This software enables programmers to design parts, simulate machining operations, and optimize cutting processes for manufacturing. Mastercam programmers convert CAD models into instructions that CNC machines use to fabricate parts with precision and efficiency.

Job description

Overview

We're hiring CNC Machinists for our aerospace and defense machine shop.

Our parts fly on F-16s, orbit on the International Space Station, and spin in nuclear centrifuges. We run low-volume, short-run work in one of the only true aerospace precision shops in the Knoxville area.

You'll take parts from setup through final inspection on equipment ranging from a large 5-axis gantry mill and multiple large horizontal boring mills to VTLs and a full mix of 3-axis and manual machines.

Why Join Us

  • High-impact parts: Your work goes on F-16s and the International Space Station.
  • Rare shop: One of the only true aerospace machine shops near Knoxville.
  • Stay on 1st shift: Start on days and keep days

Compensation

  • $27 - $33 / hr

Hiring on 1st and 2nd Shift

  • 1st Shift: 7:00 AM - 3:30 PM, Monday - Friday
  • 2nd Shift: 5:30 PM - 3:30 AM, Monday - Thursday (optional)

What You'll Run

  • Classic 3-axis CNC mills and lathes
  • Manual mills, lathes, and saws
  • Large 5-axis gantry mill
  • Multiple large horizontal boring mills (HBMs)
  • Large vertical turret lathes (VTLs)
  • Exotic materials for flight-critical applications

Responsibilities

  • Setups: Perform complete setups, touch-offs, and tool offsets on short-run parts.
  • G-Code Edits: Modify programs at the controller to troubleshoot and hold accuracy.
  • Close-Tolerance Machining: Cut complex geometries in exotic materials for flight-critical parts.
  • Manual Machining: Run manual mills, lathes, and saws for secondary operations.
  • Blueprints & GD&T: Interpret complex engineering drawings and GD&T callouts.
  • Program Verification: Prove out MasterCam programs with engineering to improve efficiency.
  • Inspection: Check finished parts with precision measuring tools to AS9100D standards.

Requirements

Qualifications

Required:

  • 3+ years professional machining experience
  • Performs own setups and offsets
  • Edits G-code at the controller
  • Experience machining parts to close tolerances
  • Reads complex prints with GD&T
  • Strong knowledge of precision measuring tools

Preferred:

  • Prior experience running 5-axis machines
  • Proficiency on manual mills and lathes
  • Aerospace or defense manufacturing background
  • AS9100D or Nadcap environment experience
  • Experience fabricating custom-designed equipment

Benefits

  • Paid healthcare
  • Paid holidays and vacation
  • Matching 401(k)
