Weekend Cnc Programmer Jobs in Phoenix, AZ (NOW HIRING)

Position Summary
Position Summary:
Coordinates complex programming support for machining parts, tools, or sheet metal on numerically controlled machine tools from engineering design stage through the finished part. Ensures parts conform to dimensional specifications and equipment achieves throughput efficiency.
Essential Functions:

1. Provides programming support for machining parts, tools, or sheet metal on numerically controlled machine tools by writing complex programs of machine instructions in symbolic language to encode numerical control tape or direct numerical control database to regulate movement of machine along cutting path. Changes, updates and/or initiates manufacturing processes.
2. Safely and economically produces a part to the manufacturing engineering specification or drawing by selecting proper cutting tools for each part, taking into consideration such factors as speeds, types of cutters, feeds, and control system limitations.
3. Selects program routines for the most efficient computer calculation of dimensional and machining requirements for each part buy computing angular and linear dimensions, radii, and curvatures, and outlining sequence of operations required to machine the part.
4. Determines dimension and configuration of difficult cuts, selection of cutting tools, and machine speeds and feed rates by analyzing drawings, sketches, and design data of part.
5. Coordinates and oversees tape tryouts, including complete follow-up on all cycle related procedures, documentation and communications. Assures accuracy by comparing encoded tape or computer printout with original program sheet.
6. Shows location of reference points and direction of cutting paths by preparing geometric layout on graph paper or using computer-assisted drafting software.
7. Modifies existing parts programs for engineering changes or program improvements. Eliminates instruction errors or omissions by revising program.
8. Analyzes proposed changes in methods and materials and contributes to continuous improvement and key lean manufacturing/production activities. Recommends actions by analyzing and interpreting data and making comparative analyses. May lead special projects in applying continuous improvement techniques and implementing changes.
9. Maintains technical knowledge by attending educational workshops and reviewing technical publications.
10. May provide leadership to others in department. Acts as prime contact on high level projects. Establishes goals and objectives required to complete projects. Trains and mentors less experienced employees.
11. Shares specialized knowledge with others. Serves as a resource to others in resolving a variety of problems. Supports the team by accomplishing related results as needed. Work assignments may include cross-functional or project team responsibilities.
