We are seeking a skilled NC Programmer with 8-10 years of experience in Unigraphics (NX) or similar parametric CAD/CAM software. The ideal candidate will have solid experience programming both multi-axis CNC milling and lathe machines and a good understanding of manufacturing processes, machining strategies, and verification tools. Experience with PowerMill for complex surface machining is a strong plus.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES/Areas Of Accountability
- Create, validate, and optimize CNC programs for a variety of machine tools using Unigraphics/NX or similar CAD/CAM software.
- Use PowerMill for complex 3D machining and surface geometry programming when applicable.
- Simulate and verify toolpaths to ensure accuracy, collision avoidance, and optimal cutting conditions.
- Program both multi-axis CNC milling and turning (lathe) machines, ensuring alignment with design intent and manufacturing capabilities.
- Interpret engineering drawings and apply Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) and ISO G&M codes accurately to ensure precision in machining.
- Select appropriate cutting tools from existing tooling libraries and make informed decisions based on part geometry, material, and tolerance requirements.
- Troubleshoot and resolve basic programming issues; escalate complex issues to appropriate technical teams as necessary.
- Collaborate with manufacturing, design, and quality teams to ensure NC programs support efficient and defect-free production.
- Understand and account for the implications of automation processes, data flows, and machining strategies on programming and production timelines.
- Identify potential delivery risks related to machine capabilities, tooling, or programming constraints and propose mitigations.
Critical Capabilities Advanced CAD/CAM Programming Skills:
- Strong expertise in using Unigraphics/NX and Powermill or equivalent software to generate accurate and efficient NC programs for both multi-axis CNC lathe and CNC milling machines.
Verification & Simulation Proficiency
- Ability to validate NC programs to ensure collision-free operations, proper tool engagement, and optimized machining paths.
Tooling & Machining Strategy Expertise
- Deep understanding of cutting tools, speeds & feeds, tool wear, and material removal strategies to maximize machine performance and part quality.
Design & Manufacturing Integration
- Ability to interpret engineering models and drawings (including GD&T) and translate them into manufacturable NC code while preserving design intent.
Problem Solving & Root Cause Analysis
- Skilled in diagnosing machining or programming issues, identifying root causes, and implementing corrective actions with minimal supervision.
Cross-Functional Communication
- Capable of working collaboratively with design engineers, manufacturing engineers, machinists, and quality teams to resolve issues and optimize processes.
Automation & Process Awareness
- Understanding of automated machining cells, probe routines, and data-driven manufacturing workflows to improve repeatability and reduce manual interventions.
Requirements EDUCATION
- Minimum post-secondary diploma in a related field (i.e. Mechanical Engineering Technologist, Manufacturing Engineering, etc.) preferred.
Experience
- 8-10 years of experience in NC programming using Unigraphics/NX and Powermill or similar parametric CAD/CAM software.
Qualifications
- 8-10 years of experience in NC programming using Unigraphics/NX or similar parametric CAD/CAM software.
