Manufacturing Programmer

The Manufacturing Programmer is responsible for developing and implementing programs for computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) systems, with a primary focus on sheet metal fabrication. This role centers around programming for CNC LVD laser cutting machines and press brakes using CAMDUCT and CADMAN software. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, collaborative, and capable of optimizing manufacturing processes through efficient programming and data management.

* Create and optimize CNC programs for LVD laser cutting machines and press brakes, focusing on efficient part nesting, bending sequences, and tooling selection.

* Utilize CAMDUCT for product design, 2D layout development, and flat pattern generation for laser cutting operations.

* Proficiently use CADMAN software modules (CADMAN-L and CADMAN-B) for bend allowance calculations, production control, and job management.

* Interpret and work from blueprints, technical drawings, and engineering specifications to determine part requirements and machining processes.

* Analyze and improve existing CNC programs to reduce machining time, minimize material waste, and increase accuracy and efficiency.

* Collaborate with engineers, lead programmers, and machine operators to ensure seamless communication and process alignment.

* Troubleshoot programming and machining issues, including tool path errors, material behavior, and machine performance concerns.

* Manage and utilize CADMAN-JOB for production tracking, data collection, and analysis, with potential ERP system integration.

* Create and maintain detailed documentation, setup sheets, and CAD/CAM files to support future use and revisions.

* Potentially train or mentor machine operators in best practices, programming logic, and troubleshooting techniques.

* Stay informed on advancements in CNC programming, CAM software, and manufacturing technologies.

* Maintain organized program files and documentation according to company standards.

* Follow safety procedures, use required PPE and maintain clean work areas (5S).

Physical Requirements

* Standing and walking are a necessary part of the job.

* Lifting up to 55 lbs. unassisted.

* Bending, stooping, and reaching as required for machining and programming tasks.

* Proficient in creating and optimizing CNC programs for LVD laser cutting machines and press brakes, with a focus on efficient nesting, bending sequences, and tooling.

* Skilled in CAMDUCT and CADMAN (L, B, J) software for flat pattern layout, bend allowances, production planning, and job tracking.

* Strong ability to interpret technical drawings and improve CNC programs for reduced machining time, material waste, and enhanced accuracy.

* Experienced in troubleshooting programming and machine-related issues, collaborating closely with engineers and operators to resolve challenges.

* Adept at maintaining organized documentation, setup sheets, and integrating data with ERP systems for streamlined production.

* Committed to continuous improvement, operator training, and maintaining safety and 5S standards in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

* Self-motivated with strong attention to detail and quality standards.

* Effective verbal and written communication skills.

* Ability to work independently and meet deadlines.

* High school diploma or equivalent required; AA/AS degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, or related field preferred.
