Summary

ABS Machining Inc. is seeking an experienced 5-Axis CNC Programmer to join our team.

We are looking for a highly skilled CNC programmer with strong experience in complex multi-axis machining. This position will be responsible for developing efficient, reliable, and repeatable machining processes for challenging, high-precision components, including open and closed impellers and other complex 5-axis parts.

The ideal candidate will have strong hands-on knowledge of CNC machining and will be capable of taking a job from customer-supplied models and drawings through programming, simulation, tooling development, and production optimization.

Duties / Responsibilities:

- Develop, optimize, and verify 5-axis CNC programs for complex components

- Program open and closed impellers and other challenging 5-axis geometry

- Develop programs for 5-axis milling, 4-axis milling, and CNC turning

- Develop complete machining strategies, including roughing, semi-finishing, and finishing

- Perform toolpath simulation and collision/interference checking before programs are released to the shop floor

- Select appropriate cutting tools, toolholders, speeds, feeds, and machining parameters

- Determine tooling requirements and assist with the development of special or custom tooling when required

- Review customer-supplied models, drawings, GD&T, and specifications to determine manufacturability

- Create or modify 3D models from customer-supplied data when required

- Optimize existing programs to improve cycle time, tool life, part quality, and process reliability

- Troubleshoot machining and programming issues and implement effective solutions

- Work closely with CNC machinists during first-off prove-outs, new job introductions, and process development

- Maintain organized CNC programs, setup documentation, tooling information, and revision control

- Participate in continuous improvement initiatives focused on productivity, quality, tooling, and machining efficiency

Job Specifications / Qualifications:

- Strong experience programming simultaneous 5-axis CNC machining

- Experience programming 4-axis milling and CNC turning

- Experience machining complex components within aerospace, power generation, turbomachinery, or similar high-precision industries is highly desirable

- Experience programming open and/or closed impellers is a strong asset

- Strong understanding of CNC machining principles, cutting tools, toolholders, workholding, speeds and feeds, and machining strategies

- Strong understanding of long-reach tooling, tool accessibility, collision avoidance, and machine limitations

- Ability to read and interpret complex engineering drawings, specifications, and GD&T

- Ability to create and modify 3D models from customer-supplied data

- Ability to independently troubleshoot programming and machining problems and develop practical solutions

- Strong attention to detail when working with tight tolerances and complex geometry

- Experience working directly with CNC machinists during program prove-out and process development

- Ability to develop a complete machining process rather than simply create or modify toolpaths
