5-Axis CNC Programmer

Position Summary:

• Write, modify, and maintain CNC programs for both machining cells according to company standards. 
• Use MasterCam to develop toolpaths and generate machine-specific programs for the large Gantry system and smaller 5-Axis machine.
• Create programs for the large Gantry System to cut and drill holes in hulls, decks, grids, hardtops, and other large boat parts.
• Create programs for the smaller 5-Axis Machine to cut and trim small fiberglass boat parts with complex contours and cutting paths. 
• Test, debug, and refine programs for both cells to verify cutting paths and ensure parts meet drawing requirements. 
• Optimize CNC programs and machining processes in both cells to improve workflow, part quality, and cycle time.
• Create and maintain program documentation, setup instructions, and training material for both machining cells. 
• Support engineering and production during implementation of new and revised CNC programs in both cells. 
• Perform other duties as assigned.
• Train team members on program use and setup requirements for the Ganty and 5-Axis machining cells.
• Perform mechanical tasks including loading and unloading parts.
• Work with engineering to review part geometry, machining requirements, and fixture needs for large boat components and small fiberglass parts.
• Open SolidWorks models and prepare geometry for MasterCam toolpath development.
