CNC Programmer (2400)

CNC PROGRAMMING ENGINEERING SCORECARD

FUNCTION:

CNC Programming Engineers are the bridge between design and fully CNC machined components. They live and breathe CNC machining and CAM (computer aided manufacturing). The engineer’s “customers” are the associates and technicians on the floor who are hands-on with the machining processes and output. It is crucial that the programming engineer serve these customers well by kindly receiving feedback, executing change requests, and teaching along the way. They must have an intimate knowledge of machining processes and strong interpersonal skills. Programming engineers will constantly engage in new program development, program corrections, and run-time reduction projects.

OUTCOMES:

• Intentionally mentor or at least one manufacturing associate or machining technician via weekly relational and educational sessions
• Attend one industry Expo or Conference every year.
• Find one 2 second improvement (fix what bugs you) every day and share with the rest of the engineering team via photo or video.
• Identify, purchase and implement one significant piece of technology, software, hardware, or equipment per year
• Engage in continuing education for CAM (or other) software
• Innovate manufacturability and advocate for internal customers during the design and prototype phases of new projects.
• Diagnose quality issues and design processes to prevent repeat occurrences
• Ensure work instructions are in place for new projects
• Respond to all communication from internal customers within 8 work hours
