Your MissionAs a CNC Programmer, you will ensure seamless, efficient, and reliable manufacturing operations across all HCA plants by providing expert CNC programming support. You will enable production teams to manufacture high-quality parts, whether produced through injection molding, milling, lathes, or CNC multitask machines, by delivering accurate programs, optimizing machining processes, and resolving daily technical challenges. Your work will directly support productivity, quality, and continuous improvement across the organization.
How you will make a difference - Improving manufacturing processes by analyzing current methods and implementing tooling or cutting changes that reduce cycle time, enhance quality, and lower cost, while always prioritizing safety.
- Troubleshooting CNC processes that are not performing as intended, ensuring production print requirements can be met and providing effective technical solutions.
- Documenting new and existing processes through clear work instructions to support consistency, quality, and training across the plant.
- Collaborating with engineering to clarify manufacturing requirements and explore alternative processes that improve output and reduce cost.
- Communicating with machinists and other team members to ensure expectations are clear and supporting training on the shop floor and in office functions.
- Creating standard CNC programs and routers for established processes, ensuring they are error-proof, prevent machine crashes, and reflect accurate costing and routing.
What you should be good atManufacturing & Machining Skills - Minimum of four years of experience in manufacturing or process engineering.
- Hands-on machining experience operating CNC lathes, 3-axis or 5-axis mills, and multitasking machines.
- Ability to run CNC machines independently and safely.
- Experience with production processes such as cutting, turning, and milling.
CNC Programming & Technical Knowledge - Ability to create or modify CNC programs (conversational or software-based).
- Strong understanding of G-code and M-code.
