Focused on delivering precision parts to our clients on short lead times, our workplace is fast-paced with dynamic and exciting projects. Come join our tight-knit and growing team to challenge your existing skills and gain a wide range of experience in a growth-oriented environment. Opportunities for advancement and role development are available and participation is heavily encouraged.We are located in Faber, VA, close by to Route 29, Charlottesville, Scottsville, and Lovingston.Summary/ObjectiveGremlin Works is hiring for the role of Expert CNC Programmer to support a growing portfolio of prototyping and small production work. Candidates should be able to work well with a team of project managers, machinists, and inspectors to effectively execute a wide range of manufacturing contracts. Programmers will generate NC programs for machine operators to run and prove-out with minimal support from the programmer. Programmers must be skilled in offline CNC programming on multiple different softwares, with the ability to quickly learn new programming software if required. Programmers are expected to generate NC programs for CNC mills (3-5 axis machines) and CNC Mill-Turn machines in a shop of 6-10 machines for a high mix of prototyping and production work. Candidates must be trustworthy, driven, and able to conduct work independently with appropriate direction.Key ResponsibilitiesCandidates should expect the following responsibilities at a minimum:<ul><li>Programmers will receive 3D CAD models and drawings, which they are expected to quickly review, analyze, and generate an initial manufacturing plan for each part<ul><li>The manufacturing plan will describe each step of the manufacturing process for a part, detail machine and workholding requirements, and be used to schedule and plan shop floor activities</li><li>Programmers will collaborate with project managers, salespeople, quality inspectors, and machinists to ensure the manufacturing plan is satisfactory</li><li>Programmers may also be asked to provide input and develop draft manufacturing plans during the quoting process</li></ul></li><li>Once a manufacturing plan has been developed, Programmers will make an initial NC program for each part, focused on generating a complete Bill of Materials for specific tooling, workholding, and any other specialty requirements</li><li>Programmers will complete, simulate, and verify full NC programs prior to release to the shop floor for prove-out by a machine operator<ul><li>Released NC programs shall be free of machine/ tooling/ workholding collisions that would cause damage to the CNC machines</li><li>Programmers will include any necessary notes and instructions to operators to prevent collisions and ensure smooth execution of the NC program</li></ul></li><li>Programmers will support machine operators and quality inspectors with troubleshooting activities.
