DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Create 2D profile and 3D wireframe geometric and solid models using CADCAM life cycle software functionality, design tools and simulator to prove parts and components prior to manufacture.

Utilise knowledge of CAD CAM programming and assessment of associated anti-collision tool paths to adopt advanced milling techniques such as 3-axis milling and 4/5 axis positioning for fast and efficient production.

Provide hands on support to CNC operators by programming and setting up a range of FANUC and Heidenhain CNC controlled machines to manufacture components to tight tolerances and deadlines.

Monitoring of spindle position/cutting depth/speed/feed/coolant flow to detect work defects or malfunctions and enter commands or manually adjust machine settings to correct malfunctions/out of tolerance machining.

Utilise job manager/report/code wizard functionalities to maximise programming efficiency and productivity through the assessment and development of post processors for each machine and control system.

Ensure that all job related paperwork and technical reports are accurately completed and submitted and comply with all company QHSE policies, practices and procedures.

Contribute to the team ethic and perform other reasonable duties as required and maybe required to work off site in support of the business
