CNC Programmer, NX CAM (IGT Blades & Vanes) - Level 4/5

• ◆Use NX CAD/CAM to program CNC parts, including 5-axis milling (flank and point milling) for roughing and finishing of airfoils, roots, and shrouds.
• ◆Program or support programs for grinding, sinker EDM, wire EDM, trailing-edge machining, laser drilling, and stem drilling under Specialist/lead guidance.
• ◆Verify NC files (e.g. Vericut), maintain revision control on programs and setup sheets, and work with posts and G-code as needed.
• ◆Apply knowledge of carbide and process-specific tooling/consumables; adjust speeds, feeds, and parameters with guidance.
• ◆Read and interpret engineering drawings, including GD&T, and offer suggestions on drawing and process changes to improve manufacturability (DFM).
• ◆Design and/or machine simple fixtures, brackets, holders, and rigging as directed.
• ◆Support machine setup, operation, and prove-out across mill, grind, EDM, laser, and related cells.
