Position summary

The CAM Programmer turns customer drawings and STEP files into proven, repeatable CNC programs. The role supports the office by giving the Production Coordinator the tool list, program and operation times needed to quote a new part, and supports the shop by delivering programs that run safely and correctly on the first piece. The programmer works in MasterCam on both lathes (live tooling, C and Y axis) and mills (3-axis, 3+2 and multi-axis), and keeps the program library in the ERP under each production so every job has one current, proven program.

Key responsibilities

• Review each opportunity sent for programming: quantity, material, sales notes, drawings and STEP files.
• Choose the best machine for the job, meaning the one that needs the fewest operations.
• Create the MasterCam program for the lathe (live tooling, C and Y axis) or mill (3-axis, 3+2 or multi-axis), and decide whether the job needs a jig or can use standard fixtures. Create the jig CAD when one is needed.
• Decide whether new tools are required, select the tool, and create the product in Odoo. Otherwise use standard tooling.
• Update the Bill of Materials in Odoo with the program, operation times and tool sheet so the Production Coordinator can finish the quote.
• Flag any part that cannot be made as drawn (fixturing, reach, tolerance, material) before a quote goes out.

Production support

• Post-process programs for the assigned machine and control, and keep tool and setup sheets current.
• Support the first piece: make the edits the Foreman requests, issue a new revision and update the BOM.
• Keep programs, tool sheets and times matched to the current drawing revision, and update the program when a drawing changes.
• Get QC review when a program change affects tolerances or inspection.

Program library and revision control

• Keep the program library in the ERP (Odoo), with the program, tool sheet and times saved under each production, with revision numbers and a record of what changed.
• Archive the final proven program, tool sheet and times in the ERP after the job is complete.
• Make sure the program on the production is always the current, proven revision.

Continuous improvement and daily

• Maintain the standard tool, holder and fixture library, and recommend speeds, feeds and fixtures.
• Recommend tooling or machine purchases that would cut cycle time, including what the planned new machine makes possible.
• Attend the daily morning meeting and report programs ready, programs in progress and quote requests waiting.
• Train a backup on the CAM software so programming is covered during absences.
