Talascend is currently seeking a CNC Programmer for a contract opportunity with our client in Greenville, South Carolina.

Overview

This position supports CNC programming, process development, and shop operations for large-format and multi-axis machining equipment. The role involves developing and verifying CNC programs, supporting process improvements, and providing programming and troubleshooting assistance on the shop floor.

Responsibilities

  • Program and support process development for large vertical turning lathes, vertical boring mills, gantry five-axis machines, and large vertical multi-purpose turning and grinding equipment.
  • Generate and maintain CNC programs using graphical CAM software for multi-axis milling, turning, grinding, and electrical discharge machining.
  • Verify new CNC programs before release to the shop floor using simulation and verification software.
  • Incorporate on-machine probing cycles for part and process validation, including error trapping.
  • Create programs that follow established standards and qualified machining parameters.
  • Provide CNC-related support to manufacturing engineering and train operators during new or rebuilt machine startups and process improvements.
  • Provide daily CNC programming and troubleshooting support to shop-floor operators.
  • Support and implement tooling and fixturing requirements for CNC machine tools.
  • Generate and support workstation instructions for CNC-related issues.
  • Initiate and lead process improvement projects to improve safety, quality, cost, and delivery.
  • Communicate effectively with appropriate team members and work effectively in an individual and team-based environment.
  • Work effectively in a fast-paced environment while supporting positive change.

Qualifications

  • At least four years of experience with graphical-based CAM system CNC programming.
  • At least four years of offline CAM programming experience with four- and five-axis continuous milling, large vertical turning lathes, or multi-axis grinding systems.
  • At least two years of experience with advanced machine and tool controls, including writing and using subroutines, macro variables, Boolean logic, and closed-loop machining.
  • Hands-on experience as a machinist, including the ability to set up and prove out complex first-piece programs.
  • Experience machining high-temperature alloys or heavy structural parts.
  • Experience with on-machine probing, including probing macros.
  • Familiarity with modern machine controls.
  • Experience managing tight tolerances on large-format equipment up to 2.5 meters, where part deflection, work hardening, and thermal stability are critical factors.
  • Strong problem-solving and organizational skills.
  • Above-average shop mathematics skills in geometry and trigonometry.
  • Demonstrated proficiency interpreting drawing requirements.
  • Ability to multitask and manage multiple projects concurrently.
  • Strong commitment to craftsmanship, method setup, process stability, and safety.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with Siemens NX CAM.
