CNC Programmer

As a CNC Programmer at iCOMAT, you will be responsible for creating, modifying, and optimizing CNC programs to produce precision components according to technical specifications. You will work closely with the engineering and production teams to ensure efficient and accurate manufacturing processes.

What will you be doing?

• Analyse and interpret customer requirements from CAD models and / or Drawings to develop efficient Tooling and Machining strategies.


• Create Fixtures / Tooling designs to allow next stage of the process to work efficiently, repetitively and able to meet required tolerances.


• Create, modify, and optimise CNC programs to machine Tooling and Components.


• Select appropriate cutter paths, cutting tools, speeds, and feeds based on material properties and machining requirements.


• Identify and implement process improvements to enhance production efficiency, reduce cycle times, and ensure high yield and quality output.


• Conduct simulations and test runs to validate CNC programs and make necessary adjustments to ensure optimal performance.


• Work closely with machinists, engineers, and other team members to resolve technical issues and ensure seamless production workflows.


• Provide and maintain detailed documentation of CNC programs, setup sheets, and process parameters for future reference and continuous improvement.


• Provide training and support to CNC operators and other team members on new and existing programs.
  
  Experience of CNC Programming is essential (including 5-axis), a background of CNC Machining would also be beneficial.


• Proficient in CNC programming languages (e.g., G-code, M-code) and CAD/CAM software (e.g., Mastercam, SolidCAM, CATIA).


• Strong understanding of machining processes, materials, and tooling.


• High level of precision and attention to detail in all tasks.


• Excellent problem-solving skills with the ability to troubleshoot and resolve programming and machining issues.


• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work well within a team.


• Willingness to adapt to changing priorities and work under pressure to meet deadlines.


We've completed multiple technology validation programmes (with the European Space Agency, Airbus, Jaguar Land Rover, BAE Systems, F1 Teams) and are in the process of executing on the first production opportunities with leading OEMs. We're edging towards becoming a significant scale-up with growth plans that will see the business multiply in size over the next 2-3 years and expand operations into Europe and the US!
