5-Axis CNC Programmer, Setter & Operator

Job Title: Simultaneous 5-Axis CNC Programmer, Setter & Operator
Location: [Your Company Location]
Department: Precision Machining / Manufacturing
Reports To: Production Manager / Engineering Head

Job Summary:

We are seeking an experienced and self-driven Simultaneous 5-Axis CNC Programmer who can independently program, set up, and operate advanced 5-axis machining centers for high-precision components. The ideal candidate must be highly proficient in CAM programming (for true simultaneous 5-axis machining), with strong experience in setting and running multi-axis CNC machines in industries like aerospace, defense, medical, or high-precision tooling.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and optimize simultaneous 5-axis CNC programs using advanced CAM software (such as NX CAM, HyperMill, PowerMill, or Mastercam Multiaxis).
• Set up complex 5-axis machining centers including fixture design, workholding, tool setting, and part alignment.
• Operate the machine to produce high-precision parts per drawings, 3D models, and tolerancing standards.
• Interpret 2D drawings and 3D CAD models with GD&T to plan machining strategies.
• Select appropriate tooling, cutting strategies, and machining parameters (feeds, speeds, step-overs).
• Perform in-process inspection using high-precision metrology tools and collaborate with the QC team.
• Troubleshoot machining and programming issues; recommend improvements for cycle time, tool life, and accuracy.
• Work with Engineering and Production teams to ensure machining efficiency and product quality.
• Maintain machine cleanliness, basic maintenance, and safety protocols at all times.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• Diploma / B.Tech / BE in Mechanical Engineering or relevant field.
• Minimum 5-10 years of hands-on experience in simultaneous 5-axis CNC programming, setting, and operating.
• Strong experience with CAM software capable of full 5-axis toolpath generation.
• Proficiency with machine controls such as Heidenhain, Siemens 840D, Fanuc 31i-B5, etc.
• Deep understanding of complex part machining, tool paths, collision avoidance, and multi-axis kinematics.
• Ability to machine hard materials like Inconel, titanium, stainless steel, and aluminum alloys with tight tolerances.
• Excellent knowledge of cutting tools, fixtures, and high-speed machining strategies.
• Strong understanding of GD&T, surface finish standards, and component criticality.

Preferred:

• Background in aerospace, defense, medical implants, or precision tooling industries.
• Experience with automation (e.g., pallet changers, probing systems, in-process gauging).
• Familiarity with CAD platforms (e.g., Siemens NX, CATIA, SolidWorks).
