CNC Programmer (2400)

CNC PROGRAMMING ENGINEERING SCORECARD

FUNCTION:

CNC Programming Engineers are thebridge between design and fully CNC machined components. Theylive and breathe CNC machiningand CAM (computer aided manufacturing). The engineer’s “customers” are the associates and technicians on the floor who are hands-on with the machining processes and output. It is crucial that the programming engineerserve these customers wellby kindly receiving feedback, executing change requests, and teaching along the way. They must have an intimate knowledge ofmachining processes and stronginterpersonal skills. Programming engineers will constantly engage in new program development, program corrections, and run-time reduction projects.

OUTCOMES:

• Intentionally mentoror at least one manufacturing associate or machining technician via weekly relational and educational sessions
• Attend one industryExpo or Conferenceevery year.
• Find one2 second improvement(fix what bugs you) every day and share with the rest of the engineering team via photo or video.
• Identify, purchase and implement one significant piece oftechnology, software, hardware, or equipment per year
• Engage incontinuing educationfor CAM (or other) software
• Innovate manufacturabilityandadvocate for internal customersduring the design and prototype phases of new projects.
• Diagnosequality issuesand design processes to prevent repeat occurrences
• Ensurework instructions are in place for new projects
• Respond to allcommunication from internal customerswithin 8 work hours

Qualifications

COMPETENCIES:

Cultural

Fulfillment at work most often occurs when personal values align with those of the organization. Protomet associates it’s collective character with the following traits:

• Second Mile
  The first mile is mandatory. The second mile is voluntary; we do it for our own growth. Outsized benefits are realized in the second mile.
• Don’t Touch the Marshmallow
  The strength to reject short term gratification in favor of a larger reward later. We err towards celebrating later, not sooner.
• Abundance Mindset
  Life is not a zero-sum game. We strive to reject scarcity mindsets and instead “grow the pie”. Example –does a new “A” player on your teampose a threat (scarcity) or an opportunity to grow as a team?
• Skills Beat Credentials
  What you can do is all that matters. Credentials alone won’t get you anywhere at Protomet.
• That’s Hard…Good
  Growth happens the most in the face of challenges. We recognize it is difficult to grin as you are being tested, but it’s possible, and we’re getting better at it.
