NC Programmers

Develops and writes programs for numerically controlled machines using engineering specifications and drawings. Analyzes engineering drawings to define configuration of parts and determine type and sequence of machine operations. Develops programs for machining parts tools or sheet metal on numerically controlled machine tools. Makes proper cutter selections for each part taking into consideration such factors as speeds types of cutters feeds and control system limitations. Selects program routines for the most efficient computer calculation of dimensional and machining requirements for each part. Tests and modifies existing parts programs for engineering changes or program improvements.
