CNC Programmer, NX CAM (IGT Blades & Vanes) - Level 4/5

Preferred

• 7+ years of CNC programming experience in NX.
• Experience programming and operating multi-axis mill (and lathe) CNC machines, especially 5-axis for complex surfacing and airfoil/contour work. Examples: Starrag/Liechti (LX, NB, STC, Turbomill/g-Mill), Hermle C-series, DMG MORI DMU/DMC, Makino D-series/MAG, GROB, Mazak VARIAXIS, Okuma MU-V, or equivalent.
• Experience with IGT (or similar) blades, vanes, or high-precision airfoil components on superalloys.
• Mechanical design skills in NX (or similar CAD) for simple shop components, fixtures, brackets, holders, and rigging.
• Familiarity with sinker EDM (e.g. GF Machining/AgieCharmilles FORM, Makino EDAF/EDGE, Sodick, Mitsubishi) for seal slots and complex features.
• Exposure to cooling-hole processes: fast-hole EDM and/or laser drilling (e.g. Winbro, Huffman, Current EDM, Belmont, GF laser, or similar) including diffuser geometry through base metal and TBC.
• Exposure to CNC grinding/polishing cells for leading/trailing edges and surface finish (e.g. IMM Maschinenbau, Blohm/Mägerle/United Grinding, or equivalent).
• Familiarity with metrology (CMM, 3D scanning) in support of machining and coating operations.
