posted 5 months ago
Moog is seeking a Senior NC Programmer with extensive experience in programming multi-axis lathe and mill machines to support the development and maturation of production programs in our fabrication shop. This position is based in Torrance, CA, and operates on a 9/80 work schedule, allowing for every other Friday off. As a Senior NC Programmer, you will report directly to a Manufacturing Engineering Leader and play a crucial role in ensuring the efficient production of aerospace parts using numerically controlled machines. In this role, you will be responsible for determining the operations to be performed on N/C machines, preparing detailed program outlines, and establishing tooling and gauging requirements. You will also prepare operation sheets for the N/C processes, estimate setup and run hours for production parts, and design and build hours for tooling. Given the complexity of the parts, you may be responsible for the total operation sheet when a significant portion of the work is N/C. Your responsibilities will extend beyond desk work; you will spend time in the N/C centers to solve problems and improve processes related to the parts you oversee. This may involve making independent decisions or collaborating with various stakeholders, including Group Leaders, Methods Engineers, Quality Assurance Personnel, and Inspectors. Strong human relation skills are essential for effective communication and teamwork. Additionally, you will provide technical guidance to your group, contribute to job evaluations and performance appraisals, and support the Machine Shop and Assembly & Test areas by coordinating activities within the manufacturing engineering group. You will actively participate in developing new processes and manufacturing methods aimed at standardization and cost reduction, working closely with department Engineers and Technicians to ensure on-time and cost-competitive process planning. Your technical input will be vital for addressing difficult and non-routine manufacturing engineering challenges.
