A VMC (Vertical Machining Center) programmer and operator sets up, programs, and runs CNC milling machines to manufacture precision metal parts.

Responsibilities include interpreting technical drawings, writing or editing G&M; codes, adjusting tool offsets, and inspecting finished components for quality assurance. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Key Responsibilities

- Programming: Create and edit 2D/3D CNC programs using G-code, M-code, or CAD/CAM software (like Unigraphics or Solid Edge) based on part blueprints. [1, 2]

- Machine Setup: Secure raw materials, install cutting tools, set work coordinates, and establish tool offsets for precision machining. [1, 2, 3]

- Operation & Monitoring: Regulate machining parameters—such as feed rates, spindle speeds, and coolant flow—while closely monitoring the machine during operation. [1, 2]

- Quality Control:



Perform in-process and final inspections using precision measuring instruments like micrometers, Vernier calipers, and height gauges. [1, 2]

- Troubleshooting & Maintenance: Identify and resolve machining errors, conduct routine machine maintenance, and keep the work area safe and clean. [1, 2]

Qualifications & Requirements

- Education: ITI (Machinist/Fitter) for operators, or a Diploma/Degree in Mechanical Engineering for advanced programmers.

- Experience: Typically 2 to 5 years of hands-on experience in a CNC toolroom or production workplace.

- Core Skills: Blueprint reading, deep knowledge of cutting tools, understanding of GD&T;, and proficiency with controllers like Fanuc or Siemens. [1, 2, 3]
