Job Details
Project Kuiper is Amazon's low Earth orbit satellite broadband network. Its mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet to customers and communities around the world, and we've designed the system with the capacity, flexibility, and performance to serve a wide range of customers, from individual households to schools, hospitals, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations operating in locations without reliable connectivity.
The CNC Programmer will work closely with machinists, engineers and machining shop management to outline, develop and optimize new machining and manufacturing processes. The successful candidate will have extensive experience in programming and machining tight tolerance aerospace components. The desired candidate will have experience in a fast paced machining environment and will have the ability to respond quickly to interruptions and requests to support test teams.
Key job responsibilities
Use CAD/CAM software to program multi-axis milling machines to machine complex metallic structures and components
Translate engineering drawings into reliable R&D and production machining processes
Provide feedback to engineering teams to improve DFMA
Design, program and machine test fixtures
Maintain rev control of programs, tooling and setups
Select tooling and maintain tool library
Material selection and sizing
Ability to handle complete part manufacture including outside processing
Experience with a variety of materials (aluminum, stainless steels, titanium and nickel based alloys)
