At Zimmer Biomet, we believe in pushing the boundaries of innovation and driving our mission forward. As a global medical technology leader for nearly 100 years, a patient’s mobility is enhanced by a Zimmer Biomet product or technology every 8 seconds.
As a Zimmer Biomet team member, you will share in our commitment to providing mobility and renewed life to people around the world. To support our talent team, we focus on development opportunities, robust employee resource groups (ERGs), a flexible working environment, location specific competitive total rewards, wellness incentives and a culture of recognition and performance awards. We are committed to creating an environment where every team member feels included, respected, empowered and recognised.
What You Can Expect
Provide advanced technical support and guidance to less experienced CNC Programmers. Develop machining processes and programs for the manufacturing of products in multiple-axis machining centers. Take the lead role in process improvement and cost reductions through productivity improvement and machine time reductions, including tools and new product program testing. Aid in data management of the data repository system. Provide input into the purchase of new CNC equipment. Responsible for the CAD system that generates computer models of the parts.
How You'll Create Impact
- Develip machining processes and programs for the manufacturing of Medical Device Implants in multiple-axis milling & turning centers interfacing with manufacturing engineers, development engineers, quality engineers and production personnel.
- Analyze part drawings, sketches, and design data to determine dimension and configuration of cuts, selecting cutting tools, and machine speeds and feeds, according to knowledge of machine shop processes. Perform debugging and testing of CNC programs in the machining centers.
- Maintain & troubleshoot existing CNC programs using CAM software, equipment software and measurement hardware. Update and create macros to simplify operator and technician interactions with machining centers.
- Prepare and manage program files on our central data repostiory (Delmia) ensuring that program traceability and control is maintained.
- Develop, train and provide technical support to front line technician support ensuring process stability and efficient troubleshooting.
- Provide input on the purchase of all CNC related machine tools and programming equipment, to include information on controls, program linking and aid in any testing required in the purchase of new CNC equipment.
- Work closely with CNC machine providers and cutting tool providers to ensure the company leverages current best practices to improve machining efficiency and quality.
- Prioritize work assignments and provide feedback and coaching to less experienced team members.
- Assist in preparation of manufacturing budgets, cylce time analysis and machining efficiency figures using theoretical data and demonstrated performance.
- Ensure that machining processes meet quality standards and process changes are assessed correctly against quality system and design testing requirements.
