CNC Programmer/Machinist

DAVRON CV: Candidate 1905133

CNC PROGRAMMER & MACHINIST | MASTERCAM | FIXTURE DESIGN, GD&T & PRECISION INSPECTION

Core Expertise

• Over 20 years programming and operating CNC mills and lathes across production and prototype environments.
• Mastercam-driven NC programming for complex geometries and multi-op part strategies.
• Fixture and tooling design to improve repeatability, reduce setup time, and enable automation.
• GD&T application and precision inspection using CMM, optical comparators, and hand tools.
• Experience supporting aerospace and medical implant supply chains with tight tolerances.

Project Background

• Developed tooling and fixtures for production tools later adopted by a major aerospace manufacturer.
• Authored CNC programs for carbide insert production, improving consistency for high-volume runs.
• Led CNC department operations including setup, preventive maintenance, and QA documentation.
• Executed time and tooling studies to reduce cycle time and increase throughput on horizontal mills.
• Supported prototype and low-volume niche parts manufacturing with process implementation.

Key Skills

• Mastercam programming, toolpath optimization, and multi-op machining strategy development.
• CNC controls: Fanuc, Haas, Okuma, Fadal, and Doosan for mills and lathes.
• Lathe and mill operations including multi-op setups, dual-spindle turning, and swiss-style cycles.
• Fixture design and workholding solutions, tooling refurbishment, and mold or die consultation.
• GD&T application, blueprint reading, first-piece and in-process inspection for quality assurance.
• Precision inspection: Zeiss CMM, optical comparator, micrometers, calipers, and gauge setups.
• Preventive maintenance execution, time studies, and production process optimization for throughput gains.

Education

• High school diploma focused on Industrial Arts and mechanical shop practices.
• GED equivalent with vocational technical coursework in machining and trades.
• Community college coursework in mechanical studies and applied manufacturing fundamentals.
