4. Is this role for one specific project or for CITIC’s pipeline?

The description specifies a “newly launched mega development,” suggesting this is for a specific, flagship project. However, with 5 openings, managers may lead different towers or zones within the same master development.

Apply now

Position Overview: CNC Programmer / Fiber Laser Specialist

Key Responsibilities

The successful candidate will be entrusted with the following core technical and leadership duties:

  • CNC Programming & Optimization: Develop, optimize, and validate CNC programs for fiber laser cutting machines to maximize material yield (nesting) and cutting speed while ensuring precision.
  • Technical Coordination & Validation: Work closely with the design engineering and production management teams to prepare programs and ensure they meet all technical specifications before release to the shop floor.
  • Team Supervision & Leadership: Lead, train, and supervise laser machine operators, ensuring programs are executed correctly and machine performance is monitored.
  • Machine Performance & Maintenance Support: Fine-tune cutting parameters (power, speed, gas pressure) to achieve optimal cut quality. Prepare requests for critical spare parts and consumables (nozzles, lenses, ceramics).
  • Process Improvement: Utilize deep knowledge of laser cutting techniques and software to continuously improve programming strategies for greater efficiency and cost savings.

Candidate Requirements (Mandatory)

Requirement CategorySpecific Qualification
Technical ExperienceMinimum 5 years of proven, hands-on experience in programming Fiber Laser cutting machines.
Software Proficiency (Mandatory)Advanced proficiency in nesting software: Lantek, CypCut, and SigmaNEST. Proficiency in AutoCAD.
Technical KnowledgeStrong understanding of laser cutting parameters (power, speed, frequency, assist gases) and optimization techniques. Comprehensive knowledge of laser machine spare parts and consumables.
GenderThis role is for male candidates.
Additional AdvantageExperience in bending machine programming (Delem systems) and knowledge of SolidWorks are preferred.

Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal specialist for this role will be:

  • true technical expert and problem-solver who can bridge the gap between CAD design and flawless physical production.

2. How critical is the 5-year experience requirement?

It is absolute. This is not an entry-level programming role. The requirement for expertise in three specific nesting software packages indicates a need for a veteran who can handle complex, high-value production with minimal supervision.

3. What does “nesting software” do?

Nesting software (like Lantek, CypCut) automatically arranges 2D part shapes on a sheet of metal to minimize raw material waste. Advanced programming involves optimizing this layout while also considering cutting paths and sequence for speed and quality.

4. Is this a desk-only job, or does it involve shop floor work?

This is a hybrid role. You will spend significant time at a computer programming (desk), but you must also go to the shop floor to validate programs, supervise operators, fine-tune machine parameters, and inspect cut quality.
