LASER PROGRAMMER Mazak Programming & TRUMPF TruTops Boost

Department Manufacturing / Fabrication Reports To Fabrication Supervisor / Production Manager Employment Full-Time | On-Site Shift As assigned

POSITION SUMMARY Quality Products & Machine LLC seeks a detail-oriented Laser Programmer experienced in Mazak laser programming and TRUMPF TruTops Boost software. This role creates, verifies, optimizes, and maintains CNC laser programs for precision sheet metal fabrication in a job-based manufacturing environment. The programmer works with Engineering, Production, Quality, and Materials to meet drawing requirements, support schedules, maximize sheet utilization, and reduce scrap and downtime.

Laser Programming & Software • Create, modify, verify, and release CNC laser cutting programs for Mazak and applicable TRUMPF

equipment. • Use Mazak programming tools and TRUMPF TruTops Boost to prepare CAD geometry, toolpaths, cutting

sequences, and production-ready files. • Set appropriate pierce points, lead-ins/outs, cutting technologies, and machine-specific parameters based

on approved processes. • Maintain organized program files, revision history, and correct links to current drawings and job

requirements.

Nesting & Material Efficiency • Develop nests that optimize sheet utilization, part orientation, cutting time, and material yield. • Consider sheet dimensions, material grade, thickness, available stock, and traceability requirements. • Coordinate material needs and approved substitutions with Purchasing, Inventory, Engineering, and

Quality. • Identify and document opportunities to reduce scrap, remnant waste, and unnecessary cutting time.

Production Support & Quality • Interpret blueprints, CAD files, tolerances, and customer specifications; resolve discrepancies before

release. • Support laser operators during setup, first-piece verification, prove-outs, and troubleshooting. • Investigate cut quality, dimensional, piercing, and programming issues; implement approved corrections. • Ensure programs follow current engineering revisions, inspection requirements, and quality procedures. • Communicate program readiness, risks, and schedule impacts to Fabrication and Production

Management.

JobBOSS² & Continuous Improvement • Review JobBOSS² job requirements, material specifications, quantities, and priorities to schedule

programming work.
