3+ years expUS Tech Solutions is a global staff augmentation firm providing a wide range of talent on-demand and total workforce solutions. They are seeking a Shot Peen Programmer to develop and optimize multi-axis motion paths for IPS dual 4-axis gantry machines and ensure peening intensity falls within specified ranges.
Information Technology
Responsibilities
Develop and optimize multi-axis motion paths for IPS dual 4-axis gantry machines using Fanuc 30i-B controllers. Utilize "teach-in" modes and manual G-code entry to program complex geometries including turbine wheel dovetail slots and other profiles
Create and substantiate saturation curves (4-point minimum) to determine saturation time (1T) and ensure peening intensity falls within specified ranges
Configure and calibrate critical machine parameters including air pressure, turntable RPM, nozzle distance/angles, and shot flow rates via MagnaValve controllers
Perform 100% coverage validation. Conduct magnified inspections (up to 25x) to identify and prevent surface defects such as bulges, rolled edges, or over-peening on critical thin edges and radii
Oversee shot classification and maintenance to ensure media meets fracture count and size distribution requirements for Cast Steel or Conditioned Cut Wire media
Provide expert guidance on fixturing design and masking strategies to protect non-peen areas while allowing for proper "fadeout" in transition zones
Act as the primary trainer for production operators and other engineers
Generate and support workstation instructions (methods) for CNC related issues
Initiate and lead process improvement projects to improve safety, quality, cost and delivery
Provide effective communication to appropriate team members when needed
Work effectively as an individual and in a team-based environment in a matrixed organization
Work effectively in a fast-paced environment while embracing and driving positive change inside and outside the organization when appropriate

3–5 years of specialized experience in automated shot peening, preferably in an aerospace or heavy industrial gas turbine OEM environment
Proven ability to program Fanuc-based CNC machines and work with process control software (e.g., IPS CIMCAP)
Deep understanding of Almen strip handling, intensity measurement, and the mathematical derivation of saturation curves
