CNC Programming Milling & Turning

SUMMARY

Working as part of the EBC Brakes Racing division, the CNC Programmer will be responsible for the writing and prove out of CNC programs using both CNC turning and milling machines. Supplying braking components to the performance aftermarket and motorsport sectors, EBC’s Race Production machine shop primarily focusses on producing aluminium hubs turned from billet, and caliper location brackets milled from billet (which are sold together as part of EBC’s Big Brake Kits). Depending on the level of experience of the applicant there is also opportunity to get involved with our in-house brake caliper machining operation, programming our 4-axis pallet loading CNC milling machines.

EBC Brakes Racing is a dynamic but small team and the successful applicant will be an integral and valued member, key to meeting our ambitious targets for new product development. Working closely with the CAD Design Engineers and Product Development Engineers, the position will get ‘hands on’ with developing performance brake systems, working with likeminded individuals who have a passion for automotive engineering and for producing products that stand out from the competition.
