Employment prospect of numerical control technology specialty

Employees in the CNC industry can be roughly divided into three levels: 1, blue-collar level: namely, CNC operation technicians, who are proficient in mechanical processing and CNC machining process knowledge, master the operation and manual programming of CNC machine tools, and understand the automatic programming and simple maintenance of CNC machine tools. There is a great market demand for this kind of personnel, and they are suitable to be CNC machine tool operators in the workshop. But because of their simple knowledge, their wages will not be very high. 2. Gray collar layer: 1. CNC programmer: master the knowledge of CNC machining process and CNC machine tool operation, be familiar with the professional knowledge of complex mold design and manufacturing, and master 3D CAD/CAM software, such as UG and Pro/E; Familiar with CNC automatic programming and manual programming technology. This kind of personnel is in great demand, especially in the mold industry, and the treatment is also very high. Secondly, the maintenance personnel of CNC machine tools: master the mechanical structure and electromechanical debugging of CNC machine tools, master the operation and programming of CNC machine tools, and be familiar with the characteristics of various CNC systems, software and hardware structures, PLC and parameter settings. Proficient in electromechanical debugging and maintenance of CNC machine tools. The demand for such personnel is relatively small, but it is very difficult to train such personnel, which requires a lot of practical experience accumulation. At present, it is very scarce and the treatment is high. 3. Gold collar layer: it belongs to the NC generalist, has and is proficient in the comprehensive knowledge needed by NC operation technicians, NC programmers and NC maintenance personnel, and has accumulated a lot of practical experience and a wide range of knowledge in practical work. Proficient in the mechanical structure design of CNC machine tools and the electrical design of CNC system, and master the electromechanical alignment of CNC machine tools. Can complete the selection of CNC system, the design, installation, debugging and maintenance of electrical system of CNC machine tools. Can independently complete the numerical control transformation of machine tools. He is a sought-after talent in enterprises (especially private enterprises) and is well paid. Mold design, CAD/CAM engineer, NC programming, NC machining, etc. It is one of the positions with the highest recruitment frequency in the talent market in China. Senior technicians in China are facing the grim situation of "green and yellow". Old technicians are old, middle-aged technicians are few, and young technicians are not mature yet. In the manufacturing industry, talents who can skillfully operate modern machine tools are scarce. According to statistics, at present, among skilled workers in China, senior technicians account for 3.5%, intermediate workers account for 35% and junior workers account for 60%. Among the skilled workers in developed countries, senior workers account for 35%, intermediate workers account for 50% and junior workers account for 15%. With the adjustment of industrial layout and product structure, the employment structure will also change. The demand of enterprises for higher-level first-line applied talents will increase significantly.
