CAD​/CAM Programmer

Responsibilities

• Develop CNC programs using CAD/CAM software for parts provided by customers
• Simulate complete machining processes to estimate cycle times, tool paths, and material removal rates
• Integrate MAPAL cutting tools—including solid carbide, PCD, ISO, fine boring, and actuating tools—into simulations
• Collaborate with Process Engineers to validate machining strategies and tooling selections
• Work with Fixture Specialists to ensure tool paths avoid interference and accommodate work holding constraints
• Optimize programs for efficiency, tool life, and surface finish
• Generate setup sheets, tool lists, and simulation reports for internal and customer use
• Maintain a library of machining templates and tool data for reuse and standardization
• Support trials, prove‑outs, and troubleshooting as needed

• Associate or Bachelor’s degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field
• 3+ years of experience in CAD/CAM programming and machining simulation
• Proficiency in CAM software such as Mastercam Hyper Mill, Siemens NX, Creo CAM, or Autodesk Fusion 360
• Experience with 2D/3D CAD tools such as BricsCAD and Creo
• Strong understanding of CNC machining principles, cutting tool technology, and G-code
• Familiarity with MAPAL tooling or similar high-performance cutting tools
• Ability to interpret complex part drawings and process documentation
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills
• Experience simulating machining processes for automotive, aerospace, or fluid power components
