Cam Engineer

We are looking for a skilled CAM Engineer(3-6 years) to prepare and optimize CNC machining operations. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with CAM software, understand manufacturing processes, and be able to translate engineering drawings into efficient, accurate machining programs.

Key Responsibilities:

1

• Prepare CNC machining operations for milling, turning, drilling, and other processes.
  
• Use CAM software (CAMWorks, Mastercam, SolidWorks CAM, or FeatureCAM) to generate toolpaths and optimize machining sequences.
  
• Verify and simulate toolpaths to ensure collision-free machining.
  
• Implement improvements in machining efficiency, cycle time, and quality.
  

2.Cross-functional Collaboration

• Work with design, production, and quality teams to ensure manufacturability and cost-effectiveness.
  
• Contribute to digital manufacturing initiatives, including digital twins or virtual machining simulations.
  

Additional Automation skills

3

• Collaborate with software teams to integrate CAM automation into PLM, ERP, or MES systems.
  
• Use Generative AI or rule-based systems for automatic quotation, setup sheet generation, or machining plan creation.
  
• Develop or use AI-driven tools for feature recognition, toolpath optimization, and cycle time prediction.
  

Technical skills:

• Hands-on experience with CAM software (CAMWorks, Mastercam, Siemens NX, or SolidWorks CAM).
  
• Strong understanding of CNC machining processes, machine tools, and tooling.
  
• Knowledge of materials, cutting speeds, feeds, and tolerances.
  
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and CAD models (preferably SOLIDWORKS).
  
• Problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
  
• Good communication and teamwork skills.
  

Automation skills

• Familiarity with AI tools or libraries
  
• exposure to AI/ML applications or automation projects is a strong plus.
  
• Exposure to AI-assisted quoting or machining process tools
  

Soft Skills

• Strong problem-solving and analytical thinking.
  
• Ability to communicate technical details to non-technical teams.
  
• Continuous learning mindset toward AI and manufacturing innovation.
  

Requirements

• Education:

  B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical, Production, or Mechatronics Engineering.

• Experience:

  36 years in CAM programming or manufacturing process development.
• Exposure to AI/ML applications or automation projects is a strong plus.
