Cam Programmer

This role will play a crucial part in driving efficiency and accuracy in our manufacturing processes. If you are passionate about programming and have a strong understanding of Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software, then this position might be perfect for you!

Responsibilities:

• Develop and implement efficient CAM programs: Work closely with engineering and production teams to convert 2D and 3D CAD designs into efficient CAM programs using software such as Siemens NX, Mastercam, or Delcam.
• Program complex CNC machines: Create programs that optimize the use of CNC machines by selecting appropriate tool paths, machining strategies, and cutting parameters.
• Conduct feasibility studies: Analyze design specifications, blueprints, and production requirements to determine the feasibility of manufacturing components in terms of tooling, machining processes, and manufacturing times.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams: Liaise with engineers, technicians, and production workers to identify potential manufacturing issues and provide updates on program status and progress.
• Continuous process improvement: Identify areas for process improvement and suggest modifications to optimize CNC machining operations, reduce scrap, enhance productivity, and improve overall manufacturing efficiency.
• Maintain program documentation: Accurately document all programs, updates, revisions, and troubleshooting steps to ensure up-to-date records and ease future referencing.
• Quality assurance: Conduct thorough verification and post-processing checks to ensure accuracy, adherence to quality standards, and compliance with design specifications.
• Training and support: Provide technical support and training to manufacturing personnel on the proper operation and maintenance of CAM program software.

Requirements:

• Education:

  Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Technology, or related discipline.

• CAM software proficiency:

  Strong knowledge and hands-on experience with CAM software such as Siemens NX, Mastercam, SolidCAM, or similar.

• Technical skills:

  Proficiency in CAD tools (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, CATIA, etc.) and good understanding of CNC machining principles and parameters.

• Experience:

  Minimum of 3-5 years of experience as a CAM Programmer in a manufacturing environment.

• Problem-solving abilities:

  Excellent analytical skills to identify and troubleshoot CNC programming issues and propose effective solutions.

• Attention to detail:

  Meticulous approach to work with a focus on precision, accuracy, and adherence to tight tolerances.

• Communication skills:

  Strong verbal and written communication skills to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and articulate technical concepts clearly.

• Adaptability and time management:

  Ability to manage multiple priorities and work towards deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
