SolidCAM CNC Programmer

We are looking for a SolidCAM CNC Programmer who is highly skilled, detail-oriented, and passionate about precision machining. The ideal candidate should be able to independently convert complex 3D models into efficient machining strategies for Brother Speedio S700BD1 (4-axis) and M300XD1-5AX (5-axis) machines while ensuring top-quality surface finish and tight tolerances. This is a hands-on, impact-driven role and is critical to the development of our high-precision medical instruments. ⸻ Key Responsibilities CNC Programming & Machining * Create optimized toolpaths in SolidCAM for 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis machining using iMachining, HSM, and Multi-axis strategies. * Select appropriate tools, speeds, feeds, stepovers, and machining strategies to achieve required tolerances and finishes. * Simulate and verify programs to eliminate collisions, gouges, and tool breakage risks. * Generate NC code specific to Brother Speedio machines and verify post-processing outputs. Manufacturing Execution * Work closely with CNC operators to ensure correct setup, work offsets, and fixture alignment. * Assist in setting up jigs, fixtures, vises, tombstones, and custom work-holding solutions. * Validate part dimensions using micrometers, calipers, height gauges, and CMM workflows. * Optimize cycle times without compromising accuracy or tool life. Quality & Continuous Improvement * Troubleshoot machining issues such as chatter, poor finish, tool wear, and dimensional inaccuracies. * Improve machining strategies for repeat jobs and update best-practice libraries inside SolidCAM. * Participate in DFM (Design for Manufacturability) discussions with the engineering team. Documentation & Workflow * Maintain organized CAM files, revisions, tool lists, setup sheets, and machining notes. * Create clear machining documentation for operators. ⸻ Required Skills & Experience * 3–8 years of experience in CNC Programming, preferably on high-speed machines like Brother Speedio. * Strong expertise in SolidCAM, especially iMachining, HSM, and multi-axis modules. * Experience machining aluminum, stainless steel, tool steels, engineering plastics, acrylic, etc. * Ability to read complex 2D drawings and 3D CAD models (STEP, IGES, Parasolid). * Strong understanding of cutting tools (endmills, ballnose, form tools, drills, inserts). * Ability to machine parts within tolerances of ±10–20 microns when required. * Good understanding of work offsets, G-code, probing cycles, and Brother-specific functions. * Strong problem-solving ability and a high sense of responsibility. ⸻ Preferred (Bonus) Skills * Experience with 5-axis simultaneous machining. * Familiarity with SolidCAM machine simulation and template-based programming. * Exposure to high-precision industries: aerospace, medical devices, optics, robotics, etc. * Experience designing basic fixtures in CAD (SolidWorks/Fusion360). * Knowledge of MCD tools, micro-finishing strategies, and mirror-finish machining. ⸻ Who Will Succeed in This Role * Someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-precision environment. * Someone who takes full ownership and ensures jobs are delivered correctly and on time. * Someone who wants to contribute to building cutting-edge medical machines that will be used across the world. * Someone who believes “good enough” is never good enough
