CAD/CAM Programmer

Job Summary:

The CAD/CAM Programmer will be responsible for developing and implementing detailed design plans for manufacturing processes using CAD and CAM software. This role requires proficiency in creating digital models, generating machine tool paths, and ensuring that designs are optimised for production. The CAD/CAM Programmer will work closely with engineers, machinists, and production teams to ensure smooth production flows and high-quality outputs.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and Modeling:
• Use CAD software (such as SolidWorks, AutoCAD, CATIA, or Inventor) to create, modify, and optimize 3D models and technical drawings based on project requirements.
• Translate conceptual designs into workable manufacturing specifications.
• Ensure that designs comply with technical, safety, and industry standards.
• Programming:
• Develop VMC programs for machining operations (milling, turning, etc.) using CAM software (such as Mastercam).
• Generate tool paths, simulate machining processes, and verify program accuracy.
• Modify and adjust programs based on machine feedback or design changes.
• Collaboration:
• Work closely with engineers and product designers to translate design concepts into manufacturable products.
• Assist in creating prototypes and making adjustments based on real-world testing.
• Collaborate with machinists and production teams to ensure designs are feasible and optimized for machine operations.
• Quality Control:
• Ensure that CAD models and CNC programs meet quality standards and manufacturing tolerances.
• Perform regular checks on machine setups and manufacturing processes to ensure consistent quality output.
• Address and troubleshoot any issues during the production process.
• Documentation & Reporting:
• Maintain and update CAD/CAM files, records, and documentation.
• Provide detailed instructions, machine setups, and tooling lists for production.
• Maintain records of changes made to design or program and communicate these effectively to the team.
• Continuous Improvement:
• Stay updated on the latest CAD/CAM software tools, manufacturing technologies, and industry best practices.
• Recommend and implement process improvements for increased efficiency and reduced production costs.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• Education:
• Associate's degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Technology, or a related field.
• Certification in CAD/CAM programming or similar technical certification preferred.
• Experience:
• Minimum of 2-3 years of experience in CAD/CAM programming for CNC machines.
• Experience with CNC machining processes, tool path generation, and machine operation is highly preferred.
• Technical Skills:
• Proficient in CAD software (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, CATIA, or similar).
• Proficient in CAM software (Mastercam, Fusion 360, GibbsCAM, etc.).
• Familiarity with CNC machine programming and G-code.
• Strong understanding of machining methods, tooling, and material properties.
• Soft Skills:
• Excellent problem-solving abilities and attention to detail.
• Strong communication skills to work with cross-functional teams.
• Ability to work independently and manage time effectively in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong analytical skills for troubleshooting machine and design issues.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with 5-axis CNC programming.
• Familiarity with additional software tools (such as Siemens NX, Creo, or PTC).
• Knowledge of additive manufacturing (3D printing) and other advanced manufacturing technologies.

Physical Requirements:

• Ability to work in a manufacturing environment, including standing for long periods, lifting moderate loads, and working with machinery.

Work Environment:

• Typically works in a machine shop, manufacturing facility, or office-based environment.
• May occasionally require overtime or weekend work depending on production schedules.
