As a CAD/CAM Programmer, you will contribute to the development and optimization of our new CNC machining program. This role focuses on programming with Autodesk Fusion and using AI-assisted tools to enhance machining efficiency through Design for Manufacturability (DFM) checks, toolpath creation, and tabbing strategies for both 3+2 and 5-axis operations. You’ll play a key role in shaping our approach to CNC machining by combining strong CAD/CAM programming skills with curiosity and adaptability. Ideal candidates are eager to learn, experiment, and contribute new ideas that drive continuous improvement.
