CAM Programmer

This organization develops and manufactures complex precision components and systems for demanding industries such as semiconductor, electronics, automation, and high-tech equipment manufacturing. The environment combines cutting-edge engineering with a modern production facility where innovation, precision, and continuous improvement are central to daily operations.

As a CAM Programmer, you will play a key role in translating complex designs into highly optimized machining processes. You will work closely with Manufacturing Engineers, CNC Machinists, Quality Engineers, and R&D teams to bring high-precision parts from prototype to production. This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys technical ownership, advanced machining strategies, and working in a dynamic high-mix, low-volume manufacturing environment.

Your Role

As CAM Programmer, you will be responsible for developing and optimizing CNC machining programs for complex precision parts and assemblies. You will work on both prototype and production projects, ensuring manufacturability, quality, and process efficiency throughout the entire machining process.

You will not only create CAM programs, but also contribute directly to:

• machining strategy development,
• tooling and fixture selection,
• process validation,
• quality verification,
• and continuous improvement initiatives.

The position offers a broad technical scope with strong exposure to advanced manufacturing engineering and process development.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and optimize CNC programs for 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis machining operations
• Create efficient machining strategies for complex precision components
• Work with advanced CAD/CAM software to translate engineering designs into manufacturable processes
• Support prototype manufacturing and New Product Introduction (NPI) projects
• Select tooling, cutting parameters, and machining methods to maximize quality and efficiency
• Validate machining programs directly on the machine
• Analyze and resolve machining challenges related to tolerances, surface finish, tooling, and cycle times
• Collaborate closely with CNC operators, engineers, and quality teams
• Support process improvements and manufacturing optimization initiatives
• Contribute to process documentation and standardization
• Assist in quality control activities including CMM verification and dimensional analysis

The Working Environment

You will join a modern and highly automated production environment equipped with advanced CNC machinery and state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies.

The organization is known for:

• high technical complexity,
• short development cycles,
• strong engineering culture,
• and continuous innovation.

Projects often involve highly precise components with demanding tolerances and challenging geometries. This creates an environment where technical expertise and continuous learning are highly valued.

You will work alongside experienced specialists in machining, manufacturing engineering, automation, and quality assurance while contributing directly to the development of next-generation high-tech products.

Growth & Development

This position offers strong long-term career opportunities for professionals who want to further develop within advanced manufacturing and engineering.

Potential growth paths include:

• Senior CAM Programmer
• Manufacturing Engineer
• Process Engineer
• NPI Engineer
• Advanced Machining Specialist
