CAM Engineer

Description

• Responsible for the design, development, and fabrication of assembly and inspection fixtures to support manufacturing and quality processes
• Participate in design reviews and provide feedback on manufacturability.
• Responsible for comparing 3D scans with CAD models to identify deviations, validate dimensional accuracy, and propose design or manufacturing improvements.
• Coordinate with suppliers for tooling and machine upgrades.
• Ensure machining processes meet dimensional and surface finish requirements.
• Use, 3D models, 2D drawings, engineering drawings, specifications, bill of materials, and other instructions or procedures to accurately fabricate components.
• Support the development of fabrication protocols for prototype and production builds.
• Responsible for ensuring the network infrastructure is operating reliably to support the secure storage, transfer, and execution of CNC programs on manufacturing equipment.
• Work closely with Industrialization, Ops and design teams to align manufacturing strategies.
• Responsible for preparing program and parameter packages for use in mass production facilities, ensuring they are properly configured, stored, and ready for deployment to manufacturing equipment.
• Designs intelligent systems that minimize manual input by generating machining parameters and CNC code directly from engineering drawings, improving consistency and reducing lead time
• Assist in the selection and maintenance of cutting tools, fixtures, and CNC equipment.
• Document setup sheets, tooling lists, and instructions for repeatability.
• Ensure traceability and version control of CAM files and process documentation.
• Support Lean Manufacturing initiatives and continuous improvement projects.
• Analyze machining data to identify bottlenecks and propose process enhancements.
• Provide technical support and training to CNC operators and technicians.
• Participate in root cause analysis and corrective actions for machining defects.
• Optimize cycle times and tool usage to improve efficiency and reduce waste by using 3D printers and 3D scanners.
• Troubleshoot machining issues and propose corrective actions.
• Collaborate with design engineers, Industrialization Engineer and Ops Lead to ensure manufacturability of parts.
• Translate our SolidWorks drawings to CNC programs using CAM software for all the equipment in Fab Lab
• Responsible for managing the 3D printing of initial prototypes prior to full-scale manufacturing, ensuring design validation.
• Apply DFX (Design for Excellence) IEM principles
• Define tooling paths, machine parameters, and machine setups for various materials and geometries for CNC laser/punch, CNC mill, CNC lathe, CNC Router, CNC Bending machines.

Requirements

• Attention to detail and commitment to quality.
• Strong understanding of CNC principles and G-code.
• +5 years of experience in CAD/CAM/CAE, CNC programming and manufacturing engineering.
• Proficiency in CAD/CAM/CAE software (e.g., SolidWorks, Mastercam, Solid CAM, VPSS, SolidWorks simulation).
• Knowledge of ISO 9001 standards and safety protocols.
• Experience in switchgear or electrical enclosure manufacturing is a plus.
• Effective communication and teamwork abilities.
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering Technology or a related field.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Experience with metal fabrication processes (milling, turning, laser cutting, bending etc.).
