Senior CAM Programmer -Mastercam

Role & responsibilities

• Develop and optimize CNC machining programs using CAM software based on 2D drawings and 3D models.
• Generate and modify toolpaths for 3-axis, 4-axis and/or 5-axis machining, as required.
• Prepare CNC programs for VMC/HMC and other CNC machining centres.
• Select appropriate cutting tools, holders, machining strategies, feeds and speeds.
• Interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, tolerances and 3D CAD models.
• Perform toolpath simulation, verification and collision checking before production.
• Optimize programs to reduce machining time, tool wear and material wastage.
• Support CNC setters/operators during first-off component development and prove-out.
• Troubleshoot machining and programming issues and make necessary program modifications.
• Develop and maintain standardized CNC programming methods and documentation.
• Work closely with Production, Tool Room, Quality and Engineering teams to resolve technical issues.
• Ensure programs meet required quality, dimensional accuracy and productivity standards.
• Review and improve existing CNC programs for cycle-time and process optimization.

Required Technical Skills

• Strong hands-on experience in CAM programming.
• Proficiency in Mastercam / NX CAM
• Strong knowledge of CNC machining processes and tooling.
• Good understanding of G-code and M-code.

Knowledge of 3-axis / 4-axis / 5-axis machining will be an added advantage.
