Role Overview

As a CAD/CAM Technician, you will be responsible for creating precise toolpaths, optimizing machining strategies, and programming CNC machines using SolidCAM with a strong emphasis on 4th-axis programming. You will work closely with the production and design teams to translate engineering drawings into efficient, high-quality machining processes while ensuring optimal cycle times, tool life, and safety standards.

Key Responsibilities

- CAM Programming: Develop, verify, and optimize advanced CNC programs using SolidCAM, specifically focusing on complex 4th-axis indexing and simultaneous machining operations.

- CAD & Drawing Interpretation: Interpret complex engineering drawings, 3D models, and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T;) specifications to determine manufacturing feasibility.

- Tool & Fixture Selection: Select appropriate cutting tools, holders, and design/choose efficient workholding fixtures for multi-axis setups.

- Process Optimization: Reduce cycle times and improve surface finishes while maintaining rigorous quality control and dimensional accuracy.

- Troubleshooting & Support: Troubleshoot machining issues on the shop floor, assist machine operators with setup sheets, and modify programs as required during trial runs.

- Documentation: Maintain accurate documentation of programs,



process sheets, and tool lists for recurring and new production parts.

Requirements

Required Qualifications & Skills

- Education: Diploma or Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Production Engineering, or a related field (ITI candidates with exceptionally strong practical experience may also be considered).

- Experience: 3 to 6 years of hands-on experience in CNC programming and operations within a precision manufacturing or automotive component setting.

- Software Expertise: Proven, hands-on proficiency in SolidCAM and CAD software (such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or similar).

- Technical Knowledge: Strong expertise in 4th-axis programming, setup, and machining strategies. In-depth understanding of cutting parameters, tool selection, and material behaviors (steels, aluminum, alloy metals, etc.).

- Problem-Solving: Excellent analytical and troubleshooting skills with a keen eye for detail.
