CAM Programmer, Fusion 360

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in New York.

📋 Description

• Evaluate CAM programs created using Autodesk Fusion 360

• Analyze machining strategies in relation to CAD models, stock, machine setups, and tooling

• Review toolpath selection, sequencing, parameters, and overall machining approaches

• Identify programming decisions that are unsafe, inefficient, or technically unsuitable

• Review and assess 4-axis and 5-axis CNC toolpaths

• Evaluate tool orientation, indexing, simultaneous machining strategies, and machine accessibility

• Detect collisions, clearance issues, and problematic machine movements

• Assess setups for practical production feasibility

• Develop structured 10-criterion grading rubrics for Fusion 360 CAM programs

• Formulate objective, text-based, and independently verifiable evaluation criteria

• Evaluate tooling choices, feeds and speeds, workholding, stock, and machining sequences

• Review various machining operations including roughing, finishing, drilling, and contouring

• Confirm collision avoidance, tool reach, machine limits, setup constraints, and production workflows

• Document verification rationale for each rubric criterion

• Review sample CAM solutions and articulate pass/fail results

• Identify gaps in information or assumptions impacting machining feasibility

• Assess evaluation criteria for clarity, objectivity, and technical precision

⛳️ Requirements

• Over 5 years of professional CAM programming experience

• Extensive hands-on experience with Autodesk Fusion 360 CAM

• Current access to a Fusion 360 license

• Proven ability to program 4-axis and/or 5-axis CNC toolpaths

• Strong practical knowledge of CNC machining, tooling, workholding, setups, and production limitations

• Capability to determine whether a CAM program would operate safely and reliably on a real machine

• Experience in interpreting CAD models and converting them into effective machining strategies

• Solid understanding of collision avoidance, machine limits, tool accessibility, and process sequencing

• Exceptional written English skills and the ability to clearly explain technical decisions

🏝️ Benefits

• Flexible scheduling based on project needs

• Fully remote working environment

• Opportunities for projects to be extended, shortened, or concluded according to project needs and performance
