CNC Designer (CAD/CAM & Solidworks)

Position Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled CNC Design Designer with strong experience in creating, developing, and optimizing CNC machining programs using CAD/CAM software and SolidWorks.

The ideal candidate will design precise 2D and 3D models, convert them into CNC toolpaths, and ensure efficient manufacturing with high accuracy and minimal waste.

Key Responsibilities

1. CAD/CAM Design & Programming

• Create detailed 2D drawings and 3D models for machining components.
• Develop CNC toolpaths using CAD/CAM software (e.g., Mastercam, Fusion 360, Edgecam).
• Convert designs into machine-ready programs.
• Optimize cutting strategies to reduce time, improve surface finish, and minimize tool wear.

2. SolidWorks Design

• Produce complex assemblies and part models using SolidWorks.
• Prepare technical drawings with dimensions, tolerances, and material specifications.
• Ensure compatibility between SolidWorks designs and CNC machining capabilities.

3. CNC Machine Integration

• Collaborate with CNC operators and machinists to ensure accurate execution of designs.
• Provide setup sheets, tooling instructions, and machining notes.
• Adjust toolpaths based on machine type (Fanuc, Siemens, Haas, etc.).

4. Quality & Technical Support

• Conduct feasibility studies and analyze manufacturability.
• Troubleshoot program issues and correct design errors.
• Maintain precision and quality in all produced models and machining programs.

5. Documentation & Project Management

• Maintain digital libraries of CNC programs, drawings, and versions.
• Update job files, technical specifications, and revision reports.
• Work closely with production, engineering, and R&D teams.

Requirements

Education

• Diploma or bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Design, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field.

Experience

• 2–5 years experience in CNC design and CAD/CAM programming.
• Proven experience designing parts and generating CNC programs from concept to final machining.

Technical Skills

• Strong proficiency in:
• CAD/CAM software (Mastercam, Fusion 360, Edgecam, etc.)
• SolidWorks 2D/3D modeling
• G-code understanding
• CNC machining principles and materials
• Toolpath strategies and optimization
• Reading and creating technical drawings
