CAM Programming Engineer -- Milling/Turning/Grinding

If you love translating CAD models into precise NC code and proving out first articles that become life-changing medical devices, read on.

• Own CNC programming for milling, turning, and grinding—including multi-spindle, multi-axis, and Swiss-style equipment—supporting multiple sites.
• Analyze drawings and 3D models to define cut paths, choose tooling, and determine speeds/feeds in line with customer specs, shop standards, and machine limits.
• Drive DFM and process development with cross-functional teams, internally and externally.
• Continuously improve: remove program errors, adopt new tooling and methods, and standardize legacy programs to current best practices to hit delivery dates.
• Collaborate with Quality Engineering to build Process Control Plans, Manufacturing Inspection Plans, and define gaging/fixturing needs.
• Perform machine setups for first-article and short-run NPI parts; occasionally support small production runs.
• Design fixtures to streamline post-processing.
• Adhere to the TOMZ Quality Management System and assist wherever needed.

• Associate degree in a technical/scientific field or equivalent experience.
• At least 5 years programming CNCs and performing setups in medical device manufacturing (or similar regulated precision manufacturing).
• Strong command of NC code, tooling, and manufacturing processes.
• CAD/CAM proficiency; SolidWorks and Esprit are preferred.
• Fluent in blueprint reading and GD&T.
• Excellent communication skills with internal stakeholders and external partners.
• Analytical mindset with the logic and reasoning needed to solve complex problems.

• Ability to bend, stoop, squat, kneel, and lift up to 50 lbs; team or mechanical assistance required beyond 50 lbs.
• Exposure to oil, grease, noise, cleaning solvents, dust, metal particles, sparks, coolant, and sharp edges; PPE (safety glasses, dust masks, ear plugs, cut-resistant or chemical-resistant gloves) and engineering controls may be required.
• Regular keyboard entry with potential frequent computer use.
