Multi-Axis CAM Toolpath and Training Specialist
Job Description
This IXO track focuses on the reasoning that turns a part design into a safe, efficient and well-documented machining plan. You will use advanced CAM experience to build and assess toolpaths, explain strategy decisions, and turn feedback from machining and inspection into better outputs.
Work you will do
• Create Fusion 360 toolpaths for 3-, 4• and 5-axis work, including complex milling and turning across metals and plastics.
• Simulate machining to locate collisions, gouging and unnecessary cycle time, then revise the strategy to suit tolerance, material and equipment.
• Configure and document post-processors for relevant machines, including Haas or Makera platforms.
• Produce setup sheets, tooling lists and strategy notes, and write practical walkthroughs or training explanations.
• Use first-part and inspection feedback to refine programs and explain the reasons for each important change.
Preferred background
• At least 5 years of hands-on CAM programming and demonstrated Fusion 360 proficiency.
• A portfolio or samples showing multi-axis strategy and programming ability.
• Strong GD&T, DFM and post-processor knowledge, with experience across materials such as aluminum, stainless steel, titanium and plastics.
• Clear technical English, careful documentation and experience explaining CAM techniques.
• Courses, tutorials, mentoring or other instructional-content experience.
Deliverables
Verified toolpaths, post-processor notes, complete setup documentation and understandable CAM learning material.
