About the role

This is a one-time project; the work transitions back to our internal team at the end of the engagement.
Use our existing post-processors, machine definitions, tool libraries, and templates - these are mature and reliable.
Post programs for the Haas GM-1 (3-axis gantry mill).

We're hiring a CAM Programmer on a 3-5 week contract to support the in-house bring-up of our program at Dado.
Our in-house CAM team is producing ~27 of the ~65 new mods; we need a hands-on contractor to deliver the remaining 38, prove them out on our Haas GM-1, and formally train our production techs in the process.
Train our team. Deliver formal, documented training to our production technicians and other CAM programmers - covering running programs, adjusting setups, troubleshooting, and SolidWorks CAM fundamentals.
Hands-on CNC machining experience, including comfort running your own code at the machine and troubleshooting alongside operators.
We believe that having a diversity of backgrounds and experiences strengthens all of us, and we strive to create an environment where every one of us is empowered to create meaningful change.

Setup sheets, tool lists, and work holding instructions are required deliverables, not optional.
5+ years of hands-on CAM programming experience in a production machining environment.
Prior experience formally training production technicians or other programmers.

Direct experience programming the Haas GM-1.
Experience machining graphite, ceramic, refractory, or other high-temperature / unusual materials.
Experience working with early-stage hard-tech or startup manufacturing environments where the CAM environment is still being formalized.
Familiarity with Arena PLM and shop-floor MES systems (Manufacturo or equivalent)
