CAM Programmer Eindhoven

As a CAM Programmer, you will play a key role in translating complex designs into highly optimized machining processes. You will work closely with Manufacturing Engineers, CNC Machinists, Quality Engineers, and R&D teams to bring high-precision parts from prototype to production. This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys technical ownership, advanced machining strategies, and working in a dynamic high-mix, low-volume manufacturing environment.

Your Role

As CAM Programmer, you will be responsible for developing and optimizing CNC machining programs for complex precision parts and assemblies. You will work on both prototype and production projects, ensuring manufacturability, quality, and process efficiency throughout the entire machining process.

You will not only create CAM programs, but also contribute directly to:

• machining strategy development,
• tooling and fixture selection,
• process validation,
• quality verification,
• and continuous improvement initiatives.

The position offers a broad technical scope with strong exposure to advanced manufacturing engineering and process development.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and optimize CNC programs for 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis machining operations
• Create efficient machining strategies for complex precision components
• Work with advanced CAD/CAM software to translate engineering designs into manufacturable processes
• Support prototype manufacturing and New Product Introduction (NPI) projects
• Select tooling, cutting parameters, and machining methods to maximize quality and efficiency
• Validate machining programs directly on the machine
• Analyze and resolve machining challenges related to tolerances, surface finish, tooling, and cycle times
• Collaborate closely with CNC operators, engineers, and quality teams
• Support process improvements and manufacturing optimization initiatives
• Contribute to process documentation and standardization
• Assist in quality control activities including CMM verification and dimensional analysis
