(AZ)CAM Programmer - Execution

Hadrian Automation • Mesa, AZ

2d • Hybrid

About The Position

CAM Execution is a hybrid Process Engineering role operating at the intersection of CAM programming, applications engineering and inspection. The team is responsible for diagnosing, troubleshooting, and resolving failures across the full manufacturing process, ensuring that programmed intent translates into reliable, repeatable production outcomes. This role works across CNC programs, machine setups, CMM inspection, GD&T interpretation, operator workflows and cutting tool applications to identify where breakdowns occur and implement robust, production-grade fixes. It is a process ownership role focused on end-to-end manufacturing stability.

Requirements

• 5+ years programming aerospace parts
• Ability to decompose complex, multi-variable manufacturing issues and converge on root cause quickly.
• Capable of implementing effective solutions in high-complexity environments.
• Has a track record of successfully machining difficult parts with stringent requirements.
• Understands the pitfalls of operation selection, material removal, tooling application, and material science.
• Has applicable experience with a variety of machine types (mills, lathes), materials (alum, stainless, hard metals), tooling application, workholding, and fixture design.
• Strong understanding of GD&T and engineering print reading.
• Clear and effective written and verbal communication.
• Ability to collaborate across teams and convey technical information accurately.
• Must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with 5-axis milling machines, vertical mill turn and horizontal mill turn.
• Experience with HyperMILL, NX, Heidenhain, Fanuc and Celos
• Hard metal cutting experience (Inconel, Icytough, Stainless)
• Applications engineering for machining processes
• Process Engineering for high production environments including “turnkey” processes

Responsibilities

• Diagnose and correct failures across CNC programs, machine setups, inspection workflows, and on machine cutting parameters.
• Analyze CMM data, validate against customer specifications and GD&T requirements, inspect fixtures, and verify machine processes.
• Implement solutions that are repeatable, simple, and production stable.
• Bridge the gap between CAM programming and shop-floor execution.
• Refine tool paths, machining strategies and cutting parameters based on real-world machine behavior, material response, and inspection feedback.
• Work cross-functionally with CAM Programming, Quality, CMM Programming, Applications, Automation, and Go-To-Market teams to develop informed and aligned process solutions.
• Identify systemic weaknesses in the manufacturing process and drive improvements across the factory.
• Standardize solutions, eliminate recurring issues, and increase overall process robustness.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees
• 401k
• Relocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need.
• Flexible vacation policy
