Cam engineer (computer-aided manufacturing), ai design integration

SoftAge Information Technology Limited · Bengaluru, India

Job Title: CAM Engineer (Computer-Aided Manufacturing), AI Design Integration

Location: Bengaluru

Type: Full-Time

Experience: 5+ years

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced CAM/CNC expert with deep knowledge of CNC programming, machining strategies, and manufacturing processes. In this role, you will apply your expertise to develop, review, and optimize machining strategies, toolpaths, and CNC programs, ensuring technically accurate and production-ready solutions.

What You'll Do

● Create and review data grounded in real CAM and CNC milling practice, toolpaths, process plans, tooling and fixturing decisions.

● Evaluate AI-generated machining solutions (toolpaths, strategies, DFM feedback) and flag failure modes: collisions, gouges, poor engagement, unrealistic cycle times.

● Break complex machining and process-planning tasks into structured workflows the model can learn from and be measured against.

Domain Responsibilities

● Develop and assess CNC milling programs from 2.5-axis through 5-axis simultaneous, judging correctness and efficiency of toolpaths.

● Define and review machining strategies, tool selection, fixturing, and cutting parameters against quality, cost, and cycle-time targets.

● Perform virtual toolpath verification and collision detection; assess post-processing to specific machine controllers.

● Give sharp DFM feedback and predict whether a strategy survives contact with real production.

Requirements

Must Have

● B. E./B. Tech in Mechanical Engineering (or related) from a Tier 1/Tier 2 institute.

● 5+ years of hands-on CAM programming with deep CNC milling mastery, across materials (aluminium, steel, titanium, composites), machine types (3-axis through 5-axis machining centres), and both prototype and volume environments.

● Command of a leading CAM package (Mastercam, NX CAM, Fusion 360, Power Mill, or Esprit).

● Strong grasp of machining processes, cutting tools, GD& T, and metrology; fluent reading of complex drawings.

Good to Have

● 5-axis simultaneous machining and post-processor development.

● Mill-turn / Swiss-type exposure.

● Python or tool-specific scripting/macros; CMM programming.
