CAD Designer/ CNC Programmer

Job Description

Job DescriptionDescription:

Position Summary: We’re seeking a detail-oriented and tech-savvy CNC Machinist to operate high-performance Haas CNC machines, program using Fusion 360, and leverage both 4th-axis rotary machining and additive (3D printing) capabilities to produce precision components. Ideal candidates will demonstrate strong programming skills, precision machining practices, and a deep understanding of both subtractive and additive workflows.

Requirements:

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

• Interpret blueprints, CAD models, and complete reverse-engineering of surgical instruments to develop accurate machining strategies.
• Program CNC operations using Fusion 360 CAM, including 2.5 to 4 axis toolpaths and customized Haas-compatible post-processing.
• Set up and operate Haas CNC machines, including installation of tooling, fixtures, and managing machine setup.
• Execute machining utilizing 4th-axis rotation, including sophisticated operations around a rotary axis.
• Program and run repetitive operations using canned cycles (e.g., drilling, tapping, pocketing).
• Oversee 3D printing workflows, including slicing and generating G-code for additive manufacturing tasks.
• Measure and inspect finished parts with tools such as micrometers, calipers, and surface testers to ensure tolerance and finish integrity.
• Perform routine machine maintenance, troubleshoot programming or mechanical issues, and implement adjustments to maintain product quality.
• Collaborate effectively with engineers, programmers, and quality teams to optimize production and support continuous improvement efforts.

Required Qualifications

• Proven experience programming and operating Haas CNC machines.
• Proficiency with Fusion 360 CAM, including post-processor configuration for Haas and multi-axis operations.
• Hands-on experience with 4th-axis or rotary table machining.
• Familiarity with 3D printing technologies and the generation of G-code from slicers.
• Solid understanding of G-code, including G- and M-codes, and experience with canned cycles (e.g., G81–G89).
• Strong grasp of machinist terminology such as roughing, finishing, speeds and feeds, tool offsets, and cutter compensation.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and CAD/CAM models accurately.
• Excellent problem-solving skills, strong attention to detail, and adherence to safety practices.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in disassembling, measuring, and drawing surgical instruments components, including tight-tolerance components, and surgical-grade materials (e.g., stainless steel, titanium).
• Familiarity with hybrid additive–subtractive workflows or HASM processes.
• Experience designing and implementing fixtures and jigs for complex multi-axis machining tasks.
• Comfortable creating or customizing Haas post-processors within Fusion 360.
• 3D Printing experience
