Job description

CNC / CAM Programmer - HyperMill

Hamburg, Germany · Full-time · On-site

About the company

Our client is a fast-growing, well-funded precision manufacturing business. It uses advanced machine tools, automation and in-house software to make high-tolerance components for aerospace, defence and other demanding industries. It is expanding its Hamburg site and hiring several CAM programmers to help scale it.

The role

This is a hands‑on factory role. You take a part from drawing to proven, repeatable production: programme it, prove it and help run it. You'll work on complex, tight‑tolerance parts on high-end 5‑axis and mill‑turn equipment, and help set the programming standards the site is built on.

What you'll do

• Programme, simulate and optimise 3-axis and 5-axis milling in HyperMill
• Prove out first articles to aerospace and defence quality standards
• Choose tooling, cutting parameters and work‑holding for aluminium, steels, titanium and Inconel
• Drive down cycle times and push up machine utilisation
• Build and maintain toolpath libraries, templates and process documentation

What we're looking for

• Strong CAM programming in HyperMill
• A proven record of holding ±0.01 mm or tighter on complex parts
• Experience setting and running high-end machines in production (e.g. Hermle, DMG Mori), ideally across several machines
• A solid grasp of feeds, speeds, tooling strategy and work‑holding, based on reasoning rather than habit
• Confident reading of complex drawings and GD&T

Nice to have

• Aerospace, defence, medical or other high‑precision sector experience
• 5‑axis simultaneous machining
• Titanium and high‑strength alloys
• NC simulation (e.g. Vericut), probing or pallet systems
• German language skills (English‑only applicants considered for exceptional profiles)

What's on offer

• Advanced machine tools and complex, high‑value parts
• The chance to shape programming standards at a growing site
