Job DescriptionRole Title: CAM ProgrammerRole Type: ContractorLocation: Remotemicro1 is engaging CAM Programmers to contribute expertise on a customer’s project, focusing on developing advanced CNC toolpaths and instructional materials for CAM best practices. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters.

Scope of Work

• Develop precision CAM toolpaths in Autodesk Fusion 360 for 3, 4, and 5-axis CNC machining operations
• Program complex milling and turning geometries across metals and plastics, optimizing for material, tolerance, and machine capabilities
• Simulate and verify toolpaths to identify and resolve potential issues such as collisions, gouging, and inefficient cycle times
• Configure, tune, and document post-processors for various CNC machines (e.g., Haas, Makera)
• Create detailed setup sheets, tool lists, and strategy documentation for downstream manufacturing professionals
• Author clear, instructional content, walkthroughs, or written guidance on CAM programming techniques and best practices
• Incorporate feedback from first-part results and inspection reports to iterate and refine CAM outputs

Preferred Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on CAM programming experience, with demonstrated proficiency in Fusion 360
• Portfolio or sample work highlighting multi-axis programming and toolpath strategy
• Strong understanding of GD&T, DFM principles, and post-processor configuration
• Expertise programming for advanced CNC environments, including experience with a range of materials (aluminum, stainless, titanium, plastics)
