CAM Programmer

Tata Electronics (TEPL); Krishnagiri District; On-site; INR 900,000 - 1,500,000; Full time

Job summary

Tata Electronics (TEPL) seeks an experienced CAM Programmer to design and optimize CAM programmes for 3D model-based manufacturing. You will define cutting tools and strategies, generate NC code, and validate tool paths through simulations against 2D drawings.

The role requires NX CAM expertise, familiarity with NX CAD, and GD&T knowledge. Prior CNC experience and FANUC controller exposure are essential for on-site operations in India.

Qualifications

• Proficiency with CAM software and NX CAM for 3D model-based programming.
• Knowledge of GD&T and tooling selection for CAM processes.
• Experience in CNC environments and NC code generation.

Responsibilities

• Conceptualizes CAM programme operations for each 3D model on the software.
• Defines cutting tools and strategies, mapping tools to stages.
• Generates CAM programmes, runs tool-path simulations, and generates NC code.
• Verifies NC output with simulations and validates against drawings.
• Creates setup sheets and work instructions for CNC operators.
• Supports process engineers and provides corrective actions as needed.

Job description

Role & responsibilities

• Conceptualizes CAM programme operations (for each 3D model) on the software
• Defines cutting tools on the software, based on the CAM programme
• Selects cutting tools as per the 3D model profiles and maps the tools to each stage in the CAM programme operations on the software
• Defines cutting strategies and parameters on the software
• Generates the CAM programme and verifies the same on the software - Runs the tool path simulation based on the generated CAM programme
• Generates NC code from post-processor file
• Performs NC code simulation by using NC code output as an input (NC code simulation)
• Runs the CAM programme on the NX 3D virtual machine provided within the software (Virtual simulation) - Validates geometry model (3D model) against 2D drawing received from the process design team/client
• Assembles part geometry in work holding device (fixture) on the NX 3D virtual machine template in the software - Supports process engineers in implementing CAM programme for part generation on the CNC machine - Analyzes QC reports and decides corrective actions
• Implements corrective actions and conducts reiterations - Creates set up sheets (including tool information) and work instructions (sequence of operations with respect to NC code) to be used by CNC operators

Preferred candidate profile

• Diploma in Mechanical/Production/Mechatronics/Automobile
• B.E in Mechanical/Production/Mechatronics/Automobile (preferred) CAM tool 7+ years of experience in NX CAM (B.E)
• 8+ years of experience in NX CAM (Diploma) Knowledge of cutting tools (preferred), knowledge of NX CAD (preferred), knowledge of GD&T (geometrical dimensioning & tolerancing) (mandatory)
• Experience with CNC machines (micro machines) (mandatory), experience with FANUC Controller (preferred)
