Fusion 360 CAM Expert - Production-Ready Grading (Remote)

Weekday AI; United States; Remote; USD 165,000 - 241,000; Part time

Job summary

Weekday AI is seeking a CAM Programming Expert to develop rigorous, text-based grading rubrics for Fusion 360 CAM across diverse CAD models and machining scenarios. You will assess stock material, machine capabilities, tooling, toolpaths, and setups to distinguish production-ready CAM programs from unsafe options.

Ideal candidates have 5+ years in CAM, heavy Fusion 360 experience, and strong written English.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional CAM programming experience in CNC manufacturing or closely related field.
• Extensive hands-on experience with Fusion 360 CAM, including access to an active Fusion 360 license.
• Ability to program and evaluate 4-axis and/or 5-axis CNC toolpaths.
• Strong understanding of CNC machining processes, tooling, workholding, setups, feeds and speeds, and toolpath strategy.
• Proven production judgment and the ability to distinguish between CAM programs that are technically plausible and those that can be safely and reliably executed on a production machine.
• Strong attention to detail and analytical thinking.
• Excellent written English communication skills, as all deliverables will be text-based.

Responsibilities

• Create 10-criterion grading rubrics for evaluating Fusion 360 CAM programs across various CAD models and machining scenarios.
• Assess CAM solutions based on stock material, machine capabilities, tooling, toolpaths, and setup requirements.
• Develop clear, objective, and verifiable criteria that can consistently distinguish production-ready CAM programs.
• Provide detailed verification rationale explaining why each grading criterion matters and how it should be evaluated.
• Review sample CAM programs and determine whether they meet defined production standards.
• Document the technical reasoning behind pass/fail decisions clearly.
• Identify potential safety, machining, tooling, or process issues that could prevent execution on a real CNC machine.
