CNC Programmer (Offline / CAM)

Role

As an Offline CNC Programmer, you will be at the core of iCOMAT’s advanced manufacturing capability. Working from a CAD/CAM workstation, you will transform CAD models and customer drawings into robust, repeatable CNC programs, toolpaths and tooling strategies that deliver precision, efficiency, and first‑time‑right quality, so our shop floor runs continuously while the next job is already prepared.

What Will You Be Doing

• Analyse and interpret CAD models and drawings to develop offline machining strategies in CAM software.
• Build toolpaths and post‑processed CNC programs offline using CAM software, including 3‑to‑5‑axis machining, and design the associated fixtures and tooling.
• Select tools, speeds and feeds.
• Run full offline simulations (toolpath verification, collision and gouge checks, post‑processor validation) before any program reaches the machine.
• Drive process improvements.
• Collaborate with engineering and production teams.
• Maintain detailed documentation.
• Hand programs to the shop floor, train and support CNC operators and setters, and own program revisions through the part lifecycle.

What You’ll Bring

• Proven experience as an offline CNC programmer (building programs at a CAM workstation) including 3‑to‑5‑axis machining.
• Proficiency in CAD/CAM software (CATIA, Mastercam, Siemens NX CAM, PowerMill, Esprit or equivalent) and a solid working knowledge of G‑code, M‑code and post‑processor configuration.
• Strong understanding of machining processes, tooling, fixturing and materials, with hands‑on experience running toolpath simulations and validating posts before release to the floor.
• High attention to detail.
• Strong problem‑solving skills.
• Clear communication and teamwork.
• Ability to work in a fast‑paced environment.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and benefits, including private healthcare and a pension scheme.
• Stock options – equity options to give employees a stake in the company’s success.
• Career growth opportunities – professional growth in the rapidly advancing field of composite materials.
• Innovation‑focused culture – inclusive, forward‑thinking work environment recognized by Bloomberg as a “UK Startup to Watch”.
• Global impact – opportunity to work with leading companies in automotive, aerospace and space industries.
