CAM Programmer

About Isembard

Isembard is rebuilding industrial capacity through a connected network of factories. We bring skilled people, advanced machine tools and our own software, MasonOS, together to make precision components for aerospace, defence, energy and robotics.

The role

CAM programming connects the drawing to repeatable precision production. Our central CAM team in London programmes parts for factories across the network, and how many new parts we can take on depends on it.

You will own programming and machining standards from toolpath to prove-out, support complex parts, and write the methods and libraries other sites reuse. This is a hands-on factory role, with visits to our other UK sites: you programme it, prove it and help run it. The package includes equity.

• Programme, simulate and optimise 3-axis and 5-axis milling.
• Prove out first articles to aerospace and defence standards.
• Choose tooling, cutting parameters and work-holding for aluminium, steels, titanium and Inconel.
• Drive cycle time and machine utilisation.
• Standardise programmes across our UK factories, and maintain toolpath libraries, templates and documentation.

What you bring

• Strong CAM programming in Hypermill (preferred), Mastercam, Siemens NX or equivalent.
• A record of holding ±0.01 mm or tighter.
• Experience setting and running high-end machines such as Hermle or DMG Mori in a multi-machine production environment.
• A solid understanding of feeds, speeds, tooling strategy and work-holding, based on reasoning rather than habit.
• Confident interpretation of complex drawings and GD&T.
• Useful, not essential: aerospace or defence manufacturing, 5-axis simultaneous machining, titanium and high-strength alloys, NC simulation such as Vericut, probing or pallet systems, or EN 9100 / AS9100.
