CAM Programmer

$80 - $120 per hour

SaidGig

Role Overview

Apply advanced CAM programming expertise to create high-quality CNC machining outputs and instructional materials that help improve next-generation AI systems through real-world engineering input. This remote contract role focuses on precise, production-ready programming in Autodesk Fusion 360, with no prior AI experience required.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop precision CAM toolpaths in Autodesk Fusion 360 for 3-, 4-, and 5-axis CNC machining operations.
  • Program complex milling and turning geometries in metals and plastics, accounting for material properties, tolerances, and machine capabilities.
  • Simulate and validate toolpaths to prevent collisions and gouging and improve cycle-time efficiency.
  • Configure, refine, and document post-processors for CNC machines, including Haas and Makera equipment.
  • Create detailed setup sheets, tool lists, and machining-strategy documentation for manufacturing teams.
  • Write clear instructional content, walkthroughs, and technical guidance covering CAM programming methods and best practices.
  • Use first-part results and inspection reports to refine CAM programs and outputs.

Qualifications

  • At least 5 years of hands-on CAM programming experience and demonstrated proficiency with Fusion 360 CAM.
  • Strong multi-axis programming, toolpath strategy, simulation, and attention-to-detail skills.
  • A portfolio or work samples demonstrating multi-axis programming and toolpath strategy.
  • Strong knowledge of GD&T, DFM principles, and post-processor configuration.
  • Experience programming in advanced CNC environments across aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, and plastics.
  • Excellent written and verbal English communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly.
  • Experience creating or delivering CAM training content, such as courses, tutorials, mentoring, or online instructional materials, is preferred.

Work Terms

  • Remote contract engagement.
  • Work contributes specialized CAM expertise and technical feedback used to train and evaluate AI systems.

Compensation

  • $80 to $120 per hour.
