SaidGig

Role Overview

Develop advanced CNC toolpaths and practical CAM guidance that support the training of next-generation AI systems. This remote contract role applies real-world manufacturing expertise to create precise, high-quality programming outputs and instructional materials. No prior AI experience is required.

Key Responsibilities

  • Create precision Autodesk Fusion 360 CAM toolpaths for 3-, 4-, and 5-axis CNC machining operations.
  • Program complex milling and turning geometries in metals and plastics, accounting for material, tolerance, and machine capabilities.
  • Simulate and verify toolpaths, resolving collisions, gouging risks, and inefficient cycle times.
  • Configure, refine, and document post-processors for CNC machines, including Haas and Makera equipment.
  • Prepare detailed setup sheets, tool lists, and strategy documentation for downstream manufacturing professionals.
  • Write clear walkthroughs and instructional guidance on CAM programming techniques and best practices.
  • Use first-part results and inspection reports to improve and refine CAM outputs.
  • Provide domain expertise that helps AI systems learn, reason, and perform through real-world technical input.

Qualifications

  • At least 5 years of hands-on CAM programming experience, including demonstrated Fusion 360 proficiency.
  • 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 spoken English communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly.
  • Experience creating CAM training content, such as courses, tutorials, mentoring, or online instructional materials, is preferred.

Work Terms

  • Remote independent contractor engagement.

Compensation

  • $80 to $120 per hour.
