CAM Programmer for AI Training

Develop advanced CNC toolpaths and clear instructional materials for CAM best practices, primarily using Autodesk Fusion 360. You will program, simulate, verify, and document multi-axis milling and turning operations for metals and plastics, and your outputs will be used to train next-generation AI systems. No prior AI experience is required; domain expertise in CAM is the key requirement.

• Develop precision CAM toolpaths in Autodesk Fusion 360 for 3, 4, and 5-axis CNC machining operations.
• Program complex milling and turning geometries across metals and plastics, optimizing for material, tolerance, and machine capabilities.
• Simulate and verify toolpaths to identify and resolve issues such as collisions, gouging, and inefficient cycle times.
• Configure, tune, and document post-processors for various CNC machines, for example Haas and Makera.
• Create detailed setup sheets, tool lists, and strategy documentation for downstream manufacturing professionals.
• Author clear instructional content, walkthroughs, and written guidance on CAM programming techniques and best practices.
• Incorporate feedback from first-part results and inspection reports to iterate and refine CAM outputs.

• Required skills: proficiency in Fusion 360 CAM, multi-axis programming, toolpath strategy and simulation, and strong attention to detail.
• Preferred: 5+ years of hands-on CAM programming experience with demonstrated proficiency in Fusion 360.
• Portfolio or sample work that highlights multi-axis programming and toolpath strategy.
• Strong understanding of GD&T and DFM principles, and experience with post-processor configuration.
• Experience programming for advanced CNC environments and a range of materials, including aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, and plastics.
• Excellent written and verbal English communication skills, with the ability to document and explain complex technical concepts clearly.
• Experience creating or delivering CAM training content, such as courses, tutorials, mentoring, or online instructional materials, is preferred.

• Role type: Independent contractor.
• Location: Remote.
• Your contributions will be used to produce high-quality, real-world inputs that help train and evaluate AI systems; direct AI experience is not required.

• Hourly pay range: $25 to $50 per hour.

• No specific work-authorization or visa sponsorship information was provided; applicants should ensure they are eligible to work as independent contractors in the role''s remote arrangement.
