Advanced CAM Technologist (Mastercam/GibbsCAM) Metal Stamping

Advanced CAM Technologist (Mastercam/GibbsCAM) — Metal StampingAsk yourself: Do you love turning complex CAD and GD&T into clean, efficient toolpaths? Can you diagnose a stubborn tolerance issue, then write the metrology routine that proves the fix? If so, you’ll fit right in.Location: Mendota Heights, MN • Department: Operations • Type: Full-time • Pay: $35–45/hrThe missionOwn the CAM programming that powers our precision tooling and parts for metal stamping. You’ll partner across engineering, toolroom, production, and quality to shrink cycle times, lift capability, and formalize reliable, repeatable processes—on the machine and in inspection.How you’ll contributeDevelop, edit, and refine CNC milling programs in Mastercam or GibbsCAM for 3–4 axis VMCsConvert prints/CAD and GD&T into robust machining strategies and setup documentationCreate and maintain InspecVision optical inspection programs for automated verificationAuthor thorough setup/program sheets with setups, tooling, pickup points, toolpaths, and grind stockRapidly troubleshoot programming/machining issues to protect schedule and qualityContinuously improve processes to reduce cycle time and variationOwn cutting tool procurement, inventory management, and life monitoring per tooling BOMsCollaborate daily with design engineers, operators, quality teams, and production leadershipKeep documentation accurate and current with ECNs, customer changes, and process updatesModel safe work practices and uphold quality standards and company policiesWhat makes you successful here5+ years CNC milling programming in a metal stamping environmentMastery of Mastercam, GibbsCAM, or equivalent CAM toolsStrong G-code knowledge, machining principles, tool selection, feeds/speedsExpert reading of blueprints/CAD with solid GD&T applicationResourceful troubleshooting while maintaining throughputDetail-driven, quality-focused communicator who meets deadlinesOrganized with inventory and documentation; improvement-minded and safety-focusedPreferred qualificationsHigh school diploma or equivalent required; technical degree or related manufacturing education preferredExperience programming and supporting optical inspection systemsKnowledge of tooling purchasing, inventory control, and cutting tool optimizationExperience assisting toolroom and die manufacturing operationsPhysical expectationsFrequent standing and walking on the shop floorLift 25 lbs routinely and up to 50 lbs on occasionSustain focus through repetitive tasks over a full shiftGood vision, depth perception, and manual dexterity for verification, inspection, and supportTech stackCAM: Mastercam, GibbsCAMMachines: CNC Mill (3–4 axis VMC) — Fanuc, BridgeportMetrology: InspecVision optical inspectionCore proficiencies: GD&T, CNC ProgrammingImpact you’ll seeFrom the first toolpath to the final inspection routine, your work will set the pace for throughput, tool performance, and part quality—inside a collaborative environment that values precision and continuous improvement. #J-18808-Ljbffr
