CAM Engineer (m/w/d)

The role

Own CAM programming and machining standards at our Hamburg factory, from toolpath to first article prove-out, cycle time optimisation and production handover.

You will build the programming playbook our German sites run on. You program it, you prove it out, you run it.

What you'll do

• Program, simulate and optimise 3-axis and 5-axis milling toolpaths.
• Set up, prove out and run jobs to aerospace and defence standards.
• Choose tooling, cutting parameters and workholding for aluminium, steels, titanium and Inconel.
• Build toolpath libraries, programming templates and documentation from scratch.
• Train machinists on programming standards as the team grows.

What we're looking for

• Strong CAM programming in Hypermill, Mastercam, Siemens NX or equivalent.
• A record of holding tolerances of ±0.01 mm or tighter.
• Experience setting and running high-end machines such as Hermle or DMG Mori: you can program and run the machine yourself.
• A solid understanding of feeds, speeds, tooling strategy and workholding.
• Confident reading of complex drawings and GD&T, with clean documentation and revision control.

Nice to have

• Aerospace or defence manufacturing.
• 5-axis simultaneous machining.
• Titanium, Inconel and high-strength alloys.
• NC simulation such as Vericut.
• EN 9100 or AS9100.

Why Isembard

• Technical authority over programming standards across our German sites.
• Work on mission-critical aerospace and defence components.
• Advanced 5-axis machine tools and growing automation.
• Competitive salary and equity.

Location: On-site at our Hamburg factory.
