DESCRIPTION

Role Title: CAM Programmer Role Type: Contractor Location: Remote micro1 is engaging CAM Programmers to contribute expertise on a customer’s project, focusing on developing advanced CNC toolpaths and instructional materials for CAM best practices. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters. Scope of Work • 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 potential issues such as collisions, gouging, and inefficient cycle times • Configure, tune, and document post-processors for various CNC machines (e.g., Haas, Makera) • Create detailed setup sheets, tool lists, and strategy documentation for downstream manufacturing professionals • Author clear, instructional content, walkthroughs, or written guidance on CAM programming techniques and best practices • Incorporate feedback from first-part results and inspection reports to iterate and refine CAM outputs Preferred

REQUIREMENTS

▸5+ years of hands-on CAM programming experience, with demonstrated proficiency in Fusion 360
▸Portfolio or sample work highlighting multi-axis programming and toolpath strategy
▸Strong understanding of GD&T, DFM principles, and post-processor configuration
▸Expertise programming for advanced CNC environments, including experience with a range of materials (aluminum, stainless, titanium, plastics)
▸Excellent written and verbal English communication skills, with strong attention to detail
▸Experience creating or delivering CAM training content (formal courses, tutorials, mentoring, or online instructional materials preferred)
▸Ability to document and communicate complex technical concepts clearly and effectively
