CAM Engineer

About Isembard

Isembard is rebuilding industrial capacity through a connected network of factories. We bring skilled people, advanced machine tools and our own software, MasonOS, together to make precision components for aerospace, defence, energy and robotics.

The role

You will 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, with technical authority over programming standards, on advanced 5-axis machine tools. You program it, you prove it out, you run it. The package includes equity.

• 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 you bring

• 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.

• Useful, not essential: aerospace or defence manufacturing, 5-axis simultaneous machining, titanium, Inconel and high-strength alloys, NC simulation such as Vericut, or EN 9100 or AS9100.
