Job description
About the Role
We are seeking an experienced SolidCAM Programmer & CNC Machine Operator to join our precision machining team in Israel. You will be responsible for programming and operating 5-axis Haas, 3-axis Doosan VMC, and Doosan Turning Centers to produce high-precision components. This role combines SolidCAM expertise with hands-on CNC operation skills, ensuring quality, efficiency, and innovation in every machined part.
Requirements
Key Responsibilities SolidCAM Programming
- Create, simulate, and optimise CNC programs using SolidCAM integrated with SOLIDWORKS.
- Apply 2.5D, 3D HSM, i. Machining 2D/3D, 4-axis, 5-axis, and Turning modules.
- Develop and validate programs for Haas 5-axis milling, Doosan 3-axis VMC, and Doosan turning centers.
- Utilise Machine Simulation and Collision Detection to verify tool-paths and machine kinematics.
- Configure post-processors and generate G-code specific to Haas and Doosan controls (Fanuc/HASS).
- Maintain a structured library of CAM programs, setup sheets, tooling data, and revision records. CNC Setup & Operation
- Set up and operate Haas 5-axis and Doosan 3-axis VMC machines, and Doosan CNC turning centers.
- Load and verify SolidCAM programs, perform tool presetting, offsets, and first-article inspection.
- Conduct in-process inspections using micrometers, calipers, gauges, and CMM (if applicable).
- Troubleshoot tool wear, chatter, and surface finish issues; adjust feeds/speeds as needed.
- Collaborate with quality, tooling, and production engineering teams to optimise performance. Process Improvement
