CAD/CAM Offline Programmer – Precision Manufacturing
Waterford | Permanent | Medical Devices / Aerospace
Morgan McKinley is partnering with a leading precision manufacturing company to recruit a CAD/CAM Offline Programmer. This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing, high-tech organisation where you’ll be working on complex projects across medical device and aerospace components.
The Role
As a CAD/CAM Offline Programmer, you will play a key role in designing, testing, and optimising CNC programs for milling and turning machines. Working to tight tolerances across a variety of metals and polymers, you’ll collaborate closely with engineering, production, and quality teams to ensure accuracy, manufacturability, and compliance with industry standards.
Responsibilities
* Develop, test, and optimise CNC programs for milling and turning operations.
* Interpret 3D models, technical drawings, and specifications to generate efficient tool paths.
* Select cutting tools, feeds, speeds, and strategies for machining metals (stainless steel, titanium, aluminium) and polymers (PEEK, acetal, polycarbonate).
* Troubleshoot machining/programming issues and improve cycle times, tool life, and surface finishes.
* Collaborate cross-functionally to drive continuous improvement and ensure compliance with ISO 13485 and GMP standards.
* Maintain accurate records of programs, setups, and process improvements.
About You
* Proven experience as a CAD/CAM Programmer in high-precision manufacturing (medical device or aerospace preferred).
* Skilled in CAD/CAM software such as SolidCAM, HyperMill, or Esprit (or equivalent).
* Strong understanding of CNC precision machining (milling and/or turning).
* Hands-on knowledge of metals and engineering polymers.
* Experience working with tight tolerances (±0.02mm or better) and complex geometries.
* Familiar with GD&T, 3D modelling, and interpreting engineering drawings.
* Strong problem-solving ability, attention to detail, and excellent teamwork/communication skills.
What’s on Offer
* A permanent role in a forward-thinking, innovative company.
* Exposure to cutting-edge projects in regulated industries.
* Competitive package and opportunities for career progression.
If you’re a detail-driven CAD/CAM Programmer looking for your next challenge in a world-class precision manufacturing environment, we’d love to hear from you.
