Your expertise will help establish clear criteria for determining whether a CAM solution would be approved or rejected by an experienced machinist before being used in a real manufacturing environment.You may also review existing CAM programs, evaluate their technical quality, and explain the reasoning behind pass/fail decisions.RequirementsKey Responsibilities Create 10-criterion grading rubrics for evaluating Fusion 360 CAM programs across various CAD models and machining scenarios. Assess CAM solutions based on relevant machining context, including stock material, machine capabilities, tooling, toolpaths, and setup requirements. Develop clear, objective, and verifiable criteria that can consistently distinguish production-ready CAM programs from unsuitable solutions. Provide detailed verification rationale explaining why each grading criterion matters and how it should be evaluated. Review sample CAM programs and determine whether they meet the defined production standards. Clearly document the technical reasoning behind pass/fail decisions.

Minimum Qualifications 5+ years of professional CAM programming experience in CNC manufacturing or a closely related field. Extensive hands-on experience with Fusion 360 CAM, including access to an active Fusion 360 license. Ability to program and evaluate 4-axis and/or 5-axis CNC toolpaths. Strong understanding of CNC machining processes, tooling, workholding, setups, feeds and speeds, and toolpath strategy. Proven production judgment and the ability to distinguish between CAM programs that are technically plausible and those that can be safely and reliably executed on a production machine. Strong attention to detail and analytical thinking. Excellent written English communication skills, as all deliverables will be text-based.
