hyperMILL CNC Programmer / CAD CAM Engineer

Salary: £55,000 – £60,000 DOE

Location: North London

Hours: Days, Monday to Friday

Precision Engineering | CNC Milling | CAD/CAM | Mechanical Design

An established precision engineering and manufacturing company is looking for an experienced hyperMILL CNC Programmer / CAD CAM Engineer to join its engineering team.

This is an excellent opportunity for a skilled CNC Programmer with strong CAD/CAM experience who enjoys getting involved in the wider engineering and manufacturing process.

The role will primarily focus on offline CNC programming using hyperMILL, alongside mechanical design, component development and technical engineering support.

We are looking for a good all-round engineer who understands not just how to program a component, but how it is designed, machined and manufactured efficiently.

The Role

• Produce and develop CNC milling programs using hyperMILL CAD/CAM software.

• Create and optimise machining strategies for precision-engineered components.

• Develop CNC programs for 3-axis and multi-axis milling applications, where required.

• Review engineering drawings, CAD models and customer specifications to establish manufacturing requirements.

• Undertake mechanical design and CAD modelling work as required.

• Review component designs and provide technical input on manufacturability.

• Support engineering reviews of machined components and sheet metal assemblies.

• Work closely with CNC machinists, production and engineering teams to resolve technical issues.

• Improve machining methods, tooling strategies, cycle times and manufacturing efficiency.

• Contribute to design for manufacture (DFM) and continuous improvement activities.

What We’re Looking For

We are particularly interested in candidates with a strong background in CNC milling, offline programming and precision engineering.

Ideally, you will have:

• Proven experience in CNC programming using hyperMILL.

• Strong CAD/CAM programming skills within a precision engineering or manufacturing environment.

• A good understanding of CNC milling processes, cutting tools and machining strategies.

• Experience interpreting complex engineering drawings and 3D CAD models.

• Knowledge of machining tolerances, materials and manufacturing processes.

• The ability to review designs and identify practical manufacturing solutions.

• Some mechanical design or CAD modelling experience.

• A hands-on engineering approach with the ability to work across programming, design and production.

Experience within aerospace, defence, automotive or other high-precision manufacturing environments would be particularly relevant.

The Opportunity

This is not simply a CNC programming position. The company is looking for someone who can take responsibility for programming while also contributing to wider engineering activities.

You may currently be working as a hyperMILL Programmer, CNC Offline Programmer, CAD CAM Programmer, CNC Manufacturing Engineer or CAD CAM Engineer.

If you are an experienced CNC Programmer who enjoys the technical challenges of precision machining and wants a role offering variety and engineering involvement, we would be keen to hear from you.
