Location: Hamburg (Factory) Job Type: Full-time Salary: Competitive Equity: Benchmarked

Role Overview

Own CAM programming and machining standards for Isembard's first German factory — from toolpath creation and first article prove-out to cycle time optimisation and production handover.

You will build the programming playbook that scales across every German site in the network. This is a high-ownership, hands-on role in a founding team of two to three people. There are no departments and no handovers. You programme it, you prove it, you run it.

Key Responsibilities

• Program, simulate and optimise CNC toolpaths (3-axis and 5-axis milling)
• Set, prove-out and run jobs to aerospace and defence standards
• Reduce cycle times and improve machine utilisation from day one
• Select tooling, cutting parameters and work-holding strategies for challenging materials (e.g. aluminium, steels, titanium, Inconel)
• Design and improve fixturing strategies
• Read and interpret complex engineering drawings and GD&T
• Build toolpath libraries, programming templates and documentation from scratch
• Support new part introduction (NPI) from drawing to stable production
• Contribute to DFM feedback for customers
• Work closely with the MasonOS software team to improve data capture, scheduling and automation
• Train machinists on programming standards as the team grows
• Help build the factory — install machines, commission equipment, define workflows

Required Skills

• Strong CAM programming experience (e.g. Hypermill, Mastercam, Siemens NX or equivalent)
