Job Title: CNC Programmer
Company Overview
Alloyed is a young venture-funded company of around 140 world-class metallurgists, mechanical engineers, technicians, and software developers working across three offices in the UK and one in the US.
We use proprietary software packages which combine advanced machine learning and physical modelling, as well as extensive experimental facilities, to 3D print metal components better and faster than anyone else.
Our aim is to build the world's fastest, smartest, and best-equipped facility for the rapid development of additively manufactured parts for the electronics, aerospace, and industrial sectors, and novel metal alloys for better performance.
The Role
We are seeking a skilled CNC Programmer to join our additive manufacturing company. The CNC Programmer will be responsible for programming, setting up, and operating CNC machines to produce high-quality, high-precision parts.
The ideal candidate should have a strong background in CNC programming and operation, as well as a keen eye for detail and a commitment to maintaining the highest standards of quality and precision.
Responsibilities
Programming:
* Develop 5-axis CNC programs for new product introductions based on engineering drawings, models, and specifications.
