CNC Programmer and Operation Specialist

Targeted start date: Immediately. Relocation provided.

We are at the forefront of developing advanced humanoid robots designed for household use. Our mission is to create an abundant supply of labor via safe, intelligent humanoids.

As we transition from R&D to full-scale manufacturing, we seek an experienced CNC Programmer and Operation Specialist. In this role, you will be the person who starts up our brand new prototyping workshop. Your job is not going to be just to program the various CNC machines, but also to contribute to establishing the infrastructure of our internal machine park. This park will be used as an asset to continuously experiment with new products and to optimise the various designs for manufacturing. Picture yourself as a pivotal person in this venture, leading the way in turning engineering designs concepts into reality often within a single day. Your in-depth expertise in 5-axis programming for mill/turn machines, proficiency with HCL CAMWorks, and hands-on experience with DMG Mori machines like the NTX and DMU series, will be your main asset to succeed in this job. In addition, machine simulation and collision detection are going to be the tools you will leverage daily, ensuring the transition from concept to reality is both swift and smooth. 

Why this job is exciting

• You will help build and operate 1X’s first machine park - a world-class advanced prototyping and manufacturing asset.

• Influence how our products are designed through making suggestions on modifications that allow for better manufacturability and higher volume production technologies

• Fast paced environment: Ensure a quick turnaround for engineers - often within a day.

Roadmap 

Within first month, you will...

• Get familiar with the portfolio and complexity of parts that build up our products

• Define the machining strategy for each part, start setting up CAM and machine simulation

• Programming our parts and machining them in the suitable machine (incl. Measuring that they are within spec)

Within three months, you will…

• Be self-sufficient, and lead the programming/operation planning, execution and implementation of tasks relate to the implementation of the machine shop and CMM machine

• Collaborate closely with R&D teams and drive the implementation of changes in design for better manufacturability

• Own all processes (From CAD to the finished part on the table) related to the prototyping Machine Park in the company

Within one year, you will…

• Be the go-to person related to the machining and low-volume production of parts

• Manage a fully functioning machine park (incl. CNC machines, EDM equipment, a CMM machine)

• Oversee the production of parts, ensuring quality and short lead times

Must-Haves:

• Skilled in HCL CAMWorks. 5-axis simultaneous programming
  
• Proven experience in CNC programming and operation, specifically with 5-axis programming for mill/turn machines
• Proficiency in working with CELOS with MAPPS, FANUC (F31iB5) and/or CELOS with HEIDENHAIN (TNC7) controller
• Skilled in machine simulation and capable of foreseeing potential collisions before machine operation
• Ability to measure parts as they get made, often to a high degree of precision, to ensure they are within spe
• Adhering to safety regulations and maintaining a clean and organized workspace
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail
• Strong communication and team collaboration skills

Nice-To-Haves:

• Experience with DMG Mori machines (NTX series and DMU series) will be considered a significant advantage.
• Hands-on experience in programming and operating CMM machines and other measurement methods relevant for quality checks of machined parts.
• Assisting with troubleshooting and resolving machine-related issues promptly to minimize downtime.
• Data-driven mindset and ability to analyze performance metrics, enabling data-based decision-making for process optimization and product design improvements (making changes to products to suit a particular manufacturing technology).

We seek the world's most talented individuals with a passion for inventing and building a more prosperous future. At 1X you'll get to own real projects and be rewarded for your achievements and output. We hire, recognize and reward based on merit. We believe the best work is done when collaborating and therefore require in-person presence.
