CNC Programmer in Nijmegen

Job Description

A CNC Programmer writes and optimises the programs that control CNC milling and turning machines, translating technical drawings and CAD models into efficient, accurate machining instructions.

You use CAM software to generate toolpaths, select appropriate tooling and cutting parameters for each material and operation, and simulate programs to check for collisions or errors before they reach the shop floor. You work closely with machine operators to fine-tune programs during first-off production, adjusting feeds, speeds, and offsets to hit tolerance and finish requirements efficiently.

This role requires strong CAD/CAM skills (such as Mastercam, Fusion 360, or SolidWorks CAM), a solid understanding of machining principles and materials, and the ability to read complex technical drawings. Hands-on machining experience is a strong advantage.
