You'll make a difference by:
Contributing to the definition of new NX CAM capabilities informed by customer needs, market trends, and machining workflows.
Validating software using realistic manufacturing workflows, practical use cases, and on-machine testing.
Engaging with customers and partners to evaluate software, demonstrate new functionality, and gather actionable feedback.
Promoting product quality through thoughtful validation, timely feedback, and a continuous improvement mindset.
Acting as a trusted connection point between customers, product management, and development teams.
Communicating clearly and proactively to align expectations, share insights, and strengthen collaboration.
Sharing machining expertise to strengthen team knowledge and support effective, self-organized collaboration.
Taking ownership, anticipating needs, and helping to drive progress in a lean-agile product development environment.
Collaborating with Product Owners and Product Management to refine requirements, create customer-focused acceptance criteria and test parts, and support feature readiness.
Serving as one of the ambassadors of NX CAM by creating customer-facing enablement materials, including feature videos, screen captures, on-machine test recordings, and tech tips, for the broader manufacturing community, including platforms such as LinkedIn.
Researching manufacturing workflows, competitive solutions, benchmarking results, machining scenarios, and customer challenges to inform future product improvements.
Your success is grounded in:
Proven CNC programming experience using NX CAM.
Expert-level knowledge of G-code for controls such as Sinumerik, Heidenhain, Fanuc, and Okuma.
Ability to program a part, put it on a machine, and cut or build it.
Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.
Significant hands-on machining experience, including requirements definition and validation of pre-release software on machines.
Willingness to travel occasionally for customer and partner meetings, trade shows, and product team engagements, including domestic or international travel as permitted.
Great if you have:
Experience in mold and die, aerospace, or other precision component manufacturing
Experience with other CAM systems in addition to NX CAM
Experience with CAM post processors and CNC simulation software
Experience with Robotics
Strong CAD skills
Experience working in Teamcenter or other managed environments
