Numerical Control (NC) part programming entails the production of control programs for numerical control machine tools. The job is a mechanical engineering discipline not IT software development.
At CAMXL we specialise in programming for the aerospace industry. The majority of our work involves programming airframe components for the Airbus range of aircraft although we also work on other airframe, aero engine and spacecraft projects.
The stages of programming a component are:
Tool path programs are written in Catia V5 or NCL. These are graphical interactive software packages. Vericut simulation software is used to simulate the machining process and check the dimensional accuracy of the programs.
A brief demonstration of this software will be given at the interview. We do not program directly onto the machine controller, all our work is done away from the machine tool in comfortable modern offices. Programs are delivered electronically to customers in the UK and abroad.
We do not have our own machine shop. We provide programming services to those who have.

There is no single appropriate qualification for the job but competent programmers are generally educated to at least HNC level.
The job requires good mathematical skills and an ability to interpret engineering drawings. A background in mechanical engineering and metal cutting is a positive advantage.
