About the role
About Isembard
Isembard is building a network of high-performance factories for critical industries. We combine advanced machine tools, robotics and our own software, MasonOS, to make precision components for aerospace, defence, energy and frontier technology companies, with factories across the UK, US, Germany and France. Our mission is to forge industrial acceleration.
The role
Own CAM programming and machining standards at our Hamburg factory, from toolpath to first article prove-out, cycle time optimisation and production handover.
You will build the programming playbook our German sites run on. You program it, you prove it out, you run it.
What you'll do
Program, simulate and optimise 3-axis and 5-axis milling toolpaths.
Set up, prove out and run jobs to aerospace and defence standards.
Choose tooling, cutting parameters and workholding for aluminium, steels, titanium and Inconel.
Build toolpath libraries, programming templates and documentation from scratch.
Train machinists on programming standards as the team grows.
What we're looking for
Strong CAM programming in Hypermill, Mastercam, Siemens NX or equivalent.
A record of holding tolerances of ±0.01 mm or tighter.
Experience setting and running high-end machines such as Hermle or DMG Mori: you can program and run the machine yourself.
A solid understanding of feeds, speeds, tooling strategy and workholding.
Confident reading of complex drawings and GD&T, with clean documentation and revision control.
Nice to have
Aerospace or defence manufacturing.
5-axis simultaneous machining.
Titanium, Inconel and high-strength alloys.
NC simulation such as Vericut.
EN 9100 or AS9100.
Why Isembard
Technical authority over programming standards across our German sites.
Work on mission-critical aerospace and defence components.
Advanced 5-axis machine tools and growing automation.
Competitive salary and equity.
Location: On-site at our Hamburg factory.
