Who are CloudNC?
CloudNC is transforming global manufacturing with AI that accelerates CAM programming, maximizes factory output, and empowers machinists to deliver more.
Our core product, CAM Assist, speeds up CNC machining by tackling the most time-consuming and repetitive parts of the process, from machining strategy to toolpath generation.
It enables machinists to create effective programs in minutes, unlocking their full potential and helping shops increase throughput and improve consistency.
Today, CAM Assist is trusted by over 1,000 machine shops around the world to enhance their teams’ productivity, resolving skills shortages and helping them to deliver efficiently for their customers.
Founded in 2015, CloudNC consists of a world-class team combining expertise in computer science and physical manufacturing, based in our headquarters in London and our factory in Chelmsford.
The technology company is backed by leading venture capital firms Atomico and Episode 1 Ventures, alongside Autodesk and Lockheed Martin as strategic partners.
What CAM Assist is
AI that writes CNC toolpaths inside the CAM software programmers already use: Mastercam, Fusion, Siemens NX, GibbsCAM and SolidCAM. Work that takes hours takes minutes.
Our customers are precision manufacturers, and they buy it because the time saving is obvious. What sits between signing and seeing that saving is that this is a new product doing something new, on top of the ordinary friction of getting software set up and configured for how that shop works. Closing that gap quickly and repeatably is this job.
As a CAM Programmer at CloudNC, you will play a key role in assessing and preparing customer parts for CAM Assist, ensuring they are optimized for technical demonstrations. You’ll apply defined workholding strategies and identify the best-case solutions to showcase our technology’s full potential.
Beyond demonstrations, your expertise will directly shape the future of CAM Assist—by analyzing parts, extracting valuable insights, and collaborating closely with our Product Management team, you’ll help drive product innovation and influence its roadmap.
This role is perfect for a detail-oriented programmer passionate about advancing CNC automation and making a real impact on the industry.
