CNC Programmer
Company overview Alloyed is a young venture-funded company of around 120 world-class metallurgists, mechanical engineers, technicians, and software developers working across three offices in the UK and one in the US, building the future of advanced metal components. We use proprietary software packages which combine advanced machine learning and physical modelling, as well as extensive experimental facilities, to 3D print metal components better and faster than anyone else.
The CNC Programmer will be responsible for the programming, setup, and operation of CNC machines to produce high-quality, high-precision parts for new product introduction (NPI). The ideal candidate should have a strong background in CNC programming and operation, as well as a keen eye for detail and a commitment to maintaining the highest standards of quality and precision. The ideal candidate will also have some experience with Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and will be skilled with CAD to design and propose fixturing and component design that aid its manufacturability for high-precision CNC results. You will be based at Abingdon Business Park, south of Oxford. Training will be provided where required.
Cnc Programmer Responsibilities:
Programming:

  • Develop 5-axis CNC programs for new product introductions based on engineering drawings, models, and specifications.
  • Optimise programs to ensure efficient production, minimise waste, and reduce cycle times.
    CNC Machine Setup and Operation:
  • Set up CNC machines, including loading materials, tooling selection, and fixture installation.
  • Perform routine maintenance and troubleshooting on CNC machines to ensure optimal performance.
  • Operate CNC machines to manufacture parts according to established specifications and quality standards.
    New Product Introduction (NPI):
  • Collaborate with the engineering and design teams during the NPI process to provide technical expertise and insights.
  • Review engineering drawings and models to identify potential manufacturing challenges and offer design for manufacturability (DFM) recommendations.
  • Participate in prototype development, ensuring accurate translation of designs into functional parts
    Quality Assurance and Documentation:
  • Monitor and maintain quality control procedures, including in-process inspections and final product verification.
  • Document all relevant data, including measurements, process parameters, and any deviations or nonconformances.
    Essential
  • Experience in 5-axis programming with Fusion 360 CAM
  • Jig and fixture design and Fusion 360 CAD
  • Working in a precision engineering environment • Organised and able to work independently, but also to collaborate with a diverse, fast-moving team
  • Proficient with Microsoft Office (Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook)
  • Hands-on attitude and willingness to learn new skills
  • High level of attention to detail
    Desirable
  • Experience with DMG milling machine and Siemens control
  • Lathe programming and operation
  • Understanding of DFM for additively manufactured near net-shape parts
  • Experience operating under AS9100/ISO9001 environment
  • New product introduction – FAI, AQPQ
  • Willingness to work flexible hours if needed
    The supporting statement should explain your motivations and how you meet the selection criteria for the role using examples of your skills and any experience. All documents should be uploaded as PDF files with your name and document type in the filename. Please provide details of two referees and indicate if we can contact them now

Why Machine Learning Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Machine learning (ML) has moved from research labs into mainstream UK businesses. From healthcare diagnostics to fraud detection, autonomous vehicles to recommendation engines, ML underpins critical services and consumer experiences. But the skillset required of today’s machine learning professionals is no longer purely technical. Employers increasingly seek multidisciplinary expertise: not only coding, algorithms & statistics, but also knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This article explores why UK machine learning careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these fields intersect with ML roles, and what both job-seekers & employers need to understand to succeed in a rapidly changing landscape.
