Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Weekday AI is hiring on behalf of one of its clients to help build a high-quality evaluation dataset for CNC manufacturing. The CAM Programming Expert will create objective grading rubrics for Fusion 360 CAM programs, review sample programs, and assess their safety, technical quality, and production readiness. The role also requires documenting pass/fail reasoning and identifying potential machining, tooling, safety, and process issues.
Responsibilities
- Create **10-criterion grading rubrics** for evaluating Fusion 360 CAM programs across various CAD models and machining scenarios
- Assess CAM solutions based on relevant machining context, including **stock material, machine capabilities, tooling, toolpaths, and setup requirements**
- Develop clear, objective, and verifiable criteria that can consistently distinguish production-ready CAM programs from unsuitable solutions
- Provide detailed verification rationale explaining why each grading criterion matters and how it should be evaluated
- Review sample CAM programs and determine whether they meet the defined production standards
- Clearly document the technical reasoning behind pass/fail decisions
- Identify potential safety, machining, tooling, or process issues that could prevent a CAM program from being successfully executed on a real CNC machine
- Apply practical manufacturing judgment when evaluating toolpaths and machining strategies
