Remote CAD/CAM Programmer (CNC Router & Laser Specialist) - EnRoute

ABOUT US:
KF Plastics is a leading plastic fabrication manufacturer based in Sydney, Australia. We specialize in high precision acrylic fabrication, engineering plastics, and signage. We are looking for a long term technical partner to manage our CNC programming remotely.

THE ROLE:
You will be our Remote CNC Department. You will log into our Sydney workstation (Remote Desktop) to prepare dxfs from customer files or drawings into "Ready-to-Cut" cnc files for our 3-Axis Flatbed Router and Laser Cutter.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

Daily Batching: Log in daily to check the INPUT folder. Combine multiple jobs of the same material (e.g., "All 4.5mm Clear Acrylic") onto single sheets to maximize yield.

Drafting & Cleanup: Convert client PDFs/Sketches into clean DXF vectors. Verify scale against written dimensions (never trust the PDF scale).

Nesting (AlphaCam/EnRoute): Use EnRoute software to nest parts efficiently. Apply toolpaths using our specific Tool Library (Drill, Profile, Pocket).

Output Generation: Save Machine Files (.nc) and "Sheet Map" PDFs so our operators know which part belongs to which job.

REQUIREMENTS:

Software: Must be experienced with EnRoute (Nesting/Toolpathing) and SolidWorks/AutoCAD (2D Vectors).

Technical Knowledge: You must understand Flatbed Machining (Vacuum hold-down, Onion skins/Tabs, Dog-bone fillets for assembly).

Process Driven: You must follow our specific Folder Structure and Naming Conventions perfectly.

Hardware: Reliable High-Speed Internet is MANDATORY as you will be controlling a PC in Australia.

HOURLY RATE:
$8 - $12 USD / Hour (Depending on experience).
This is a Part-Time / Flexible role (approx. 10-15 hours/week) with potential to grow.
