Digital CNC is a University of Sheffield AMRC spinout building a deterministic, physics-based machining prediction engine delivered natively inside the CAM systems machinists already use, including Siemens NX, CATIA V5 and Mastercam.
Built on approximately 25 years of AMRC machining research, our technology lets CAM programmers see how a machine tool will actually behave before a single chip is cut, producing toolpaths that are machine-specific and optimised at the point of design.
We sell directly to aerospace and defence OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, and we are building OEM partnerships that will embed our engine inside established digital machining products.
This role sits at the centre of both.
The role This is a dual‑mandate engineering role.
You will own the integration layer that connects our prediction engine to the CAM systems our customers use, and you will own the engineering side of our OEM partnerships, where established software vendors embed our engine inside their own products.
These are two faces of the same technical problem: presenting a physics engine to a host application through a clean, stable, well‑documented boundary.
In our own plugins, you control both sides of that boundary.
In a partner integration, engineers at another company build against it, which raises the bar on interface design, versioning, documentation and support.
You will work closely with the VP Engineering on the component architecture and with our R
