Computer Aided Design Programmer (Permanent) in Bath, Somerset

YT Technologies are currently partnering with Domin, a high-growth technology business that is fundamentally redefining motion control. They are combining additive manufacturing, fluid mechanics, and high-speed electric machinery to build the next generation of advanced hydraulic systems.

We are seeking a highly capable Senior CAD/CAM Programmer to strengthen Domin's in-house prototyping capability. Working closely with design engineers and machinists, you will lead CAM programming and machining strategy for complex prototype components, helping transform concepts into functional hardware quickly and efficiently.

The role is primarily focused on multi-axis milling and mill-turn machining, with responsibility for developing machining processes, workholding solutions, fixtures, and manufacturing methods for technically challenging parts.

• Program, prove out, and support manufacture of technically challenging components, maintaining practical involvement in machining operations where required to accelerate development and resolve manufacturing issues.
• Design and develop fixtures and work holding solutions for machining complex components.
• Work closely with tooling suppliers to optimise cutting tool selection and machining performance for difficult materials and geometries.
• Collaborate closely with design engineers and machinists to improve manufacturability, accelerate prototype iteration, and identify manufacturing risks early in development.
• Drive the continued growth of Domin's in-house prototype manufacturing capability, reducing dependency on external suppliers and enabling increasingly complex work to be completed internally.

Requirements:

• 5 years' experience in advanced CNC programming within a high-performance or technically demanding engineering environment.
• Strong hands-on capability in complex CNC machining environments, particularly multi-axis milling and mill-turn operations.
• High level of proficiency using CAM software.
• Proven ability to determine machining methods for complex or difficult-to-manufacture components.
• Experience designing and manufacturing jigs, fixtures, and workholding solutions.
• Strong understanding of cutting tool selection, machining dynamics, and tooling strategy for complex machining applications.

Benefits:

• Private medical insurance for all employees.
• 5% employer pension contribution, independent of personal contribution.
• Annual bonus scheme.
• Annual leave aligned to working pattern, typically 22 days for employees working a 9-day compressed fortnight or 27 days for employees working a full 10-day fortnight.
• Enhanced maternity leave after two years service, including 3 months full pay.
• Paid sabbatical opportunities after 7 and 14 years service.
• Option to work away from the office for up to 7 calendar days once per holiday year after 3 years service.
• Cycle to work scheme.
• Free parking.
• Flexible working policies.
• Summer sports day.
• High-quality tea and coffee.
