We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (8)
This role is primarily a CAM/CNC programming and manufacturing engineering position — not a conventional software development role. It is classified under 15-1252 (Software Developers) because the posting explicitly frames the role as 'Digital Manufacturing CAM Developer' with a co-development mandate (building internal tools, automation enhancements, co-piloting CAM integration), but the day-to-day work is closer to manufacturing/industrial engineering. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is listed as a close runner-up. Confidence is Low due to this genuine occupational ambiguity.
No work location is specified in the posting. Hadrian is a Los Angeles-based aerospace manufacturing company, but no city or state is stated in this job description, so no CBSA has been set.
hyperMILL and Siemens NX are explicitly named as the primary CAM tools in the 'Tools, machines, and tech' section; the remaining CAM tools (Mastercam, Esprit, SprutCAM, Autodesk Fusion 360, ProMill, HSMWorks, BobCAD, Surfcam, GibbsCAM, Mazatrol) appear in the same list as alternatives or supplementary context. ProMill was omitted as a named alternative for hyperMILL because it is a hyperMILL module rather than a standalone competing tool.
Mazatrol is listed separately as a preferred skill because it is a machine-specific conversational control language rather than a general CAM package, and its optional nature is implied by its placement at the end of the tools list.
Mill-turn and on-machine probing appear under 'Ways to stand out' (the posting's preferred/bonus section) and are marked accordingly.
No total years of experience requirement is stated in the posting.
No compensation figures are provided.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): 5-axis CNC machining.
