Who We Are At Pelican, we engineer products that stand up to the world’s toughest conditions—because the people who rely on us do too. For nearly 50 years, we’ve been a trusted partner for military personnel, first responders, outdoor adventurers, and innovators who push the limits.

With a global presence that includes 11 offices, 4 manufacturing facilities, and 4 custom case centers, we create high-performance protective solutions that ensure our customers can focus on what matters most.

At Pelican, your work has a real-world impact. You’ll be part of a team driven by innovation, craftsmanship, and the shared belief that when the mission is critical, failure isn’t an option. If you’re ready to build something that makes a difference, be part of a team that protects what matters most.

What You'll Do: As a Foam CAD Programmer, you'll turn engineering designs into CNC-ready programs used to manufacture custom foam components. You'll use CAD/CAM software to develop cutting strategies, optimize material usage, and improve production efficiency while partnering with Engineering and Operations to deliver high-quality products.

Interpret engineering drawings and break down designs into manufacturable foam components while maximizing material usage and simplifying assembly. Program CNC routers and waterjet machines using Solid Edge CAM Pro, selecting appropriate toolpaths and cutting strategies. Develop machine programs using 2D CAD/CAM software to support foam manufacturing and sub-assembly processes. Create detailed 3D exploded assembly views to improve accuracy and efficiency in custom foam cushion assembly. Provide machining processes and cycle-time data to support standard manufacturing routings in SAP. Evaluate machine capabilities, select appropriate manufacturing methods, and troubleshoot CAM programming issues to minimize downtime. Operate foam manufacturing equipment as needed to support programming, testing, and production. Collaborate with Engineering and Operations to improve foam product manufacturability and streamline production processes. Develop and improve standard operating procedures and manufacturing work instructions. Evaluate tooling, equipment, and machining methods to improve product quality, reliability, and production efficiency. Test new cutting strategies to reduce machine cycle times, minimize material waste, and maintain dimensional accuracy. Train and support team members on CAM programming standards, procedures, and best practices. Follow engineering blueprints, Bills of Materials (BOMs), assembly drawings, and verbal or written instructions. Support Pelican's quality standards and continuous improvement initiatives. Perform additional duties as assigned.

What We’re Looking For:

High school diploma or equivalent. Minimum of 3 years of CAM programming experience in a manufacturing environment. Experience with Solid Edge CAM Pro.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
