Job Description

We’re looking for a hands-on CATIA programmer to own and evolve our CATIA V5R14mold-base automation. We design injection molds in CATIA and rely on extensive automation (CATIA macros + VBA orchestration) to standardize our mold base, accelerate release, and reduce repetitive work. This role takes over an existing macro library, deciphers legacy scripts, and updates/expands automation to match a proven NX mold base reference workflow.

Critical environment requirement

We operate on CATIA V5R18 and are not under an active maintenance contract.

All automation must be programmed and supported in V5R18 (no dependency on newer versions/features, patches, or vendor fixes).

You must be comfortable delivering stable solutions in a locked-version, legacy environment.

Key responsibilities

Maintain and extend our existing CATIA macro library and related VBA scripts used to automate mold design workflows.

Read, diagnose, and refactor legacy macros/scripts to improve stability, speed, and maintainability.

Improve robustness of automation across product structure changes (assemblies, sub-products, instantiation, naming conventions).

Align CATIA mold-base automation to an NX mold base reference (match intent and outputs as closely as practical).

Add logging, error handling, and documentation so automation is repeatable and supportable by others.

Partner with design, surfacing, machining, and program teams to translate workflow needs into automation.

Required qualifications

Proven CATIA V5 automation experience, specifically:

CATIA V5R18 macro development/support

CATScript / VBScript and/or VBA via CATIA COM automation

Strong understanding of CATIA design structure:

CATPart/CATProduct/CATDrawing concepts

selection methods, parameters, publications, links/updates

bodies/hybrid bodies (geometrical sets), constraints, product structure control

Strong VBA skills (not just recorded macros):

Excel object model, file I/O, string parsing

structured error handling, modular design, maintainable code

Experience in injection mold design environments and understanding mold base architecture.

CATIA Knowledgeware (parameters/formulas/design tables/rules/checks)

Demonstrated ability to inherit and modernize legacy code:

interpret intent, safely modify behavior, keep backward compatibility

document changes and build simple test/validation checklists

Preferred qualifications

Familiarity with NX workflows (enough to compare outputs/process intent)

Basic version control habits (Git or equivalent) and change logging discipline
