About ShiaanX
ShiaanX is an AI driven Industrial startup building the software and physical infrastructure for the next generation of precision manufacturing. We combine AI-native engineering tools with real factory operations — creating a closed loop between design intent, intelligent process planning, and the physical production of complex parts. The vision is to create a manufacturing system where a part comes in as a CAD model and the system handles everything downstream — quoting, process plan generation, execution tracking, inspection, shipping — with humans in the loop for exceptions only. We are in a High Mix Low Volume (HMLV) business and our Industries include advanced manufacturing sectors viz. Aerospace, Drones, Defence, Medical and Electronics.
The Role
This is not a traditional CNC programmer role.
You will produce customer parts on our VMC AND become a key contributor to how our AI-driven Factory OS learns to program parts. Your expertise, judgment, and reasoning will be systematically encoded into a system that eventually programs parts across a network of manufacturing partners.
Concretely, you will spend your time across three areas:
A. Production Programming
• Program precision parts for customer orders on our 3-axis VMC.
• Work primarily with aluminium (6061, 7075) and stainless steel (316) components — manifolds, cooling plates, brackets, housings, structural components.
• Own the full programming workflow from customer drawing to G-code output: feature identification, strategy selection, tool selection, feeds and speeds, post-processing, first-article verification.
• Coordinate directly with our machine operator on setup, tooling, and first-article inspection.
• Optimise cycle times without compromising quality — every minute saved compounds across production volume.
