Reports To: Founders 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. B. AI Training
- Work directly with our software engineering team to encode your programming expertise into Factory OS.
- Review AI-generated process routes, setup sheets, and CAM decisions — correct them, and explain the reasoning behind your corrections in structured form.
- Help design the templates, rules, and decision frameworks that the AI uses to make its suggestions.
- Contribute to the tool library, material library, and machining strategy library that becomes ShiaanX's corpus IP.
- Your corrections and reasoning become training data. Over time, the AI becomes as good as you — and your role evolves toward oversight of a much larger production network. C.

Continuous

Improvement and Learning

- Document what works and what does not — systematic knowledge capture, not tribal knowledge.
- Identify patterns across jobs that inform Factory OS improvements.
- Stay current with CAM software developments,



cutting tool advancements, and machining strategies.
- Occasional customer interactions to clarify drawing requirements or manufacturing feasibility.

What You Must

Bring

Technical Experience -

- 5–7 years of hands-on CNC programming experience on 3-axis VMC machines.
- Strong command of at least one industry CAM software — Mastercam, Siemens NX, Powermill.
- Deep familiarity with Mitsubishi / Siemens controllers and G-code conventions.
- Proven track record of programming aluminium (6061, 7075) and stainless steel (316) precision components.
- Experience with tolerance requirements in the 0.05–0.10 mm range, and surface finish requirements Ra <1.6μm.
- Understanding of GD&T;, datum reference frames, and how to translate design intent into manufacturing execution.
- Ability to select cutting tools, fixtures, and work-holding strategies for HMLV precision work.

What Would Set You

Apart
