Astr Defence is looking for an experienced CNC Turning professional who can independently handle the complete machining process for precision development parts.
We are looking for someone who is not just a machine operator, but a hands-on CNC Turning expert capable of taking a component from drawing → tooling → programming → machining → inspection → final output with minimal supervision.
Key Responsibility
The selected person should be able to independently:
Understand engineering drawings, dimensions & tolerances
Plan the complete CNC turning machining process
Select appropriate cutting tools, inserts, holders and tooling strategy
Decide cutting parameters, speeds & feeds
Prepare and modify CNC programs
Set up jobs and prove-out programs
Handle first-off / development components
Troubleshoot machining, tool wear, dimensional & surface-finish issues
Optimize cycle time and machining parameters
Coordinate with Design & QA for development parts
Inspect the finished component using appropriate measuring instruments
Deliver the final component as per drawing requirements without continuous supervision
What We Are Looking For
Experience: 3–5+ years in CNC Turning / Precision Machining
Essential:
Strong hands-on experience in CNC Turning
Positive knowledge of CNC programming
Solid understanding of tooling & insert selection
Ability to independently develop machining processes
Experience in machining precision components / development parts
Valuable understanding of tolerances, surface finish and dimensional control
Ability to read engineering drawings
Knowledge of offsets, tool setting and program corrections
Practical problem-solving ability
Preferred:
Fanuc CNC control experience
Experience with precision engineering / defence / aerospace / automotive components
