About the Role

We are looking for a skilled and creative CNC Router Designer cum Operator to handle both the design and production side of our CNC work on stone and wood. The ideal candidate can take a concept, sketch, or client reference, convert it into a production-ready 2D/3D design, generate accurate toolpaths, and run the machine to deliver a high-quality finished product. This role suits someone who enjoys the artistic side of carving as much as the technical side of machining.

Key Responsibilities

Design & Programming

- Create 2D and 3D designs for carving, engraving, relief work, jali/lattice patterns, inlay, lettering, and decorative panels on stone and wood.
- Convert client drawings, photos, sketches, and reference images into CNC-ready vector and relief files.
- Generate optimized toolpaths (roughing, finishing, profiling, V-carving, pocketing, drilling) using CAM software.
- Select appropriate tools, feeds, speeds, depth of cut, and step-over based on material type, hardness, and design detail.
- Maintain an organized library of designs, templates, and tool settings for repeat orders.
- Estimate machining time and material requirements for quotations and production planning.

Machine Operation

- Set up and operate CNC router machines for stone (marble, granite, sandstone, etc.) and wood (solid wood, MDF, plywood, etc.).
- Load programs, set work zero/origin, mount tools, and secure material using clamps or vacuum tables.
- Monitor machining operations, make on-the-spot adjustments, and ensure accuracy and finish quality.
- Manage water cooling and slurry handling for stone work, and dust extraction for wood work.
- Inspect finished pieces against design specifications and rework where necessary.

Maintenance & Safety

- Carry out routine machine maintenance, including cleaning, lubrication, spindle care, and checking guide rails, belts, and ball screws.
- Monitor tool wear and maintain tool inventory (router bits, diamond tools, engraving cutters).




- Report and help troubleshoot machine faults, controller errors, and electrical or mechanical issues.
- Follow workshop safety practices and use PPE at all times.

Coordination

- Work with the sales and production team to understand customer requirements and customization requests.
- Suggest design improvements for better aesthetics, machining efficiency, and reduced material wastage.
- Guide and train helpers or junior operators when required.

Required Skills

- Hands-on proficiency in one or more CAD/CAM software such as ArtCAM, Vectric Aspire / VCarve, Type3, JDPaint, EnRoute, AutoCAD, CorelDRAW, Rhino, or Fusion 360.
- Robust ability to create 3D relief models and decorative/ornamental designs.
- Working knowledge of CNC controllers such as DSP (Richauto), NcStudio, Mach3, Syntec, or similar.
- Good understanding of G-code basics, tool selection, and cutting parameters for both stone and wood.
- Knowledge of material behaviour, grain direction in wood, and hardness/brittleness of different stones.
- Ability to read technical drawings and take accurate measurements.
- Eye for detail, finishing quality, and artistic proportion.

Qualifications & Experience

- ITI / Diploma in Mechanical, Tool & Die, CNC Programming, or a related field. Candidates with equivalent practical experience are also welcome.
- 3 to 5 years of hands-on experience as a CNC router designer and/or operator, preferably in stone carving, woodworking, furniture, interior décor, or signage industries.
- A portfolio of past design work (photos of finished pieces or design files) is strongly preferred.

Preferred (Good to Have)

- Experience with multi-axis or rotary-axis (3rd axis) CNC routers for pillars, balusters, or 3D sculptures.
- Experience with laser machines or other CNC equipment.
- Basic knowledge of electrical troubleshooting for CNC machines.
- Experience handling temple, monument, architectural, or luxury interior projects.

Pay: ₹20,000.00 - ₹30,000.00 per month
