Engineering / New Product Development / Manufacturing Engineering Experience:

4-8 Years Role Type:

Full-time | Shop-floor intensive Yamada Automation is looking for a

hands-on Development Engineer

who can convert customer drawings and technical requirements into

robust, economical and production-ready machining processes . The role involves

end-to-end ownership of new component development

- from drawing feasibility and process planning to tooling, fixture development, CNC prove-out, dimensional validation, cycle-time stabilization and final handover to production. Key Responsibilities

Read and interpret complex engineering drawings,

GD&T;, datums, tolerances, fits and surface-finish requirements Conduct manufacturing feasibility reviews and identify machining, tolerance and inspection challenges Develop complete machining process routes for

castings, forgings and raw-material components Select suitable

HMC, VMC, CNC turning center, VTL and support processes Define machining setups, datum strategy, operation sequence and process parameters Select and optimize

cutting tools, inserts, holders, feeds, speeds and depth of cut Design/develop

fixtures and workholding systems

using sound 3-2-1 locating principles Apply

hydraulic/pneumatic fixtures, tombstones and 4th-axis concepts

where appropriate Coordinate/create CNC programs and conduct

dry runs, prove-outs and first-off machining Optimize cycle time, tool life, setup time,



machine utilization and cost per component Troubleshoot

dimensional variation, chatter, tool breakage, poor surface finish and fixture instability Prepare process sheets, setup sheets, tooling lists, fixture documentation and CNC program revision records Work closely with

Quality, Production, Purchase and Maintenance

for FAI, PPAP and production handover Train operators/setters on new setups and critical process controls Technical Skills Required Robust practical knowledge of: Engineering Drawings & GD&T; | HMC | VMC | CNC Turning | CAD/CAM | CNC Programming | Cutting Tools | Fixtures & Workholding | Feeds & Speeds | Process Planning | Cycle-Time Optimization | FAI | PPAP | Root-Cause Analysis Experience in machining

cast iron, SG iron, steel, alloy steel and aluminium components

is preferred. Exposure to

horizontal tombstones, 4th-axis machining, hydraulic/pneumatic clamping and cast/forged components

will be an advantage. Qualification & Experience

Diploma / B.E. / B.Tech in

Mechanical, Production, Manufacturing or Tool Engineering Preferred experience:

4-8 years

in machining development/manufacturing engineering Experience in

automotive, railway,



heavy engineering, precision machining or similar industries Hands-on exposure to

HMCs, VMCs and CNC turning centers is essential Working knowledge of

MS Excel and Word

for technical documentation and development reports Who Should Apply? We are looking for a

shop-floor-oriented engineer , not someone with only theoretical process knowledge. The ideal candidate should be able to move confidently between a

customer drawing, CAD/CAM system, CNC machine, cutting tool, fixture and inspection process

and take ownership until the component is proven and the process is stable for regular production. The candidate should be

analytical, disciplined, data-driven and commercially aware , with the ability to balance

quality, cycle time, tooling cost, fixture cost and machine utilization . Selection Process Shortlisted candidates should be prepared for a practical technical assessment covering: Engineering drawing & GD&T; interpretation Process route, machine selection and setup planning Cutting-tool selection and feeds/speeds calculation Fixture concept and datum/clamping strategy Troubleshooting of machining problems such as

bore position error, chatter, tool failure and excessive cycle time Interested candidates can apply through LinkedIn or share their CV at [Email ID]. #Hiring #DevelopmentEngineer #ManufacturingEngineer #CNC #CNCMachining #HMC #VMC #GDandT #ProcessEngineering #Manufacturing #ProductionEngineering #Machining #HimachalPradesh #Nalagarh
