Function: Engineering / New Product Development / Manufacturing Engineering

n

Experience: 4-8 Years

n

Role Type: Full-time | Shop-floor intensive

n

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.

n

The role involves end-to-end ownership of recent 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.

n

Key Responsibilities

n

n
- Read and interpret complex engineering drawings, GD&T;, datums, tolerances, fits and surface-finish requirements
n
- Conduct manufacturing feasibility reviews and identify machining, tolerance and inspection challenges
n
- Develop complete machining process routes for castings, forgings and raw-material components
n
- Select suitable HMC, VMC, CNC turning center, VTL and support processes
n
- Define machining setups, datum strategy, operation sequence and process parameters
n
- Select and optimize cutting tools, inserts, holders, feeds, speeds and depth of cut
n
- Design/develop fixtures and workholding systems using sound 3-2-1 locating principles
n
- Apply hydraulic/pneumatic fixtures, tombstones and 4th-axis concepts where appropriate
n
- Coordinate/create CNC programs and conduct dry runs, prove-outs and first-off machining
n
- Optimize cycle time, tool life,



setup time, machine utilization and cost per component
n
- Troubleshoot dimensional variation, chatter, tool breakage, poor surface finish and fixture instability
n
- Prepare process sheets, setup sheets, tooling lists, fixture documentation and CNC program revision records
n
- Work closely with Quality, Production, Purchase and Maintenance for FAI, PPAP and production handover
n
- Train operators/setters on new setups and critical process controls
n

n

Technical Skills Required

n

Strong practical knowledge of:

n

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

n

Experience in machining cast iron, SG iron, steel, alloy steel and aluminium components is preferred.

n

Exposure to horizontal tombstones, 4th-axis machining, hydraulic/pneumatic clamping and cast/forged components will be an advantage.

n

Qualification & Experience

n

n
- Diploma / B.E. / B.Tech in Mechanical, Production, Manufacturing or Tool Engineering
n
- Preferred experience: 4-8 years in machining development/manufacturing engineering
n
- Experience in automotive, railway,



heavy engineering, precision machining or similar industries
n
- Hands-on exposure to HMCs, VMCs and CNC turning centers is essential
n
- Working knowledge of MS Excel and Word for technical documentation and development reports
n

n

Who Should Apply?

n

We are looking for a shop-floor-oriented engineer, not someone with only theoretical process knowledge.

n

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.

n

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.

n

Selection Process

n

Shortlisted candidates should be prepared for a practical technical assessment covering:

n

n
- Engineering drawing & GD&T; interpretation
n
- Process route, machine selection and setup planning
n
- Cutting-tool selection and feeds/speeds calculation
n
- Fixture concept and datum/clamping strategy
n
- Troubleshooting of machining problems such as bore position error, chatter, tool failure and excessive cycle time
n
