- 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
