Role & responsibilities

- Study 2D / 3D casting/machining drawings and RFQs; identify material, finished dimensions, tolerances, GD&T;, surface finish and critical features.
- Develop operation-wise process routes covering turning, milling, drilling, boring, tapping, grinding and other applicable operations.
- Determine machine selection, setup sequence, work holding requirements and cycle time for each operation.
- Calculate machining cost including machine-hour rate, setup time, cycle time, labor, tooling, consumables, inspection and overheads.
- Estimate cutting-tool consumption, tool life, fixtures/work holding, gauges and special tooling where applicable.
- Consider casting allowance, machining allowance, datum strategy, clamping and casting variability in costing.
- Prepare component-wise machining should-cost,



compare supplier quotations and identify major cost drivers / cost-reduction opportunities.
- Coordinate with Foundry, Methodology, Production, Tool Room, Quality, Purchase and Commercial teams.

Required Technical Skills
