requirements.

- Prepare process sheets, setup instructions, and machining documentation.
- Standardize machining practices and procedures.

3. CNC Simulation & Verification

- Perform tool path verification and machine simulation to prevent collisions.
- Validate machining programs before shop-floor implementation.
- Analyze and resolve machining-related issues using simulation tools.

4. Tooling & Fixture Development

- Select suitable cutting tools, tool holders, and machining fixtures.
- Coordinate with design teams for fixture development and optimization.
- Improve fixture concepts to enhance productivity and quality.

5. Manufacturing Support

- Provide technical guidance to CNC operators and manufacturing teams.
- Support first-off manufacturing trials and prove-out activities.
- Troubleshoot machining issues and implement corrective actions.

6. Productivity Improvement

- Optimize cycle times and machine utilization.
- Implement cost-reduction and process-improvement initiatives.
- Develop best practices for turbine blade machining.

7. Quality Assurance

- Ensure compliance with dimensional, profile, and surface-finish requirements.




- Support CMM inspection and quality validation activities.
- Conduct root cause analysis for machining deviations and quality concerns.

8. Cross-Functional Coordination

- Work closely with CAD, Design, Quality, Manufacturing, and Production teams.
- Coordinate with outsourcing vendors for machining activities.
- Support new product development and process qualification programs.

9. Technical Leadership

- Mentor junior CAM engineers and programmers.
- Review and approve machining strategies and CAM programs.
- Lead continuous improvement and technical excellence initiatives.

Required Skills
