Key Responsibilities
· Prepare and release process sheets,
setup sheets, and routing plans for machining operations.
· Design and/or select jigs, fixtures,
and tooling (mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic) to support efficient
machining.
· Conduct machining feasibility studies and provide Design for Manufacturability (DFM) inputs.
· Estimate cycle time, tooling, and
part costing for machined components, including overheads.
· Standardize workholding, tooling, and
inspection methods across machines and vendor base.
· Drive lean manufacturing initiatives (Kaizen, SMED, 5S) to improve productivity and reduce waste.
· Support vendor development team with process audits, capability assessments, and technical guidance.
· Define and implement inspection
stages, tolerances, and in-process checks in line with GD&T and quality
requirements.
Requirements
Education & Qualifications
· B.Tech / Diploma in Mechanical
Engineering / Production / Tool Design.
· Certification in Lean / Six Sigma /
CAD-CAM / Tool Design will be an added advantage.
Experience Required
· Minimum: 6–8 years in CNC
machining / manufacturing engineering.
· Ideal: 8–12 years with strong
exposure to process planning, costing, jigs & fixtures, and vendor
support.
· Domain preference: Aerospace,
Automotive, Defence, or Precision Machining.
