The role includes selecting appropriate tools, defining machining parameters, proving out programs, and performing in-process inspections to ensure accuracy and compliance. The machinist plays a key role in maintaining productivity, optimizing machining processes, reducing cycle times, and ensuring first-time-right quality while following safety and housekeeping standards. Requirements Key Responsibilities Ø Adherence to level Machining Planning – Study route cards, blueprints, engineering drawings, and material specifications; interpret GD&T to define precise machining requirements for milling operations. Ø CNC Programming (Milling) – Create, read, and edit NC programs for 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis milling machines; set reference points, tool registers, offsets, and compensations; validate and prove out part programs. Ø Machine Setup – Set up milling machines by installing and aligning tools, cutters, fixtures, and vises; adjust collets, bushings, and attachments to achieve correct setup and rigidity. Ø Operational Verification – Inspect first-run and sample workpieces using measuring instruments; ensure accuracy of dimensions, surface finish, and tolerances before running full batches. Ø Cutting Parameters – Select and apply optimal cutting speeds, feeds, and depths of cut; monitor tool wear, replace inserts/cutters, and ensure consistent machining quality. Ø Equipment Maintenance – Carry out routine cleaning, lubrication, and preventive maintenance of milling machines; troubleshoot and coordinate repairs when required. Ø Shift Handover & Documentation – Record production data, inspection results, and machine performance; hand over accurate updates to incoming shifts to maintain workflow continuity. Ø Continuous Improvement – Support cycle-time reduction, process optimization, and cost-per-component (CPC) improvement through feedback and new methods. Ø Safety & Compliance – Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs), maintain workplace safety, and ensure compliance with quality management standards. Ø Instruments: Handling and setting of precision instruments and gauges ( Bore gauge, Height master, Groove caliper, ETC.) Ø Preparedness for setups: Need to ensure all parameters like Drawings, Tools, Gauges, and Raw Material availability are ready 2 hours before the setting. Ø Goal Achievement Ø Take ownership of responsibilities to meet organizational objectives. Ø Proactively handle new requests and identify opportunities to add value. Benefits Key credentials Behavioural Attributes: Ø Demonstrates strong respect for people, work, and societal responsibilities. Ø Environmentally conscious and committed to sustainable practices. Ø Customer-focused with a mindset oriented toward delivering value and success Ø Adaptable to organizational culture and open to change in dynamic environments. Ø Passionate about talent development and team empowerment. Education & Experience: Ø Education: ITI or Diploma (Polytechnic/NTTF/GTTC) in Mechanical Engineering, or bachelor’s degree (BE/B. Tech) in Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent qualification. Ø Experience: 2–4 years of hands-on experience in the manufacturing of precision CNC-machined parts, machined castings, or forgings. Ø Computer Skills: Exposure to Microsoft Office Suite (Preferred- Excel). Ø Technical Proficiency: Strong operational knowledge of CNC machines; proficient in working with Fanuc, Mitsubishi, Heidenhain, and Siemens controllers (3,4& 5 axis). Ø Programming Knowledge: Ability to read and interpret NC programs and perform necessary modifications to resolve machining challenges. Ø Process Improvement: Demonstrated experience in efficiency enhancement, process optimization, and productivity improvement initiatives. Ø Production Expertise: Skilled in reviewing and applying technical specifications such as cutting parameters, speeds, feeds, and RPM, while maintaining accurate manufacturing documentation. Ø Tooling Knowledge: Sound understanding of cutting tool nomenclature and its application in machining processes. Ø Communication: Effective verbal and written communication skills with strong interpersonal and presentation skills. Preferred Certifications(Added Advantage): Ø CNC Programming & Controller Certifications Ø Fanuc / Mitsubishi / Haas CNC Programming & Operation Ø NTTF / GTTC / CIPET Certified CNC Programmer Ø Process & Quality Improvement Ø Six Sigma (Green Belt or higher), Lean Manufacturing, 5S, Kaizen Ø ISO 9001:2015 Internal Auditor Certification Ø Technical Skills Enhancement Ø GD&T (ASME Y14.5) Certification, CMM Programming Ø CAD/CAM Software (e.g., Mastercam, SolidWorks), Advanced MS Excel
