About the role
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. 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: 68 years in CNC machining / manufacturing engineering. Ideal: 812 years with strong exposure to process planning, costing, jigs & fixtures, and vendor support . Domain preference: Aerospace, Automotive, Defence, or Precision Machining. Key Skills Required 1. Process Planning & DFM Ability to prepare process sheets, optimize machining sequences, and assess manufacturability. 2. Fixture & Tooling Design – Proficiency in designing and validating jigs, fixtures, and tooling (mechanical/hydraulic/pneumatic). 3. Costing & Cycle Time Estimation – Expertise in cycle time calculation, tooling costing, and part cost estimation. 4. GD&T & Tolerance Analysis – Strong understanding of GD&T, stack-up analysis, and inspection requirements. 5. Lean Manufacturing & Productivity Improvement – Hands-on experience in Kaizen, SMED, 5S, and process standardization.
