CNC Process Engineer

About the role

Perform process planning, CAM programming, tool-path simulation and post-processing to generate G-M codes for CNC machining-center (3-axis / 4-axis) parts based on customer 2D drawings and 3D models. Define machining sequences, select cutting tools, set spindle speed and feed rate parameters; design simple fixtures, evaluate clamping solutions, and control machining deformation, dimensional tolerances and surface quality.

Key responsibilities

• Perform process planning, CAM programming, tool-path simulation and post-processing to generate G-M codes for CNC machining-center parts
• Define machining sequences, select cutting tools, set spindle speed and feed rate parameters
• Design simple fixtures, evaluate clamping solutions, and control machining deformation, dimensional tolerances and surface quality
• Participate in New Product Introduction (NPI), follow up First Article (FA) trial runs and machine-setup validation
• Resolve trial-run issues and issue first-article reports
• Troubleshoot on-site programming and process anomalies during mass production
• Optimize existing CNC programs and manufacturing processes to shorten cycle time and improve yield
• Compile process-related documents including process sheets and Work Instructions (WI)
• Collaborate with production, quality and engineering teams and participate in process reviews and Design for Manufacturability (DFM) analysis
• Monitor machine tool performance and build up process parameter libraries

About you

• Diploma in Mechanical / Manufacturing / Mechatronic Engineering, or SPM plus technical certificates
• 3-5 years of hands-on experience in CNC milling / mill-turn programming and process engineering
• Capable of independently completing full workflows from drawing interpretation, programming to first-article commissioning
• Proficient in UG-NX CAM
• Competent in reading 3D models and processing drawings with AutoCAD
• Able to interpret GD&T geometric tolerances, dimensional tolerances and surface roughness specifications
• Familiar with FANUC, Mitsubishi and Siemens CNC systems
• Understand G/M codes and operating principles of machining centers
• Familiar with cutting characteristics of metals including aluminum, carbon steel, stainless steel and copper
• Possess knowledge of tool selection, cutting parameters and fixture design concepts
