Role Overview

The engineer will create and deliver station-wise machining process sheets, cutting-tool illustrations, and manufacturing engineering drawings for precision-machined components. The role requires strong understanding of machining processes, cutting tools, GD&T, engineering drawings, and controlled release of technical documentation using NX CAD and Teamcenter.

Key Responsibilities

• Collect and review inputs from program, manufacturing, process and tooling stakeholders.
• Interpret component drawings, manufacturing requirements, tooling data, fixture models and machine information.
• Develop station-wise machining process sheets and detailed manufacturing documentation.
• Create cutting-tool designs and illustrations with all necessary manufacturing details.
• Prepare and update engineering drawings using NX CAD and AutoCAD, as applicable.
• Create assembly, part, fixture and tooling views, including required cut sections and designed views.
• Apply manufacturing GD&T and dimensional detailing in accordance with applicable standards.
• Classify, maintain and release 2D and 3D engineering data in Teamcenter or an equivalent PLM system.
• Upload approved process sheets and deliverables to designated project repositories.
• Review deliverables with manufacturing and program engineers, incorporate feedback and support final release.
• Maintain reconciliation matrices, work instructions, procedures, checklists and revision records.
• Prepare periodic status reports, issue summaries and technical recommendations.

Required Technical Skills

• Strong knowledge of machining processes used for precision and powertrain components.
• Practical understanding of cutting tools, tool assemblies, fixtures, adapter plates and machine-tool fundamentals.
• Hands-on experience in NX CAD for creating and detailing manufacturing drawings.
• Working knowledge of Teamcenter for engineering-data classification, revision control and document release.
• Exposure to AutoCAD for reviewing or updating 2D technical drawings.
• Sound understanding of engineering drawings, tolerances and GD&T application in manufacturing.
• Ability to interpret supplier and engineering inputs in 2D, 3D, STEP and STP formats.
• Ability to independently develop accurate process sheets and tool-illustration deliverables.
• Knowledge of manufacturing quality checks and first-time-right documentation practices.

Experience and Qualification

• 4-6 years of relevant experience in manufacturing process documentation, tool design/illustration, production engineering or machining engineering.
• Bachelor's degree or diploma in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Production, Automobile Engineering or a related discipline.
• Experience supporting automotive, powertrain, industrial machinery or similar precision-manufacturing programs is preferred.

Soft Skills

• Clear written and verbal communication.
• Good presentation and stakeholder-coordination skills.
• Strong attention to detail and document accuracy.
• Analytical approach to issue investigation and problem solving.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating with cross-functional teams.
• Strong ownership of quality, schedule and deliverables.

Performance Expectations

• On-time delivery of process sheets, tool illustrations, drawings, reports and supporting documentation.
• High first-time-right quality and adherence to agreed engineering checklists.
• Timely identification and communication of missing inputs, access constraints and delivery risks.
• Effective participation in technical reviews and periodic project-status meetings.
• Corrective-action support for quality or delivery deviations, when required.
