Location: Chennai
Experience: 4–6 years
Qualification: Bachelor’s degree or diploma in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Production, Automobile Engineering or a related discipline.
Open Position: 01

Role Overview

The engineer will develop and deliver optimized machining process plans and CNC programs for prismatic and powertrain components. The role requires hands-on experience in machining methods, NX CAM programming, tooling validation, manufacturing documentation, and independent coordination with program and manufacturing engineering teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Review component, tooling, fixture, machine and manufacturing inputs with relevant engineering stakeholders.
• Develop high-level machining process plans and detailed operation sequences.
• Create machining process plans and generate CNC programs using NX CAM / NX Manufacturing.
• Prepare cycle-time charts and support estimation of the optimized number of machines for the required production volume.
• Develop and optimize CNC programs for milling, drilling, tapping and related machining operations.
• Review 2D drawings and 3D models of parts, fixtures, adapter plates, tools and machine assemblies.
• Validate cutting-tool drawings and provide technically sound feedback.
• Create required sections and manufacturing views and support GD&T detailing in drawings.
• Maintain engineering data and applicable documentation in Teamcenter or an equivalent PLM environment.
• Review outputs with manufacturing and program engineers, incorporate feedback and support final release.
• Prepare weekly progress summaries, issue reports, recommendations and supporting engineering documentation.
• Update applicable work instructions, procedures and checklists based on approved changes and lessons learned.

Required Technical Skills

• Strong understanding of machining processes, including milling, drilling, tapping and related operations.
• Practical knowledge of machining parameters, feeds, speeds, tolerances and cycle-time optimization.
• Sound knowledge of machine tools, cutting tools, fixtures and manufacturing fundamentals.
• Hands-on experience with NX CAM and NX CAD; exposure to Teamcenter and AutoCAD is preferred.
• Good understanding of engineering drawings, GD&T and their application in manufacturing.
• Ability to interpret 2D drawings, 3D CAD models and supplier-provided STEP/STP data.
• Ability to develop, validate and deliver CNC programs independently.
• Working knowledge of manufacturing quality checks, configuration control and document release processes.

Experience and Qualification

• 4–6 years of relevant experience in machining process planning, CNC programming or manufacturing engineering.
• Bachelor’s degree or diploma in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Production, Automobile Engineering or a related discipline.
• Experience supporting automotive, powertrain, industrial machinery or comparable precision-manufacturing programs is preferred.

Soft Skills

• Clear written and verbal communication.
• Good presentation and stakeholder-coordination skills.
• 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 machining plans, CNC programs, reports and supporting documentation.
• High first-time-right quality and adherence to agreed engineering checklists.
• Prompt identification, communication and closure of input, tool, system and delivery risks.
• Participation in technical reviews and periodic project-governance meetings.
• Corrective-action support for quality or delivery deviations, when required.
