CNC PROGRAMMER CUM OPERATOR – TURNING & MILLING

Job Description:

Key Responsibilities

1. CNC Programming and Machining

• Develop, modify, and optimize CNC programs for both turning and milling operations.
• Interpret engineering drawings, component specifications, and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T)

Requirements.

• Generate machining programs and tool paths using appropriate CAD/CAM tools.
• Optimize machining parameters and cycle times while maintaining dimensional accuracy and surface finish.
• Troubleshoot programming errors and improve existing programs for efficient production.

2. Machine Setup and Operation

• Set up and independently operate CNC Turning (CNC Lathe) and CNC Milling machines.
• Select appropriate cutting tools, fixtures, work-holding arrangements, and machining parameters.
• Load, test, and validate CNC programs before production runs.
• Monitor machining operations and make necessary program or parameter adjustments.
• Identify and resolve machining issues, tool wear, and production deviations.

3. Quality Control and Inspection

• Perform in-process dimensional inspections using instruments such as vernier calipers, micrometers, bore gauges, and height gauges.
• Ensure components meet specified tolerances, dimensions, and surface-finish requirements.
• Coordinate with the quality team to address inspection observations and maintain consistent product quality.

4. Documentation and Shop-Floor Management

• Maintain CNC programs, setup sheets, production records, and inspection documentation.
• Follow established manufacturing processes, safety procedures, and quality standards.
• Maintain machine cleanliness and perform routine machine-care activities.
• Coordinate with production and quality teams to meet production schedules and delivery requirements.

Required Qualifications and Experience

• ITI, Diploma, or B. Tech in Mechanical Engineering, Production Engineering, Machinist, Turner, or a related discipline.

 3–8 years of relevant experience in CNC programming and machining operations.

• Hands-on experience with both CNC Turning and CNC Milling, including programming and machine operation.
• Ability to independently interpret engineering drawings and GD&T specifications.
• Practical knowledge of tooling selection, machining parameters, tolerances, and dimensional inspection.
