CNC Programmer

To operate, set, and program CNC machines (Turning / VMC / HMC as applicable) to manufacture precision auto components as per drawings, quality standards, and production targets.

• Key Responsibilities:1. CNC OperationOperate CNC Turning / VMC / HMC machines to produce precision auto components.
• Perform loading/unloading of components and ensure smooth production cycles.
• Monitor machining parameters and adjust offsets as required.
• Ensure first-piece approval before mass production.
• 2. CNC SettingSet up machines with required tools, fixtures, and work-holding devices.
• Perform tool presetting, tool offset entry, and job alignment.
• Validate machine setup through trial cuts and sample inspection.
• Minimize changeover time and ensure proper documentation of settings.
• 3. CNC ProgrammingCreate, edit, and optimize CNC programs (Fanuc / Siemens / Mitsubishi or other relevant controls).
• Read and interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, and process sheets.
• Optimize cutting parameters to improve cycle time and tool life.
• Store and maintain program backup records.
• 4. Quality & InspectionUse measuring instruments such as Vernier Caliper, Micrometer, Height Gauge, Bore Gauge, Thread Gauge, and CMM (basic understanding).
• Ensure components meet dimensional and surface finish requirements.
• Record in-process inspection results as per quality check sheets.
• Escalate abnormalities and ensure corrective actions.
• 5. Maintenance & 5SPerform daily machine checks—coolant, lubrication, tool wear monitoring.
• Report breakdowns and support maintenance teams for quick resolution.
• Maintain 5S in the work area (cleanliness, tool organization, safety).
• 6. Documentation & ReportingMaintain production logs, tool life records, and program sheets.
• Adhere to ISO/IATF 16949 standards followed in auto component manufacturing.
• Report production achievement, scrap, and rework.
• Required Skills & Competencies:Strong knowledge of CNC programming (G-codes, M-codes).
• Ability to read engineering drawings & GD&T.
• Experience in tool selection, cutting parameters, and machining processes.
• Hands-on experience in auto component machining (shafts, flanges, housings, precision turned parts, etc.).
• Good understanding of process control, SPC, and quality systems.
• Analytical, problem-solving, and troubleshooting skills.
• Basic computer skills for data entry and documentation.
• Education & Experience:ITI / Diploma in Mechanical, Machinist, Tool & Die, or equivalent.
• 2–6 years of experience as CNC Operator/Setter; at least 1–3 years programming experience.
• Experience in auto components manufacturing (Tier-1 / Tier-2 suppliers) preferred.
