Job Description

Senior CNC Lathe Programmer & Tooling Specialist

About Us

We are a leading precision engineering and manufacturing company committed to quality, innovation, and operational excellence. We specialize in delivering high-quality engineered solutions—specifically in specialized mould tooling and high-volume sintered carbon turning—while building a workplace where talented professionals can learn, grow, and build long-term careers. We are looking for motivated engineering professionals who want to contribute to world-class manufacturing solutions.

Job Overview

We are seeking a dynamic and experienced Senior CNC Lathe Programmer & Tooling Specialist to take complete technical ownership of our turning operations. Because we have dedicated setters and operators on the shop floor, your focus will be entirely on high-level programming, precision tooling selection, tool setting, and process optimization. The ideal candidate should have strong problem-solving skills and the ability to independently take a component from an engineering drawing all the way to production optimization.

Roles and Responsibilities

Develop, write, and prove out complex CNC lathe programs using Fanuc and Siemens controls, utilizing G-code, canned cycles, macros, and CAM software.
Select appropriate cutting tools, insert grades, geometries, and holders (including carbide and PCD/diamond tooling for carbon machining).
Establish tool settings, tool offsets, work coordinates, zero points, and apply tool nose radius compensation (G41/G42) effectively.
Define appropriate roughing and finishing strategies, feeds, speeds, and depths of cut.
Optimize machining parameters to dramatically improve cycle time and tool life.
Prevent shop-floor issues such as edge chipping, chatter, and dimensional variation.
Prepare detailed setup sheets and tool lists to guide setters and operators.
Troubleshoot dimensional deviations, tooling issues, and machining problems on the shop floor.
Continuously identify opportunities to improve productivity, accuracy, and machining efficiency.

Required Skills & Experience

Minimum 3+ years of highly independent, hands-on experience in CNC Lathe / CNC Turning Center programming and tooling.
Expertise in Fanuc and Siemens CNC controls, G-code, and canned cycles.
Exceptional engineering drawing reading skills and ability to calculate machining parameters.
Strong practical experience in CNC program prove-out, troubleshooting, and cycle-time optimization.
Desirable: Familiarity with ESPRIT CAM, SolidWorks 3D, AutoCAD 2D, conventional lathe operations, quick-turn fixture development, or machining sintered carbon/graphite with PCD tooling.

Who Can Apply

We welcome technically strong CNC professionals who enjoy precision machining and process improvement. Candidates who meet the following criteria are encouraged to apply:

Professionals with 3+ years of dedicated CNC Lathe Programming experience looking to step up into a technical ownership role.
Problem-solvers who can seamlessly execute the entire workflow.
Individuals who want to take ownership beyond routine machine operation and drive the actual engineering of the process.

Benefits

Highly Competitive Compensation: ₹50,000 – ₹70,000 CTC per month
Excellent Work-Life Balance: Fixed Day Shift (8:30 AM – 6:00 PM)
Professional and Supportive Work Environment
Hands-on experience with advanced materials and high-precision tooling
Long-Term Career Development Opportunities

Why Join Us

At our organization, you will have the opportunity to work in a growing engineering company where your technical strategies directly impact manufacturing excellence. We offer an environment where you are not just running a machine, but engineering the entire process. If you are looking to build a stable, rewarding, and highly technical career in precision machining, this is the right opportunity for you.
