Job Description

Job Title: CAM Machining Engineer Department: CNC Programming & Machining Location: Loni, Ghaziabad Company: PreetGroup Heavy Engineering & CNC Fabrication Job Summary: We are looking for a skilled and detail-oriented CAM Machining Engineer with expertise in SolidCAM programming for multi-axis CNC machining operations. The ideal candidate will be responsible for generating precise CAM programs for a variety of components, including fabricated structures, steel parts, aluminum, and castings —ranging from medium to large sizes—used in critical applications such as material handling and heavy machinery. Key Responsibilities: Develop CAM programs using SolidCAM (integrated with SolidWorks) for a range of CNC machines including VMCs, VTLs, and Turning Centers . Generate 2D and 3D tool paths for complex geometries and operations involving milling, turning, drilling, and contouring . Interpret 2D mechanical drawings and convert them into CAM programs for 2D machining operations . Select appropriate tools, cutting parameters, and machining strategies to ensure surface finish, accuracy, and cycle time optimization. Work with machinists and production teams to ensure successful execution of programs on the shop floor. Simulate and validate tool paths using SolidCAM before deployment to minimize errors and reduce machine downtime. Assist in fixture design, setup sheets, and process planning documentation. Continuously improve programs and processes for higher efficiency and reduced wastage. Key Skills & Competencies: Proficient in SolidCAM programming for both 2D and 3D operations. Strong understanding of G-code , machine kinematics, and CNC controller interfaces (Fanuc, Siemens, etc.). Sound knowledge of machining processes including roughing, semi-finishing, and finishing of fabricated and cast components. Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings , GD&T, and material specs. Hands-on experience in programming for materials like steel, aluminum, and cast iron in both medium and large sizes. Familiarity with precision machining , tight tolerance control , and tool life management . Effective communication and collaboration with design and production teams. Qualifications & Experience: Diploma / B.E. / B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering , Manufacturing Engineering , or related field. 3–7 years of experience in CAM programming , with proven hands-on exposure to SolidCAM . Experience in a fabrication-heavy or precision machining environment is essential. Preferred Background: Candidates with experience in heavy equipment manufacturing , tool rooms , or companies like PreetGroup involved in EOT cranes, large assemblies, and custom engineering solutions will be preferred.
