CNC Plasma Programmer & Operator | Palakkad

YesCube is looking for a highly skilled and technically proficient CNC Plasma Programmer & Nesting Specialist to take full ownership of our Multi-Torch machine’s programming, optimization, and operation management.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Program Development & Management:

• Create, debug, and optimize complex G-code and M-code CNC programs for the 6-torch plasma cutter, ensuring high precision cuts for various PEB components (flanges, webs, stiffeners, etc.).
• Maintain and manage a clean, organized library of all cutting programs and revisions.

Nesting Optimization (Critical):

• Utilize advanced nesting software (e.g., SigmaNEST, ProNest, etc.) to develop efficient cutting layouts, maximizing material utilization and significantly minimizing steel plate scrap and waste.
• Determine the optimal plate sizes, orientations, and cutting sequences for multi-torch operation.

Process Quality & Efficiency:

• Set and adjust cutting parameters (amperage, voltage, gas flow, speed, standoff) to achieve the highest possible cut quality while minimizing consumables wear and cycle time.
• Monitor machine performance, troubleshoot programming and cutting issues (e.g., dross, taper, piercing problems), and implement corrective actions.

Engineering Collaboration:

• Interpret technical drawings, blueprints, and engineering specifications from the Design team to translate them accurately into cutting programs.
• Work with the Production Planning team to sequence cutting jobs efficiently based on production schedules.

Training & Safety:

• Provide hands-on training and guidance to machine operators on program loading, setup, and safe operating procedures for the new 6-torch system.
• Ensure strict adherence to all machine safety protocols and maintain a clean, organized work area.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS & SKILLS

Technical Expertise (Must-Haves)

• Minimum 3+ years of direct experience in CNC programming for plasma, oxy-fuel, or laser cutting machines.
• Demonstrated expertise in steel plate nesting software and material yield optimization.
• High proficiency in reading and interpreting complex engineering drawings and specifications.
• Strong working knowledge of G-code and M-code programming.
• Deep technical understanding of the plasma cutting process and its impact on material properties and cut quality.
• Experience operating and programming multi-torch or multi-head cutting systems.

Education

• ITI/Diploma/B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering, Production Technology, or a related field.
• Relevant certifications in CNC programming or CAD/CAM are highly desirable.

Soft Skills

• Exceptional attention to detail and a high commitment to quality control.
• Proven ability to work independently and troubleshoot technical issues under pressure.
• Excellent communication skills to train staff and liaise with engineering/production teams.
