Location: Peenya-2nd Stage Bangalore Department: Manufacturing / Tooling / Engineering Reports To: Manager – Manufacturing Engineering / Tooling Job Description: To lead the NC Programming team responsible for machining aerospace jigs and fixtures, ensuring precision, process efficiency, and on-time delivery. The role includes program development, team coordination, technical review and driving continuous improvement aligned with aerospace standards. Key Responsibilities: 1. Team & Project Leadership: Lead and mentor a team of NC Programmers for fixture and tooling projects. Allocate and monitor team workloads to ensure project timelines and quality targets are met. Coordinate with cross-functional teams (Design, Quality and Production) for seamless project execution. Review NC programs, simulations, and machining strategies prepared by the team. 2. Technical Oversight: Oversee the development of 3-axis / 5-axis NC programs using DELCAM and SOLIDCAM Ensure optimization of machining strategies including tool selection, feeds/speeds, and cutting paths. Validate NC programs through simulation and on-machine verification, ensuring safety and accuracy. Provide guidance on GD&T, tolerance stack-up, and surface finish requirements for tooling parts. 3. Process Management & Improvement: Standardize NC programming procedures, documentation, and setup sheets. Drive continuous improvement initiatives to reduce machining cycle time and increase productivity. Troubleshoot and resolve complex machining/programming issues during production trials. Ensure programs comply with aerospace standards (AS9100) and customer specifications. 4. Reporting & Documentation: Prepare weekly progress reports, resource utilization, and project status updates. Ensure all NC program-related documentation is maintained accurately and archived properly. Participate in audits and support process documentation and corrective actions. Skills & Competencies: Strong hands-on experience in DELCAM, MASTERCAM & CATIA V5 for NC programming. Sound knowledge of aerospace jigs & fixture design, tooling assembly tolerances, and machining principles. In-depth understanding of G-codes/M-codes and multi-axis CNC operations. Strong team management and leadership skills. Excellent communication, problem-solving, and time management abilities. Familiarity with AS9100 quality requirements and aerospace documentation practices. Education & Experience: Diploma / B.E. / B.Tech in Mechanical / Aeronautical / Production Engineering, NTTF / GTTC in Tool and Die Making or Machining. Minimum 6–10 years of experience in NC programming, with at least 2–3 years in a lead or assistant manager role. Aerospace tooling/jigs & fixtures domain experience is essential. Preferred Qualifications: Experience working with aerospace OEMs or Tier-1 suppliers. Exposure to Industry 4.0 tools for machining process optimization. Certified in DELCAM, SOLISCAM & CATIA V5 or equivalent CAM software. Lean manufacturing / Six Sigma knowledge is a plus.
