- Develop and optimize components specifically for precision machining processes (VMC, CNC turning, grinding, boring, honing)
- Check designs before release to ensure first-time-right manufacturing
- Drive improvements in surface finish, dimensional accuracy, and repeatability Create and validate CAM programs for precision components
- Select appropriate cutting tools, tool paths, feeds & speeds for optimal performance
- Plan and execute efficient setups, clamping, and fixturing strategies
- Improve cycle time, surface finish, and dimensional accuracy
- Work closely with design and QA teams to ensure manufacturability and quality compliance
- Troubleshoot machining issues such as tool wear, chatter, and dimensional variation
- Ensure repeatability and consistency in batch production
- Drive continuous improvement in machining processes and productivity
🧠 Skills & Requirements
- BE / Diploma in Mechanical Engineering
- 2–4 years experience in VMC machining environment
- Strong exposure to 4th axis machining (rotary indexing / continuous)

📈 Why Join Us?
- Work on high-precision defence components
- Exposure to advanced machining (4th axis & complex geometries)
- Opportunity to build real-world, high-performance products
- High ownership, fast learning, and growth
Work Environment
- Defence R&D & manufacturing setup
- Discipline-oriented & process-driven
- Rural plant location (bus facility provided from Hubli city to factory)
