Job Description

Site Overview

Our Multi-modal Manufacturing Facility (MMF) in Pune plays a crucial role in manufacturing key aerospace components, supporting not only India’s defense and commercial sectors but also global aviation supply chains. Our relationships with Indian suppliers, combined with our world-class local facilities and global reach, continue to shape India’s aerospace ecosystem.

Roles & Responsibilities

• Strong understanding of machining processes and fixture design, including ability to suggest improvements for manufacturability
• Hands-on experience to independently operate and set up GROB / DMG / MAZAK machines (TMC / VMC / HMC / 5-Axis)
• Proficient in operating Siemens / Mazatrol / Fanuc controllers, including making minor on-machine edits within defined limits
• Ability to work on NPI (New Product Introduction) parts, including:
• Understanding new part/process requirements
• Supporting first article runs
• Providing feedback to Manufacturing / ME / Programming teams
• Strong ability to interpret complex part drawings and GD&T requirements, including critical characteristics and key inspection points
• Ability to perform all work as per SOPs, work instructions, and industry standard practices, and provide feedback to improve them
• In-depth knowledge of cutting tools, parameter selection, and troubleshooting for different materials and operations
• Ability to set tools and fixtures on the machine independently as per NC program, setup sheet, and process plan
• Ability to take full setups of parts on own, including zero setting, work coordinate setting, trial cuts, and first-piece approval support
• Ability to conduct regular tool trials and process trials to optimize cycle time, tool life, surface finish, and overall process stability
• Good machinist skills, including measurement techniques, use of hand tools and gauges, understanding of tolerances, and shop math
• Ability to read and interpret CMM reports / inspection reports and use them for problem solving (e.g., identifying offset errors, tool wear, deflection, fixture issues)
• Demonstrated problem solving and critical thinking skills to address machining, dimensional, and quality issues using data-driven approach
• Knowledge of QC tools (e.g., 5 Why, Fishbone, Pareto) and ability to drive Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and corrective actions for machining and quality issues
• Knowledge and proper use of process-specific PPE and adherence to all safety and EHS requirements, with the ability to role-model safe behaviors and stop unsafe work
  

Ideal Candidate

A senior CNC machinist (6–8 years) with deep hands-on expertise on GROB/DMG/MAZAK (TMC/VMC/HMC/5-axis) and Siemens/Mazatrol/Fanuc controls, able to independently take full setups, support NPI proveouts, interpret complex drawings and GD&T, and optimize tools, fixtures, and parameters for safety, quality, and productivity.

Required Qualification/Requirements

• Diploma in Mechanical Engineering with minimum 6–8 years of experience in CNC machining
