CNC Lathe Programmer

Position: CNC Lathe Programmer / Setter

Company: Masters Preci Tools Private Limited – Aerospace Division

Location: Jeedimetla, Hyderabad

Employment: Full-time

Experience: Preferably 5+ years in precision CNC turning

Role Overview

We are hiring a CNC Lathe Programmer who can independently program, set up and prove out precision turned components from engineering drawings. The candidate must have demonstrated experience consistently achieving 10-micron (0.010 mm) dimensional tolerances, as specified on the drawing.

Key Responsibilities

●     Interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, dimensional tolerances, fits and surface finish requirements.

●     Independently develop and edit CNC lathe programs using G-code/M-code; use CAM software where required.

●     Select suitable cutting tools, inserts, tool holders, workholding arrangements and machining sequences.

●     Set up machines, establish tool and work offsets, conduct trial runs and obtain first-piece inspection approval.

●     Machine precision outside and inside diameters, bores, grooves, threads, tapers and mating features.

●     Consistently maintain drawing requirements, including 10-micron dimensional tolerances, roundness, concentricity and runout where specified.

●     Control dimensional variation through appropriate cutting parameters, tool wear compensation, machine warm-up and in-process inspection.

●     Inspect components using micrometers, bore gauges, dial indicators and other suitable calibrated instruments.

●     Troubleshoot dimensional deviations, chatter, poor surface finish, tool wear and workholding distortion.

●     Improve cycle times and tool life while maintaining component quality.

●     Maintain approved programs, setup sheets, tooling details and inspection records with proper revision control.

●     Coordinate with production and quality teams to resolve machining issues and prevent repeat defects.

Required Qualifications and Skills

●     ITI, Diploma in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent practical experience.

●     Proven experience in CNC lathe programming, setting and precision component machining.

●     Hands-on experience producing and measuring components with tolerances of 0.010 mm or tighter is mandatory.

●     Strong understanding of engineering drawings, GD&T, limits and fits.

●     Ability to independently take a component from drawing review to an approved first piece and repeat production.

●     Knowledge of cutting parameters and tooling for alloy steels, stainless steel and aluminium.

●     Experience with Fanuc or equivalent CNC controls; candidates should specify the controls and machine models handled.

●     Good understanding of safe machining practices, component traceability and inspection discipline.

Preferred Experience

●     Aerospace tooling, precision engineering or other close-tolerance manufacturing.

●     Machining thin-walled parts, deep bores, hardened materials or components requiring multiple setups.

●     Experience with titanium, Inconel, live tooling or CNC turning centres with additional axes.

●     Familiarity with AS9100D manufacturing documentation and quality practices.
