Job Description

? 1. Qualification

Education

: Diploma or ITI in Mechanical/Production Engineering; OR B.E./B.Tech (Mechanical) preferred.

Experience

: 2-5 years in CNC nesting and bending programming using software like Lantek, SigmaNEST, or equivalent.

Skills

: Knowledge of CNC press brake operation Understanding of sheet metal behavior, bend allowance, and tool selection Proficiency in reading engineering drawings

? 2. Roles

Create and optimize CNC programs for laser cutting and press brake machines. Ensure material utilization is maximized (nesting efficiency). Reduce programming errors that affect bending precision or material scrap. Provide accurate flat patterns and bending instructions to production.

? 3. Responsibilities

Interpret 2D/3D drawings and convert them into CAM programs for sheet metal cutting and bending. Manage nesting layouts to minimize wastage of raw material. Select proper tooling and sequence for press brake operations. Coordinate with production and maintenance for smooth machine running. Update part libraries and version control for repeated jobs.

? 4. Activities

Daily program generation for new and repeat parts. Nesting layout preparation for upcoming production batches. Back-and-forth coordination with design and production teams. Modify programs based on feedback or change requests. Maintain a programming log and nesting efficiency tracker.

? 5. Facilities Required

Desktop computer with high-performance processor and CAD/CAM software installed. Licensed CAM software (e.g., SigmaNEST, Lantek, Metamation). Access to printer/scanner for printouts and documentation. Safety gear for shopfloor visits (shoes, helmet, glasses). ERP login with BOM and drawing access. Intra-factory transport allowance if location is far from office floor.

? 6. Authorities

Authority to finalize nesting patterns for cutting and bending. Can reject poorly made drawings or request drawing clarifications from the Design team. Can suggest design changes for manufacturability. Access to CNC programming servers and machine data via ERP.

? 7. Key Performance Areas (KPAs)

Nesting yield (% material utilization). Number of programming errors per 100 parts. Downtime reduction due to optimized bending sequences. On-time program delivery for production. Collaboration score with production and design teams.

? 8. Career Growth Plan
