The Milling Machinist is responsible for setting up and operating CNC and conventional milling machines to manufacture precision components according to engineering drawings, GD&T, and quality standards. The role includes selecting appropriate tools, defining machining parameters, proving out programs, and performing in-process inspections to ensure accuracy and compliance. The machinist plays a key role in maintaining productivity, optimizing machining processes, reducing cycle times, and ensuring first-time-right quality while following safety and housekeeping standards.
Key Responsibilities
Ø Adherence to level Machining Planning – Study route cards, blueprints, engineering drawings, and material specifications; interpret GD&T to define precise machining requirements for milling operations.
Ø CNC Programming (Milling) – Create, read, and edit NC programs for 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis milling machines; set reference points, tool registers, offsets, and compensations; validate and prove out part programs.
Ø Machine Setup – Set up milling machines by installing and aligning tools, cutters, fixtures, and vises; adjust collets, bushings, and attachments to achieve correct setup and rigidity.
Ø Operational Verification – Inspect first-run and sample workpieces using measuring instruments; ensure accuracy of dimensions, surface finish, and tolerances before running full batches.
Ø Cutting Parameters – Select and apply optimal cutting speeds, feeds, and depths of cut; monitor tool wear, replace inserts/cutters, and ensure consistent machining quality.
Ø Equipment Maintenance – Carry out routine cleaning, lubrication, and preventive maintenance of milling machines; troubleshoot and coordinate repairs when required.
Ø Shift Handover & Documentation – Record production data, inspection results, and machine performance; hand over accurate updates to incoming shifts to maintain workflow continuity.
Ø Continuous Improvement – Support cycle-time reduction, process optimization, and cost-per-component (CPC) improvement through feedback and new methods.
Ø Safety & Compliance – Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs), maintain workplace safety, and ensure compliance with quality management standards.
Ø Instruments: Handling and setting of precision instruments and gauges ( Bore gauge, Height master, Groove caliper, ETC.)
Ø Preparedness for setups: Need to ensure all parameters like Drawings, Tools, Gauges, and Raw Material availability are ready 2 hours before the setting.
Ø Goal Achievement
Ø Take ownership of responsibilities to meet organizational objectives.
Ø Proactively handle new requests and identify opportunities to add value.
Key credentials
Behavioural Attributes:
Ø Demonstrates strong respect for people, work, and societal responsibilities.
