Job Description
The CNC Mechanical Engineer (Laser Machines) will be responsible for the programming, setup, operation, and maintenance of CNC Laser cutting systems. You will play a critical role in manufacturing precision components such as alternator laminations, mounting brackets, control panels, and acoustic enclosures.
Responsibilities
Create, modify, and optimize CNC programs for fiber/CO2 laser cutting machines using software such as Cypcut, Fanuc, or Siemens.
Interpret engineering drawings andCAD models (AutoCAD, SolidWorks)to develop efficient cutting paths and nesting layouts to maximize material utilization (sheet nesting) and minimize waste.
Determine optimal cutting parameters (power, speed, focal position, gas pressure) based on material type and thickness (mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum for enclosures; electrical steel for laminations).
Oversee the setup and operation of laser cutting machines to fabricate generator components, ensuring dimensional accuracy and surface finish.
Collaborate with the Generator Assembly team to prioritize jobs based on production schedules and Bill of Materials (BOM) requirements.
Conduct first-article inspections to ensure cut parts conform to specifications before mass production.
Perform routine and preventive maintenance on laser machines, including cleaning optics, calibrating beam alignment, and replacing consumables (nozzles, lenses, protective windows).
Troubleshoot quality issues related to dross formation, edge roughness, or dimensional inaccuracies and implement corrective actions.
Qualifications
Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering or Diploma in Mechanical/Production Engineering.
Minimum of 3+ years of experienceworking withCNC Laser cutting machines(Fiber Laser, CO2 Laser) in a manufacturing environment.
Experience in thepower generation, electrical enclosure, or heavy fabrication industryis highly preferred
CNC Programming: Hands-on experience with industry-standard controls (Cypcut, Fanuc, Siemens 840D). Knowledge of both 2D cutting and bevel cutting is a plus.
Material Knowledge: Understanding of how different materials (CRCA sheets, electrical steel laminations, aluminum) react to laser cutting.
