Job Description:

• Develop, validate, and optimize complex machining processes for CNC milling, turning, grinding, and multi-axis machining.
• Read, interpret, and analyze cross-process technical and engineering drawings.
• Create and review manufacturing process flows to support production and quality requirements.
• Lead machining process development for New Product Introduction (NPI) projects.
• Troubleshoot and resolve high-impact machining issues, including tolerance drift, tool wear or failure, chatter, and surface finish defects.
• Design, review, or specify advanced jigs and fixture concepts to improve machining accuracy and repeatability.
• Evaluate and select cutting tools, tool geometries, coatings, and tool-holding solutions based on material type tolerance requirements, and machining strategy.
• Define and optimize machining parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, step-over, coolant strategy, and toolpath methods to achieve stable and efficient processes.
• Implement process improvements through parameter adjustments and tooling upgrades to enhance yield, reduce variation, and improve overall machining quality.
• Validate process changes through capability studies, first-article inspection (FAI) results, and production trial runs.
• Performing any other ad hoc duties as assigned.

Job Requirement:

• Degree or Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, Precision Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Minimum 5–8 years of hands-on experience in CNC machining process engineering within semiconductor, precision engineering or related industries.
• Strong experience in CNC milling, turning, grinding, and multi-axis machining.
• Proven ability to read and interpret complex engineering drawings, including GD&T and cross-process requirements.
• Solid knowledge of machining parameters, cutting tools, tool materials, coatings, and tool-holding systems.
• Hands-on experience in process optimization, capability studies (Cp/Cpk), FAI, and production trials.
• Experience in NPI machining process development and production ramp-up support.
• Ability to design or specify jigs and fixtures concepts to improve accuracy, repeatability, and productivity.
• Familiar with CAD/CAM software such as SolidWorks, NX, or equivalent.
• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to resolve complex machining issues independently.
• Good communication skills and ability to work effectively with Production, Quality, and Engineering teams.
• Willingness to support shopfloor activities and customer or audit requirements when needed.
• Willing to work on-site at Changi North Crescent.
