Job Title: CNC Mechanical Engineer (Laser Machines)

Location: Lagos
Employment Type: Full-time

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).
