AVP Manufacturing Engineering

Job Summary:

We are seeking a proactive Manufacturing Engineer to develop and optimize machining processes that align with organizational goals and quality standards. The role involves selecting appropriate cutting tools, defining machining strategies, generating process documents using CAD tools (CATIA/AutoCAD), and interpreting GD&T from various design sources. The candidate will collaborate cross-functionally with tooling, production, SCM, and quality teams, support vendor development, and mentor management trainees. A strong understanding of machining centers and QMS documentation is essential for success in this role

Responsibilities:

Lead, develop and grow a diversely skilled engineering

team with process focused verticals

• Lead the process development of precision engineering

parts involving CNC machining, stamping / press

operations, finishing operations (like blasting, polishing,

tumbling etc) and small component assembly

• Drive a team of fixture designers, CAM programmers,

cutting tool developers, process qualification engineers &

assembly line engineers for a very large scale operation

• Drive standardization of engineering processes, analytical

problem solving, failure analysis and corrective actions

• Collaborate with operations, quality and other process and

design teams to integrate learnings across the line into a

scalable product

• Lead cycle time optimisation initiatives and continuous

improvement of cutting path / tool selection / MCM

programming and achieve the targeted capacities and

product cost

• Lead the development of cleaning and surface finishing

processes (including but not limited to processes like

ultrasonic cleaning, sand blasting, surface treatment etc)

• Champion the strong use of statistical tools (like JMP and

Minitab) to analyse process data & lead systematic DMAIC

approach for process improvement

• Work closely with sub-tier Designs for Manufacturing

(DFMs) impacting process design and development -

fixtures, cutting tools, stamping tools, jigs, injection

moulds, inserts etc

• Routinely interact with customer to present process

findings, data and analysis; recommend process

improvements and ideas for improving yields and process

consistency

• Get involved in cross functional discussions to review and

approve procurement of machines and equipment

(including capital ROI analysis) as and when new processes

or products are added.
