Job Summary:

We are looking for a technically skilled Manufacturing Engineer to manage and optimize laser-based manufacturing processes such as laser cutting, marking, welding, engraving, or drilling. The candidate will be responsible for process development, machine setup, quality assurance, and continuous improvement initiatives related to laser operations.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop, implement, and optimize laser processes (cutting, marking, welding, or drilling) based on product and material requirements.
• Define process parameters (power, frequency, speed, focus, gas type, etc.) to meet part specifications.
• Program and operate laser systems (e.g., fiber laser & CO₂ laser).
• Analyse part designs to ensure laser feasibility and recommend modifications for manufacturability.
• Ensure process stability, repeatability, and quality through validation and control plans.
• Conduct root cause analysis of process defects (e.g., burns, incomplete cuts, poor marking contrast) and implement corrective actions.
• Collaborate with design, quality, and production teams to achieve throughput, yield, and cleanliness targets.
• Maintain SOPs, process documentation, and machine maintenance records.
• Support introduction of new products or components involving laser technology.
• Coordinate with machine and software vendors for installation, training, and support.
• Implement continuous improvement initiatives to reduce cycle time, cost, and scrap.

Qualifications:

• Diploma or bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, Mechatronics, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field.
• 2–5 years of hands-on experience in laser processing in a manufacturing environment.
• Proficiency in laser technologies (fibre, CO₂, or solid-state), laser optics, and beam delivery systems.
• Experience with laser machines from brands such as Trumpf, IPG, Coherent, Han’s Laser, or similar.
• Understanding of materials interaction with laser (metals, plastics).
• Knowledge of CAD/CAM software and CNC programming for laser systems.
• Familiarity with quality inspection methods related to laser processing (microscopy, profilometry, visual inspection).
• Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to work cross-functionally.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience with automation or robotics in laser work cells.
• Basic understanding of laser safety (Class 1–4 laser systems) and implementation of protective measures.
• Knowledge of lean tools (Kaizen, 5S, SPC, FMEA, etc.).
• Exposure to cleanroom or precision manufacturing environments (if applicable).

Job Types: Full-time, Permanent

Benefits:

• Commuter assistance
• Food provided
• Health insurance
• Paid sick time
• Provident Fund
