About the Role:

hands-on Manufacturing Engineer

What You’ll Actually Do:

• Build an internal quoting system for CNC, 3D printing and Sheet Metal and bring RFQ → quote time under 1–2 hours per RFQ.
• Own the end-to-end flow: RFQ intake, DFM, vendor selection, PO, production tracking, inspection, shipment, and delivery for international and domestic customers.
• Identify, onboard, and audit CNC, Sheet metal, 3D printing shops across US, China, India and Vietnam.
• Frequently visit shop floors in India (primarily Delhi NCR).
• Evaluate machines, processes, finishes, tolerances, QC systems, and certifications; call out red flags with evidence.
• Read 2D drawings and CAD fluently; perform DFM/feasibility checks to reduce risk, cycle time, and cost.
• Perform/oversee dimensional inspection using calipers, micrometers, height gauges; coordinate CMM when required; document NCRs and corrective actions.
• Maintain clean data in our CRM/Airtable: vendor capabilities, price benchmarks, sample photos, inspection results, OTD metrics.

Who You Need to Be:

• 5+ years at CNC milling/turning or sheet-metal suppliers (quoting, DFM, audits, inspection)
• Degree/Diploma in Mechanical Engineering.
• Strong in GD&T; hands-on inspection experience (gauges, micrometers; CMM exposure a plus).
• You’ve done DFM, prepared quotes, and can call out unrealistic tolerances and risky setups.
• Comfortable dealing with vendors, factory managers, and sometimes pushing back
• Tools: SolidWorks/Fusion 360 (view/markup), basic CAM literacy, MS Excel/Google Sheets, Airtable/CRM hygiene.
• Ownership mindset. You see problems early, propose options with data, and close the loop.

How We Work (Non-Negotiables):

• Flexible mindset: if a key U.S. vendor/customer can only talk at 1 a.m. IST, you’re on Zoom—camera on, notes ready—and you still make the morning stand-up.
• Thrives on chaos: ambiguity, foul-ups, impossible timelines—this is where you accelerate, not complain.
• Blunt, clear communicator: call a bad plan bad, in writing or on a call, without drama.
• On-site first: Delhi-NCR based, present in the Noida office 5 days/week.
• Immediate starters prioritized.

Why Join Us:

• Real responsibility from Day 1
• Work directly with the founder
• Help build a global supplier network that actually delivers
• No office politics. Just execution.
• Startup pace, real-world impact, and lots of learning
