You’ll audit factories, review drawings, catch issues before they become problems, and make sure we can trust every vendor we onboard. This isn’t a desk job.

What You’ll Actually Do: Visit CNC, sheet metal, 3D printing, and injection molding shops around Pune and Maharashtra Evaluate machines, finishes, tolerances, certifications — and call out red flags Analyze 2D drawings and CADs to catch manufacturability issues (you’ll need to really understand GD&T) Use gauges, micrometers, height gauges, and CMMs facilities to thoroughly inspect parts—identifying dimensional issues, finish problems, and any tolerance deviations, not just ticking off specs. Conduct DFM reviews for all major processes (CNC, 3DP, sheet metal, molding) Own the process from quote preparation to part delivery Keep clean records — CRM, shop data, sample pics, inspection results — everything Help us move faster without compromising on quality Who You Need to Be: Degree / Diploma in Mechanical Engineering Minimum 2 years of experience with CNC milling/turning suppliers in India Proficient in GD&T , with hands-on part inspection experience (gauges, micrometers, CMM) You’ve done DFM reviews, prepped quotes, and called out unrealistic tolerances You can read a technical drawing in your sleep Comfortable dealing with vendors, factory managers, and sometimes pushing back Strong documentation skills — no sloppy notes Fluent in English, Hindi (spoken + written) You take ownership, don’t wait to be told what to do, and you follow through Why Join Us: Real responsibility from Day 1 Work directly with the founder Help build a national supplier network that actually delivers No office politics. Just execution. Startup pace, real-world impact, and lots of learning Show more Show less
