Role & responsibilities Inspect and test: Conduct regular inspections and tests on raw materials, in-process components, and finished products to identify defects early. Monitor performance: Use statistical process control (SPC) and data analysis to monitor and analyze quality performance throughout the production cycle. Interpret data: Analyze quality data to identify trends, pinpoint areas for improvement, and create detailed reports for management. Problem solving and improvement Conduct root cause analysis: Investigate product or production issues to determine the root cause using tools like Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and the 5 Whys technique. Develop corrective and preventive actions (CAPA): Recommend and implement solutions to prevent the recurrence of identified issues. Drive continuous improvement: Lead and contribute to process improvement efforts, often utilizing methodologies like Six Sigma and Lean manufacturing to reduce waste and boost efficiency. Cross-functional collaboration Work with design and production: Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including design, manufacturing, and R&D, to embed quality benchmarks into the product development process from the very beginning. Manage suppliers: Engage with suppliers to verify that raw materials and components meet the company's quality standards. Preferred candidate profile Formal education: A bachelor's/Diploma degree in a relevant engineering discipline (e.g., Mechanical, Industrial, and Electrical) is typically required. Analytical skills: The ability to analyse data, interpret trends, and solve complex problems systematically is essential. Technical expertise: Strong knowledge of quality assurance methodologies, quality tools (SPC, FMEA), and industry-specific processes is necessary. Communication skills: Excellent verbal and written communication skills are vital for collaborating with teams, presenting reports, and interacting with stakeholders. Attention to detail: A meticulous and detail-oriented approach is critical for ensuring compliance and identifying flaws. Computer proficiency: Familiarity with relevant software, including quality management systems (QMS), statistical analysis software, and database management.

Collaborate with the Engineering and Quality teams to resolve technical challenges and ensure manufacturability of new products. 4. Quality, Compliance & Safety: Instill a culture of "Zero Defects" and total quality management. Ensure full compliance with all relevant national and international standards (e.g., NADCAP, AS9100, ISO). Serve as the manufacturing lead for customer and regulatory audits. Champion the highest standards of workplace safety, ensuring a zero-accident environment through proactive risk assessment and mitigation. 5. Team Management & Development: Lead, mentor, and develop a high-performing team of production managers, engineers, supervisors, and shop-floor personnel. Foster a culture of accountability, innovation, and continuous learning. Manage staffing, training, performance reviews, and skill development to build a world-class manufacturing team. 6. Budget & Cost Management: Prepare and manage the annual manufacturing budget. Drive cost-reduction initiatives without compromising on quality or safety, focusing on optimizing material usage, reducing scrap, and improving operational efficiency. 7. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with the Engineering (R&D & Design), Quality Assurance, Supply Chain, and Projects departments to ensure seamless integration and execution. Act as a key stakeholder in New Product Introduction (NPI) processes, providing manufacturing input to ensure design for manufacturability and scalability. Preferred candidate profile Education: Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) in Mechanical, Production, Industrial Engineering, or a related field. Experience: 15 to 20 years of progressive experience in a manufacturing environment, with a significant portion spent in high-precision machining, fabrication, or assembly . Industry Background: Experience in Aerospace, Defense, Automotive, or Nuclear manufacturing is highly desirable. What We Offer A competitive compensation and benefits package. An opportunity to lead and shape the manufacturing function of a respected, high-growth company.
