We are looking for a Factory Programmer / 2D Designer who converts approved interior designs into production-ready technical drawings and machine-friendly data . This role sits between design and manufacturing and is responsible for ensuring zero confusion, zero rework, and clean factory execution . Key Responsibilities 1. Bill of Materials (BOM) Create accurate Bill of Materials for kitchens, wardrobes, and modular furniture Include: Boards (type, thickness, finish) Hardware (hinges, channels, fittings) Edge banding details Accessories and special items Ensure BOM matches final drawings 100% Coordinate with purchase and factory teams to avoid shortages or excess 2. Cutting Plan & Optimisation Prepare cutting layouts for boards to minimize wastage Optimize sheet usage based on material size and grain direction Align cutting plans with CNC / panel saw requirements Revise plans quickly if design or material changes occur 3. AutoCAD & 2D Production Drawings · Prepare detailed AutoCAD drawings for factory use: Panel sizes, Joinery details, Clearances and tolerances · Convert design concepts into production-ready 2D drawings · Ensure drawings are easy to read for shop-floor execution 4. Drilling & CNC Drawings Create drilling drawings for: Hinges, Channels, Connectors, Shelves and fittings Define: Hole positions, Depths, Spacing Ensure compatibility with CNC machines and manual drilling processes 5. Coordination & Quality Control · Coordinate with: Designers, Factory supervisors, NC operators · Resolve drawing or execution doubts before production starts · Support factory team during manufacturing for any technical clarifications · Maintain drawing revisions and version control Required Skills & Tools · Strong command over AutoCAD (2D mandatory) · Experience creating: BOMs, Cutting plans, Drilling drawings · Clear understanding of: Modular furniture construction, Hardware systems (Blum / Hettich / equivalent),Board materials and finishes, Ability to think from factory execution perspective , not just design Preferred Background · Experience in modular furniture · Prior exposure to CNC-based manufacturing · Worked closely with production or shop-floor teams What We Value · Precision over speed · Clarity over assumptions · Ownership of output (no “design said this” excuses) · Ability to reduce factory errors and rework
Role Objective: Ensure all factory-made components meet Living Timeless quality standards before packaging, so that site installation is smooth, clean, and rework-free. This role owns quality till “Ready for Packaging” sign-off. Key responsibilities (Phase wise) Phase 1 – Pre-Production QA (Partial Intervention) Validate final approved drawings before cutting Cross-check dimensions, materials, finishes, and hardware specs Confirm client approval is documented Flag design clashes or impractical tolerances Provide “OK to Cut” approval Phase 2 – Cutting & Component QA Inspect cut panels for size accuracy, squareness, and edge band quality Verify carcass components (sides, shelves, backs, bottoms) Check grain direction and panel straightness Reject or send defective parts for rework Phase 3 – Shutter & Finish QA Inspect shutters individually (PU / laminate / acrylic / veneer) Ensure shade consistency, flatness, and clean edge finish Zero tolerance for scratches, bubbles, waves, chips Perform light-angle and wipe tests Ensure visual consistency for the same kitchen set Phase 4 – Hardware Fitment QA (Component Level) Verify correct hardware installation (hinges, channels, lift-ups) Test movement, soft-close, and drawer glide Conduct basic load testing Ensure correct drilling and no stripped screws Approve components as Ready for Packaging Explicit Exclusions: This role does NOT handle: Dry assembly or mock fitting Packaging or dispatch Logistics or site installation Performance Metrics Reduction in site rework due to factory defects First-time-right component rate Finish-related complaint reduction QA checklist accuracy & completeness Ideal Candidate 3–6 years experience in modular furniture / kitchen manufacturing Strong knowledge of boards, finishes, edge banding, and hardware Detail-obsessed, quality-first mindset Comfortable rejecting sub-standard work
