Role & responsibilities

1. Create, manage, and continuously improve the manufacturing and assembly process flow for Underwater Vehicle components& subsystems. Identify bottlenecks, optimize cycle times, and implement best practices for process efficiency and standardization.

2. Oversee manufacturing activities, provide design/assembly feedback to fabrication vendors, and ensure timely completion. Ensure components meet required mechanical and dimensional accuracy.

3. Resolve manufacturing and design-related issues using engineering tools (GD&T;, tolerance stack-up, FMEA, RCA) to ensure minimal downtime and quality output

4. Select raw materials, consumables, and fasteners based on application, durability, and cost targets. Coordinate with vendors for procurement, negotiate effectively, and maintain material quality,

5. Quantity and on time Delivery as per the internal customer.

6. Prepare technical documentation including test reports, build logs, inspection reports, and process sheets. Collaborate with design, testing, procurement,



and operations teams to meet development objectives.

7. Plan budgets, track manufacturing costs, and support cost optimization in procurement and production decisions.

8. Maintain a reliable pool of alternate vendors for fabrication, machining, and procurement.

9. Perform quality checks for incoming materials, fabricated components, and outsourced assemblies.

10. Lead integration of mechanical subassemblies, seals, housings, pressure vessels, frames, and drive components. Ensure system compatibility and perform assembly-level validation for watertightness, tolerances, and mechanical fit.

11. Use machineries, hand tools, power tools, and measurement instruments safely and effectively. Enforce safety protocols and maintain a clean, compliant workshop setting.

12. Mentor junior QA engineers and technicians. Train both the team and the broader organisation members
