We're looking for a Head of Quality to own end-to-end quality for Exprtex, Shingora's technical textiles division, which produces FR (flame-resistant), molten metal protection, electrical protection, industrial safety, and parachute/inflatable nylon fabrics for global defence, aerospace, and industrial safety customers.This role has one non-negotiable focus: colour-lot consistency in aramid yarn and fabric dyeing. Aramid dyeing is one of the hardest problems in technical textiles — high-temperature, chemistry-sensitive, and extremely intolerant of shade drift. Success in this role means not just detecting a failed lot, but tracing why it failed — back through dyeing parameters, weaving, or upstream yarn variation — and fixing the root cause, not just the symptom.This role reports to the Head of Business and sits within our Exprtex leadership team as we scale technical textiles into a ₹500 Cr business over the next 3 years.ResponsibilitiesOwn colour-lot consistency and shade continuity across yarn dyeing and fabric dyeing, using spectrophotometer data, Delta E, metamerism analysis, and lab-to-bulk correlationLead root-cause analysis and corrective action for shade deviation, weaving defects, and other process-linked quality failuresBuild and manage quality systems and compliance documentation for technical textile certifications (ISO 11612, EN 469, NFPA 2112,
