Job DescriptionTextile Engineer — Non-Woven / UHMWPE Line
NPragati Defence Systems Pvt Ltd · Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh · Full-time, on-site
NAbout us
nPragati Defence is one of India's leading armour systems manufacturers. Body armour, ballistic plates, helmets and shields — for the Indian Army, the Air Force, DRDO, special forces and police organisations, with exports to nine countries.
NWe are one of very few Indian companies that makes its own ballistic material rather than importing it. Our in-house non-woven UHMWPE line is the foundation of that. It is what lets us control performance, cost and supply.
NThe role
nWe're looking for a Textile Engineer who has actually run a non-woven line — hands on the machine, not managing from a desk. You will own the line: its output, its consistency, its improvement.
NBallistic fabric is unforgiving. Areal density, resin content and lamination quality decide whether a plate stops a round or does not. This is a role where precision has consequences.
NWhat you will do

- Hold quality to specification — GSM consistency, peel strength, thickness, defect rate — and drive every deviation to root cause N
- Plan preventive maintenance with the maintenance team and minimise unplanned downtime N
- Improve yield, cut waste, drive down cost per square metre N
- Work with R&D; on new material constructions and trial runs — and take them from trial to secure production N
