The Manufacturing Engineer Injection Moulding is responsible for identifying and implementing improvements to existing injection moulding processes at the Hadpasar plant. The role ensures optimal product quality, minimal rejection, and maximum process efficiency through systematic process parameter optimisation, machine capability evaluation, and automation initiatives. The incumbent is accountable for maintaining critical manufacturing documentation (OMS/WI, PFMEA, Control Plans) in compliance with IATF 16949 requirements, and collaborates with Production, Quality, Tooling, and Maintenance teams to deliver consistent output meeting customer specifications. The position also supports Current Product Development (NPD) mould trials and process qualification activities.

1. Process Improvement & Engineering: Identifies scope of improvement against existing injection moulding manufacturing processes; proposes solutions, seeks approvals, plans and executes improvement projects to enhance throughput, reduce cycle times, and eliminate waste.



Effectiveness is measured by reduction in process defects, cycle time improvements, and productivity metrics.

2. Injection Moulding Process Parameter Optimisation: Develops, monitors, and improves process parameters (injection pressure, melt temperature, cooling time, holding pressure, etc.) for all injection moulding machines to achieve consistent part quality with minimum variation. Effectiveness is measured by Cpk values, first-shot quality, and scrap reduction rates.

3. Machine Criticality & Capability Evaluation: Evaluates machines on a 2x2 Criticality-Capability matrix at defined intervals; initiates preventive/corrective actions to maintain uptime and process capability. Effectiveness is measured by OEE scores and unplanned downtime reduction.

4. Quality Improvement & Rejection Reduction: Supports production to minimize rejection rates through new techniques or improvements to existing processes, ensuring optimum use of raw mater
