WE ARE HIRING: Head of Engineering (R&D;, Purchase, QC & Dispatch)

Location: Ahmedabad, Gujarat

Industry: Advanced Manufacturing / CNC & Laser Machinery

About the Role

We are a rapidly scaling manufacturer of advanced CNC and Laser machinery, aggressively expanding our footprint in the capital goods sector. We are transitioning our product lines toward high-value, high-complexity platforms and are looking for a hard-nosed, technically exceptional Head of Engineering to act as the ultimate gatekeeper for our entire production lifecycle.

In this role, you will hold complete end-to-end operational authority—from designing the next generation of 5-axis machines to ensuring they are flawlessly packed and shipped to global ports.

Key Responsibilities

R&D; & Product Upgradation: Lead our New Product Introduction (NPI) sequence, shifting focus toward high-complexity platforms such as 5-axis CNCs and high-kilowatt Fiber Laser Cutting machines. Drive aggressive backward integration by engineering in-house sheet metal enclosures, electrical control panels, and indigenous CNC controllers to expand our scale.

Strategic Procurement & Supply Chain: Bypass spot markets by negotiating direct, long-term contracts with global Tier-1 OEMs for critical components. Simultaneously, manage a highly productive localized Just-In-Time (JIT) vendor network across for secondary engineering components.





Quality Control (QC) Gatekeeping: Enforce strict, non-negotiable QA protocols. Ensure every machine passes rigorous dimensional accuracy checks, laser calibration, and multi-axis ball-bar testing on our floor before dispatch approval.

The Ideal Candidate

Education: B.E. or B.Tech in Mechanical, Mechatronics, or Robotics Engineering.

Experience: 5+ years in the machine tool, heavy fabrication, or capital equipment manufacturing industry, with at least 3 years in a multi-department leadership role.

Skillset: Deep understanding of multi-level BOMs (Bill of Materials), ERP systems, lean manufacturing, and CNC/Laser mechanics.

Mindset: You are an aggressive vendor negotiator, an R&D; visionary, and a ruthless enforcer of quality standards on the factory floor.

Why Join Us?

You will not just be managing a department; you will be building the manufacturing engine of a rapidly scaling company. We offer highly competitive compensation, aggressive performance bonuses linked to first-pass yield and margin expansion, and the autonomy to build your dream engineering team.
