- B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical, Production, Chemical, Materials/Metallurgy or a related discipline
PREFERRED

- Working CBN/diamond wheel prototypes for identified applications
- Repeatable pilot and production manufacturing, with documented processes, SOPs and quality parameters
- Customer trials that lead to approvals, repeat orders or commercialisation
- A strong in-house team that can manufacture, troubleshoot and keep developing superabrasive wheels
