Responsibilities
- Own box-build and final assembly process architecture, including station sequencing, line balancing, semi-automation concepts, and poka-yoke implementation.
- Review RFQs, drawings, BOMs, specifications, and customer requirements to develop compliant and executable assembly solutions.
- Develop manufacturing estimates covering cycle times, manpower loading, equipment, tooling, fixtures, NRE, capex, and implementation timelines.
- Define assembly process assumptions, risks, dependencies, exclusions, and mitigation plans to support bid submissions.
- Establish torque control, press-fit processes, assembly validation requirements, and critical process acceptance criteria.
- Design ESD-compliant assembly areas and manufacturing workflows aligned with ANSI/ESD S20.20 requirements.
- Evaluate equipment, tooling, and fixture solutions, including supplier assessments and make-versus-buy recommendations.
- Drive cross-functional alignment across engineering, quality, operations, automation, supply chain, and finance to ensure execution readiness.




- Prepare technical calculations, process capacity analyses, and supporting evidence for proposal reviews and management approvals.
- Define process validation, handover deliverables, and manufacturing readiness requirements for NPI and production launch.

Qualifications
- B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, ECE, Mechatronics, Industrial, Production Engineering, or a related discipline.
- Postgraduate specialization in Manufacturing, Industrial Engineering, Operations, or a related field preferred.
- Robust knowledge of box-build and final assembly manufacturing processes, line balancing, workstation design, and assembly industrialization.
- Expertise in DFM, PFMEA, Control Plans, process capability analysis, and manufacturing quality planning.
- Proficiency in process simulation or line-balancing tools, advanced Excel modelling, and assembly equipment programming tools.
- Working knowledge of ESD
