Key Account Manager - Aerospace Bangalore / Hyderabad preferred Reports to the Founder Full-time

Frigate Engineering Services builds and sources precision mechanical parts for aerospace and allied high-reliability industries. We are setting up an AS9100 facility for machined aluminium and titanium parts, chassis, enclosures and cold plates, and we already export build-to-print parts to a US Tier-2. We are looking for someone to own our key accounts.

What you ll own the accounts and the part families A portfolio of named accounts: OEMs, Tier-1s and system houses across airframe, engine, avionics and electronic systems

Part families including machined housings and structural details, chassis and enclosures, sheet metal assemblies, cold plates, and tooling, jigs and ground support equipment

Support to our export accounts on documentation: first article inspection packs, material certificates and traceability

What the job actually is day to day

Get Frigate onto the approved vendor list at each account, and run the audits and paperwork that go with it

Work the qualification ladder deliberately: tooling and fixtures, then non-critical parts, then flight-critical work.



You ll know that a fixture PO in month 3 is what makes a critical-part RFQ possible in month 18

Bring in RFQs and quote them with our costing engineer

Sit with customer design and quality teams from the drawing stage, not just with purchase

Own delivery, quality escalation and payment follow-through for your accounts

What we re looking for the person, not the job title

Mechanical or production engineering degree, 6-12 years in aerospace or high-reliability manufacturing

You ve been on one side or the other of supplier approval - as a buyer, a supplier quality engineer, a programme manager, or the person at a hop who got approved. You know what a registration pack, an audit and a first article report involve

You can read a drawing, discuss GDT, tolerances and surface finishes, and tell a good machining vendor from a bad one

You re comfortable owning a number, not just a relationship

Based in Bangalore or Hyderabad preferred, and willing to travel 12-15 days a month

Bonus nice to have

Exposure to special processes: anodising, chemical conversion coating, NDT, heat treatment and NADCAP

Experience setting up a current supplier s approvals from scratch

What you get

Competitive fixed pay plus a variable tied to vendor registrations and account gross margin

You report to the founder and you re building a business unit, not managing one
