ABOUT THIS ROLE
We are an AI company building tools for industrial manufacturing plants — specifically for monitoring production operations and managing quality compliance. Our AI tracks OEE, flags quality deviations, generates non-conformance reports, and monitors CAPA closure. We need people who have personally managed a production line or run quality audits in a real factory setting — automotive, aerospace, FMCG, pharma manufacturing, or electronics — and can tell us from shop floor experience what the AI should be flagging and what it is getting wrong.
WORKFLOWS COVERED
- Production monitoring — OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), downtime tracking, line balancing, production scheduling
- Quality management system (QMS) audits — ISO 9001, IATF 16949 (automotive), AS9100 (aerospace), or GMP (pharma manufacturing) depending on your industry
- Non-conformance management — NC reporting, root cause analysis (RCA), corrective and preventive action (CAPA)
- Statistical process control (SPC) — control charts, Cpk analysis, process capability studies
- Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) and equipment reliability management
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Share how manufacturing operations and quality compliance work in practice in a real plant environment — the production monitoring, audit processes, CAPA workflows, and day-to-day quality decisions
- Review process documentation, OEE frameworks, non-conformance reports, or audit checklists and tell us where they diverge from how these things work on the shop floor
- Help us understand quality management in context — what ISO, IATF, or GMP compliance actually requires in practice versus what the standard says on paper
- Advise on what good manufacturing operations and quality management looks like based on your direct experience in a factory or plant setting
YOU ARE THE RIGHT FIT IF
- Minimum 4 years in manufacturing operations or quality compliance — physically in a factory or plant, not just corporate quality
- Have personally managed a production line, led ISO or IATF audits, or owned a QMS implementation — not just been audited
- Know Lean, Six Sigma, FMEA, SPC, and 5S from applying them on the shop floor, not just certification training
- Worked in automotive (Tier 1/2 supplier), aerospace, FMCG (Unilever, ITC, HUL), pharma manufacturing, or electronics (contract manufacturing)
NICE TO HAVE
- Six Sigma Green Belt or Black Belt — ASQ or equivalent
- ISO 9001 / IATF 16949 Lead Auditor certification
- CQE (Certified Quality Engineer) — ASQ
