Senior Quality Engineer – Farm & Industrial Machinery

Company: Sickle Innovations Pvt.Ltd

At Sickle Innovations, we build practical, scalable farm machinery that solves real problems in Indian agriculture. Our focus is simple: reduce labor dependency, improve efficiency, and make mechanization accessible.

We're looking for a Senior Quality Engineer who can build and own the entire quality function—from incoming inspection to field performance.

What You'll Do

Own end-to-end quality systems across product lifecycle

Set up and manage incoming, in-process, and final inspection systems

Develop quality standards, SOPs, and checklists for production

Work closely with design and production teams to ensure DFM & DFA compliance

Lead root cause analysis (RCA) and implement corrective/preventive actions

Drive vendor quality management and audits

Monitor and improve field failure rates and product reliability

Build and lead a small quality team (inspectors, QA engineers)

What Actually Matters

Proven experience in quality engineering for machinery/products (not just documentation)

Strong understanding of fabrication, machining, assemblies, and tolerances

Experience handling vendor quality and shop-floor quality issues

Ability to solve real problems fast, not escalate endlessly

Comfortable working in a hands-on, fast-moving environment

Ability to balance quality vs cost vs speed (this is critical)

Good to Have

Experience in Agri machinery / food processing equipment

Familiarity with ISO systems, QC tools (7QC, FMEA, SPC)

Exposure to sheet metal, welding, plastics, and assemblies

Experience with field failure analysis and reliability improvement

Why This Role

Direct ownership of quality of machines used by farmers

Opportunity to build the quality function from ground up

Work on real-world engineering problems, not just audits and reports

High visibility role with direct impact on product success
