We are seeking a highly disciplined, technically astute **Production Manager** to oversee daily shop\-floor operations at our Ahmedabad manufacturing facility. In this role, you will be entirely responsible for delivering high\-performance thermal management products, including **liquid cold plates, heatsinks, copper busbars, and air\-cooled heatsinks**.
Your primary focus will be optimizing production throughput, enforcing zero\-defect quality standards, reducing material wastage, and leading a skilled team of operators and technicians.
- **Shop Floor Execution:** Plan, schedule, and execute daily production shifts to meet delivery timelines,
- **Timely delivery:** You will be responsible for meeting our monthly product delivery timelines.
- **Process Oversight:** Oversee precision manufacturing processes specific to thermal solutions, including:
- **CNC Machining \& Milling** of aluminum and copper plates.
- **Tubing \& Bending** (embedding copper/stainless steel tubes into aluminum bases).
- **Joining \& Bonding Technologies** (vacuum brazing, friction stir welding, or epoxy bonding for bonded fin heatsinks).
- **Surface Finishing** (anodizing, nickel plating, or chromate conversion).
- **Quality Assurance \& Testing:** Implement and enforce rigorous testing protocols. Because our products handle liquid cooling for power electronics, you will personally ensure 100% compliance with **pressure testing, helium leak detection, and thermal performance validation**.
- **Wastage \& Cost Control:** Track raw material yields (especially high\-value copper and aluminum). Implement lean manufacturing practices to systematically lower per\-unit manufacturing costs and scrap rates.
- **Machinery Maintenance:** Establish and monitor strict preventive maintenance schedules for VMC machines, lathe machines, bending tools, and testing rigs to ensure zero unplanned downtime.
- **Labor \& Safety Management:** Supervise, train, and maintain discipline among operators and contractual laborers. Ensure strict adherence to factory safety protocols and industrial standards.
- *Relevant Experience \& Technical Requirements**
- **Education:** B.E. / B.Tech or Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, Production Engineering, or Metallurgical Engineering.
- **Experience:** 10 to 15 years of hands\-on shop\-floor experience in a **precision metal fabrication, fabrication of heat exchangers, radiators, auto\-components, or thermal management systems facility**.
- **Specific Process Expertise (Mandatory):**
- Deep understanding of **machining tolerances** for aluminum and copper.
- Direct exposure to **brazing, welding, or tube\-assembly** methodologies.
- Familiarity with pneumatic or hydraulic pressure testing setups.
- **Scale Familiarity:** Proven track record of working in an MSME or mid\-sized industrial setup, ideally managing operations with an annual turnover of ₹5–15 Crores.
- **Language \& Leadership:** Fluent in Gujarati and Hindi to communicate effectively with the local workforce, with professional English skills for updating management and reading engineering blueprints.
- *Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for the Role**
Your performance and annual variable bonuses will be directly linked to:
- **Production Target Achievement (OTD):** Meeting weekly and monthly shipment commitments.
- **Defect Rate / Rejection Percentage:** Keeping internal production rejections and customer returns under 1%.
- **Material Yield Optimization:** Reducing copper/aluminum scrap and machining waste.
