About the Role: We are looking for hands-on electronics manufacturing professional to lead appliance production operations at the cluster/plant level. This role is the execution engine of owning shop floor performance, electronics assembly quality, team productivity, and operational metrics day to day. KRA 1. Shop Floor & Production Management • Manage end-to-end production of appliances across assigned cluster — PCB assembly, SMT lines, power board testing, coil assembly, and final box-build • Achieve daily, weekly, and monthly production output targets with high OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) • Drive shift planning, manpower allocation, and throughput efficiency across assembly lines • Lead Lean / Kaizen initiatives to reduce cycle time, rework, and material wastage 2. Electronics Assembly & Process Ownership • Own SMT (Surface Mount Technology) and through-hole soldering processes for control boards and power PCBs • Ensure correct setup and calibration of SMT machines, reflow ovens, wave soldering, and ICT fixtures • Monitor IGBT assembly, coil gap tolerances, and power board functional performance • Implement and enforce ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) controls and IPC class standards across the line 3. Quality, Testing & Compliance • Drive first-pass yield (FPY) targets and reduce field return / defect rates on appliances products. • Manage in-circuit testing (ICT), functional testing (power, temperature control, safety cutoff), and end-of-line quality checks • Ensure all products comply with BIS IS 302-2-6 standards before dispatch • Lead root cause analysis (8D / 5-Why) for production defects and implement corrective actions 4. Component & Material Management • Coordinate with procurement for component availability — IGBTs, capacitors, micro controllers, coils, glass tops • Manage material flow on the shop floor — kitting, WIP control, and inventory accuracy • Track and flag component quality issues; coordinate with incoming QC and vendors for resolution 5. Team Leadership • Lead a team of 30–80 operators, technicians, and line supervisors across the cluster • Drive daily production huddles, skill development programs, and cross-training of technicians • Maintain discipline, safety compliance (OSHA/factory act), and a positive shop floor culture Requirements Ideal Candidate Profile: • 11–18 years of experience in electronics manufacturing — specifically in consumer appliances, EMS companies, or kitchen appliance plants. • Strong hands-on electronics background — SMT operations, IGBT-based power electronics, PCB assembly, and functional testing • Experience managing a high-volume assembly line or cluster in companies. • Practical knowledge of BIS certification processes, IPC-A-610 standards, and ISO 9001 QMS • Lean / Six Sigma Green Belt preferred; hands-on with OEE tracking, SMED, and line balancing • Ability to read and interpret circuit diagrams, PCB layouts, and BOM structures
