PeopleStrong; Coimbatore District; On-site; INR 650,000 - 1,100,000; Full time

Job summary

DEIC-L&T Precision Engineering & Systems IC in Coimbatore designs high-precision jigs and fixtures for gadget manufacturing. You will oversee end-to-end design, development, and validation, ensuring tooling meets strict precision and First Article standards.

Key tasks include reviewing 3D models, performing gap analysis with customers, selecting BOP, designing mechanical and pneumatic systems, creating assembly guides, and supporting FAI during validation.

Qualifications

• Bachelor of Technology (BTech) is required.
• 3D modeling and drafting experience with CAD tools.
• Knowledge of FAI processes and manufacturing inspection.

Responsibilities

• 3D Model Study: Perform a detailed audit of customer-provided 3D models / 2D drawings to identify assembly constraints and critical dimensions.
• Gap Analysis: Detect DFM/DFA gaps and communicate directly with the customer to resolve technical ambiguities.
• Acceptance Criteria: Define the specific performance and quality benchmarks for each fixture.
• BOP Management: Select and specify Bought-Out Parts (BOP), including identifying equivalent makes to optimize cost and lead times.
• Mechanical: Precision bearings, linear rails, and slide ways.
• Pneumatics: Cylinders, DCV valves, and manifold systems.
• Electrical: Switches, push buttons, and wiring harnesses.
• Assembly Guides: Create visual, step-by-step assembly instructions for the toolroom.
• Check Sheets: Develop comprehensive inspection check sheets to verify fixture build quality.
• Troubleshooting: Lead the technical debugging of fixtures during the assembly and testing phases.
• FAI Support: Actively support the assembly team during First Article Inspection (FAI) to ensure the fixture delivers parts that meet 100% of customer specifications.

Job Description

POSITION SUMMARY

Responsible for the end-to-end design, development, and validation of high-precision jigs and fixtures specifically for gadget manufacturing. This role bridges the gap between customer concepts and shop-floor execution, ensuring that all tooling meets stringent precision, repeatability, and "First Article" success standards.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

• 3D Model Study: Perform a detailed audit of customer-provided 3D models / 2D drawings to identify assembly constraints and critical dimensions.
• Gap Analysis: Detect DFM/DFA gaps and communicate directly with the customer to resolve technical ambiguities.
• Acceptance Criteria: Define the specific performance and quality benchmarks for each fixture.

2. Design & Component Selection

• BOP Management: Select and specify Bought-Out Parts (BOP), including identifying equivalent makes to optimize cost and lead times.
  • Mechanical: Precision bearings, linear rails, and slide ways.
  • Pneumatics: Cylinders, DCV valves, and manifold systems.
  • Automation: PLCs, HMI units, and sensors (Proximity, Optical, Magnetic).
  • Electrical: Switches, push buttons, and wiring harnesses.

3. Documentation & Standards

• Assembly Guides: Create visual, step-by-step assembly instructions for the toolroom.
• Check Sheets: Develop comprehensive inspection check sheets to verify fixture build quality.

4. Execution & Validation

• Troubleshooting: Lead the technical debugging of fixtures during the assembly and testing phases.
• FAI Support: Actively support the assembly team during First Article Inspection (FAI) to ensure the fixture delivers parts that meet 100% of customer specifications.

TECHNICAL SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS

• CAD Mastery: Expert-level proficiency in 3D modeling software (e.g., SolidWorks, CATIA, or NX).
• Pneumatic/Electrical Logic: Ability to design actuation sequences and sensor integration for automated fixtures.
• Analytical Thinking: Strong root-cause analysis skills for troubleshooting mechanical misalignments.
• Precision Focus: Deep understanding of tolerance stack-up and high-precision manufacturing techniques.
• Fixture Accuracy: Zero deviation from defined Acceptance Criteria.
• FAI Success Rate: Achieving "Right First Time" on First Article Inspections.
• Documentation Clarity: Zero errors in Assembly Instructions and Check Sheets.
