Manufacturing Quality & NPI Engineer

CuzorLabs; Bengaluru; On-site; INR 900,000 - 1,200,000; Full time

Job summary

CuzorLabs in Bengaluru, India seeks a seasoned electronics manufacturing engineer to drive NPI from EVT to ramp, balance cycle times, and design fixtures for pilot builds achieving FPY targets before scale-up.

You will lead PFMEA, control plans, FAI sign-off, and audits against released docs, while defining ICT/FCT jigs and ensuring device test coverage and calibration adherence. Willingness to travel to supplier sites is required.

Qualifications

• Diploma or BE/BTech in Electronics, EEE, E&I, Mechatronics or a related discipline.
• 4+ years in electronics manufacturing with real NPI exposure, not just sustaining.
• Experience across roles like resident engineer, source inspection, SQE, or EMS handling with hands-on plant knowledge.
• Ability to read schematics, BOMs, Gerbers and fab drawings and participate in design reviews.
• SMT processes: reflow profiling, stencil and paste, AOI, ICT/FCT, conformal coating, rework.
• Practical command of AQL sampling (ISO 2859/IS 2500), PFMEA, control plans, 8D, 5-why, MSA/GR&R, SPC, calibration, and IEC 61340 ESPD control.
• Willingness to travel to supplier and partner sites.

Responsibilities

• Take builds from EVT through DVT to ramp with line and station layout, cycle time balancing, fixture design, and FPY targets before volume authorisation.
• PFMEA, control plans, work instructions, golden samples, FAI sign-off, and periodic audits against released documents.
• Define ICT and FCT jigs with engineering; ensure test coverage and limits, hipot and earth-continuity setups, BMS and pack functional test, gauge calibration and GR&R.
• AQL sampling plans per ISO 2859 for cells, BMS and adapters; manage supplier 8D, scorecards and lot disposition.
• Apply knowledge of SMT: reflow, stencil/paste, AOI, ICT/FCT, conformal coating, and rework to maintain quality on production lines.

Job description

Take builds from EVT through DVT and PVT to ramp. Line and station layout, cycle time balancing, fixture design, and pilot-build FPY at target before we authorise volume.

Process documentation and control

PFMEA, control plans, work instructions, golden samples, FAI sign-off, and periodic audits against the released documents rather than against what the line has drifted into.

Define ICT and FCT jigs with engineering. Test coverage and limits, hipot and earth-continuity setups, BMS and pack functional test, gauge calibration and GR&R.

Incoming quality and lot disposition

AQL sampling plans per ISO 2859 for cells, BMS and adapters. Supplier 8D, scorecards, and the call on whether a lot ships.

What you bring

• Diploma or BE/BTech in Electronics, EEE, E&I, Mechatronics or a related discipline
• 4+ years in electronics manufacturing with real NPI exposure, not just sustaining
• Time spent across an organisational boundary: resident engineer, source inspection, SQE, or the EMS side handling a demanding customer. You know how to get things done in a plant you don't control
• You read schematics, BOMs, Gerbers and fab drawings, and can hold your own in a design review
• SMT fluency: reflow profiling, stencil and paste, AOI, ICT/FCT, conformal coating, rework
• Practical command of AQL sampling (ISO 2859 / IS 2500), PFMEA, control plans, 8D, 5-why, MSA/GR&R, SPC, calibration, and ESD control per IEC 61340
• Willing to travel to supplier and partner sites
