About The Role

We are looking for a skilled and detail-oriented Field Engineer to support daily Pre-Dispatch Inspection (PDI), quality checks, and field-level technical activities for our Battery Swapping Station Project across the Delhi-NCR region. This is a predominantly field-based role requiring frequent visits to vendor locations, fabrication facilities, installation sites, and project locations. The ideal candidate should have hands-on knowledge of sheet metal fabrication processes, mechanical assemblies, quality inspection procedures, and technical documentation. The candidate must be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with evolving product designs and project requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• Pre-Dispatch Inspection (PDI) & Quality Assurance
• Conduct daily PDI activities for battery swapping station components and assemblies.
• Inspect fabricated and assembled components against approved engineering drawings, technical specifications, and quality standards.
• Identify manufacturing defects, dimensional deviations, finishing issues, and assembly-related non-conformities.
• Verify product quality, functionality, workmanship, and readiness before dispatch.
• Prepare PDI reports, inspection checklists, and quality documentation.
• Coordinate with internal teams and vendors to ensure timely closure of inspection observations.
• Sheet Metal Fabrication & Mechanical Inspection
• Inspect sheet metal fabrication processes, including:
  • Laser cutting and dimensional accuracy
  • Sheet metal bending and forming
  • Welding quality and structural integrity
  • Mechanical assembly and component fitment
  • Powder coating, surface finishing, and visual quality
• Verify fabricated components against engineering drawings, tolerances, and specifications.
• Identify manufacturing defects and recommend corrective actions.
• Coordinate with fabrication vendors to resolve quality concerns.
• Field Operations & Project Coordination
• Travel extensively across Delhi-NCR for daily inspections and project-related field activities.
• Coordinate with vendors, manufacturing partners, and internal project teams.
• Support on-site quality checks, mechanical inspections, and issue resolution at battery swapping station locations.
• Track inspection schedules, report issues, and ensure timely project execution.
• Provide field-level feedback to engineering and product development teams for continuous product improvement.
• Documentation & Reporting
• Maintain accurate PDI reports, inspection records, photographs, checklists, and non-conformance reports (NCRs).
• Ensure proper documentation in accordance with company guidelines and quality procedures.
• Maintain daily inspection status reports and communicate pending observations.
• Track corrective and preventive actions and verify closure of identified defects.
• Ensure proper traceability of inspection findings and approvals.
• Continuous Improvement & Cross-Functional Collaboration
• Adapt to frequent product modifications, engineering changes, and evolving project requirements.
• Work closely with Quality, Production, Design, Engineering, and Project Execution teams.
• Recommend improvements in fabrication quality, inspection methods, and operational efficiency.
• Support root cause analysis and corrective action implementation for recurring quality issues.

Required Skills & Competencies

• Strong understanding of sheet metal fabrication processes, including laser cutting, bending, welding, assembly, and powder coating.
• Practical experience in PDI, quality inspection, mechanical assembly inspection, or manufacturing quality control.
• Ability to read and interpret mechanical engineering drawings, dimensions, and tolerances.
• Familiarity with measuring instruments such as Vernier calipers, micrometers, measuring tapes, and gauges.
• Knowledge of quality inspection methods, defect identification, and non-conformance reporting.
• Proficiency in MS Excel, Google Sheets, and basic reporting tools.
• Strong attention to detail and systematic documentation skills.
• Good communication, problem-solving, and vendor coordination abilities.
• Ability to independently manage daily field inspections and reporting.
