Mechanical Engineer – R&D, Fabrication & Production Coordination

Company: Ettle (Sister company of Pooja Enterprises) Position Title: Mechanical Engineer – R&D, Fabrication & Production Coordination Reporting To: Design Head / Creative Director (Ettle Industrial) Department: Design + Production Interface Experiences: 1 to 5 years Location: Ettle Workshop, [Pooja Enterprises] Sachin, Surat (Gujarat), India. Employment Type: Full-time / Dynamic On-Site Role Salary: CTC ₹200,000.00 - ₹3,50,000.00 LPA (Based on experience and skills)

Company Overview: Ettle is a design studio that builds one design language, two terrains of use: ● Ettle Living → Outdoor & hospitality furniture (for homes, verandahs, cafés, boutique hotels, schools, resorts, gardens). ● Ettle Industrial → Stainless steel & engineered utility furniture for factories and institutions (canteen systems, trolleys, ladders, lockers).

The bridge: precision engineering meets crafted form. Every product shares the same backbone—robust materials, essential forms, and a commitment to longevity.

Objective Translate design concepts into technically accurate, manufacturable, and cost-efficient products by bridging design, fabrication, costing, and logistics functions within Ettle.

Scope of Work 1. Design & R&D ● Convert 3D’s, design sketches and concepts into feasibility. ● Validate design feasibility — load, stability, joinery, tolerances. ● Prepare fabrication + production ready assemblies and prototypes. ● Test new ideas, fittings, and material combinations. ● Suggest improvements for manufacturability and cost reduction.

2. Technical Documentation ● Generate 2D fabrication drawings with correct dimensions, bends, and tolerances. ● Create laser cutting and CNC bending plans. ● Build and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs) and part libraries. ● Manage revision control and file documentation. ● Maintain and practice Quality check lists.

3. Production Coordination ● Supervise fabrication teams; ensure drawings are correctly interpreted. ● Review and approve first samples before production. ● Coordinate finishing (powder coating, polishing, stone, or wood integration). ● Solve shop-floor challenges related to accuracy or assembly or positional/operational fulfilment.

4. Costing & Procurement ● Prepare costing breakdowns (materials, hardware, fabrication time, finish). ● Compare vendor quotations and suggest value engineering. ● Track market prices for metals and finishes.

5. Logistics & Operations ● Plan and supervise loading/unloading and dispatch operations with smart packaging. ● Coordinate with logistics teams for deliveries and installations. ● Maintain safety standards for movement and storage of finished goods.

6. Cross-Department Collaboration ● Bridge communication between design, fabrication, accounts, stores and head of departments. ● Translate creative intent into clear engineering instructions.

7. Growth & Systems ● Build SOPs for recurring product types. ● Develop jigs, modular systems, and training material. ● Contribute to the R & D repository for future product lines.

Skill & Personality Fit ● B.E./Diploma in Mechanical Engineering with hands-on fabrication exposure. ● Skilled in SolidWorks / AutoCAD / Fusion / Rhino.(optional) ● Understanding of SS, MS, aluminum fabrication and finishing. ● Balance of creative reasoning and technical rigor. ● Capable of managing both desk and floor responsibilities.

Impact Ensures that Ettle’s design language translates flawlessly into production reality, technically correct, cost-controlled, and consistently repeatable.
