Production Execution & Design Coordination Engineer

About the job

Company: Ettle

Location: Surat (On-site / Workshop-based)

Type: Full-time

Salary: Up to ₹30,000 per month (based on execution capability & responsibility)

About Ettle

Ettle is a design-led studio and manufacturing practice working across three segments:

Ettle Living

Outdoor, hospitality, and public-space furniture for homes, cafés, hotels, schools, and shared spaces.

Ettle Industrial

Stainless-steel and engineered utility furniture for factories, institutions, and large operations — built for efficiency, durability, and long service life.

Ettle Custom

Project-based, custom design and fabrication work across any industry — retail, exhibitions, hospitality, industrial setups, installations, or one-off functional objects.

Across all three, the philosophy remains the same:

engineered precision, material honesty, essential forms, and longevity.

Design intent is strong — but execution is non-negotiable.

Role Summary (Read Carefully)

This is not a design role.

Your responsibility begins after the design is created.

Once a design, drawing, or concept is received, you are responsible for executing it on the shop floor — correctly, practically, and on time.

You are the bridge between design, production, labor, and owners across:

• Standard products (Living & Industrial)
• Custom, project-based work (Ettle Custom)

Key Responsibilities

Production Execution (Core Responsibility)

• Receive finalized drawings / concepts from the design team
• Convert drawings into clear, executable shop-floor tasks
• Execute designs through fabrication, assembly, and finishing
• Ensure accuracy, fitment, structural integrity, and finish
• Track daily production progress and timelines

Labor & Manpower Coordination

• Ensure adequate labor availability for assigned work
• Allocate jobs clearly to avoid idle time or confusion
• If labor drops, overloads, or bottlenecks arise immediately inform owners
• Maintain discipline, clarity, and workflow on the floor

Design Production Feedback (R&D Support)

• Identify practical issues during fabrication or assembly:
• Tolerance clashes
• Assembly difficulties
• Material limitations
• Process inefficiencies
• Report issues clearly to designers
• Participate in back-and-forth coordination to improve manufacturability
• Support turning ideas into practical, repeatable solutions

Design decisions are not yours — execution feedback is. Ettle Custom – Project Execution

• Handle one-off and project-based custom orders
• Understand project intent, constraints, and timelines
• Coordinate execution across unfamiliar or mixed applications
• Maintain clarity even when designs are non-standard
• Ensure custom work meets Ettles quality and structural standards

Quality, Process & Reporting

• Ensure drawings are followed correctly
• Flag quality deviations early
• Assist in basic QC during production
• Support simple SOPs, checklists, or process notes when needed
• Provide clear daily / weekly status updates

What This Role Is NOT

Not a CAD designer role

Not a desk-only engineering role

Not a senior R&D ownership position

Not a passive instruction-following job

This is a hands-on execution and responsibility role.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Diploma / BE in Mechanical Engineering (preferred)
• Strong understanding of fabrication, welding, assembly
• Comfortable working on the shop floor
• Knows how things are built, not just how they are drawn
• Can communicate clearly with labor and supervisors
• Calm under pressure, practical in thinking
• Raises problems early instead of hiding them

CAD knowledge is a plus, not mandatory Design support will be provided.


Why Join Ettle?

• Work across design, manufacturing, and real projects
• Exposure to furniture, industrial systems, and custom installations
• Learn how good design survives real-world use
• Direct interaction with owners and designers
• Growth path into Production Lead / Project Execution / Operations
