Role you're checking

Production Engineer

Operations

Production Engineers own the daily output of the shop floor — they are accountable for hitting the daily production plan (DPP), controlling cycle times and line balance, driving zero-breakdown discipline through Jishu Hozen (JH) and Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), and squeezing reject rates through real-time root-cause with Quality. In India, the role concentrates in automotive OEMs (Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra, Hero MotoCorp, Bajaj Auto, TVS Motor, Honda Cars and Motorcycles), electronics contract manufacturers (Foxconn India — Sriperumbudur, Dixon Technologies — Tirupati/Noida, Optiemus Infracom), and capital-goods majors (Bharat Forge, Kirloskar, L&T Heavy Engineering). The canonical entry credential is B.Tech / B.E. in Mechanical Engineering or Production Engineering; the role demands physical shop-floor presence — in-person, shift-based, often 6-day weeks during model launch. Distinct from an Industrial Engineer who owns improvement projects and MTM-2 work-study on a project basis: a Production Engineer owns the output number every single shift.
