Maintenance Engineer

Position: Maintenance Engineer

Location: Chakan

Core Expertise: PLC Automation, Hydraulic Presses, Transfer Moulding, SPMs

Job Purpose

Maximize plant runtime, eliminate equipment breakdowns, and ensure seamless tier-1 automotive component manufacturing operations through high-level mechanical and electrical maintenance.

Key Responsibilities

• Hydraulic Presses: Perform breakdown and preventive maintenance on high-tonnage hydraulic presses, proportional valves, manifolds, cylinders, and high-pressure pumps.
• Transfer Moulding: Troubleshoot, repair, and optimize rubber/plastic transfer moulding machinery, clamping mechanisms, hot runner systems, and temperature controllers.
• PLC & Automation: Diagnose faults, upload/download programs, alter ladder logic, and calibrate HMIs, VFDs, and proximity sensors (Siemens / Mitsubishi / Allen-Bradley).
• Breakdown Analysis: Target zero-breakdown operational metrics by analyzing and reducing Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) and increasing Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF).
• Compliance & Safety: Maintain standard documentation for IATF 16949 and Total Productive Maintenance (TPM). Ensure strict enforcement of Lockout-Tagout (LOTO) protocols.
• Spares Management: Track and maintain inventory for critical electrical, hydraulic, and mechanical spares to eliminate prolonged lead times during breakdowns.

Technical Skills Required

• Advanced blueprint and schematic reading (hydraulic circuit diagrams and electrical drawings).
• Hands-on PLC diagnostic fault-finding and hardware loop checking.
• Strong background in manufacturing automation, root cause analysis (5-Why, Kaizen), and 5S plant practices.

Qualifications & Experience

• Education: B.E. / B.Tech / Diploma in Electrical, Mechanical, or Mechatronics Engineering.
• Experience: 3 to 7 years of core maintenance experience inside an automotive component manufacturing plant.
