About the Role

Octobotics Tech is developing advanced robotic systems for industrial inspection and automation. We are looking for a hands-on Production Engineer who can bridge design, manufacturing, and assembly to ensure efficient production of robotic systems and mechanical assemblies.

This role requires someone comfortable working in a startup environment, managing vendors, coordinating with design teams, and ensuring smooth production of complex electro-mechanical systems.

We are looking for engineers with a strong hands-on approach—someone who enjoys building, assembling, and troubleshooting machines on the shop floor, not just working behind a keyboard.

Production & Assembly

·      Plan and manage production of robotic systems, crawlers, and mechanical assemblies.

·      Prepare Bill of Materials (BOM), production drawings, and assembly instructions.

·      Supervise assembly of mechanical, electrical, and electronic components.

·      Ensure quality control and testing before dispatch.

Manufacturing Coordination

·      Coordinate with machine shops, sheet metal vendors, and fabrication partners.

·      Manage outsourced manufacturing and machining work.

·      Ensure timely delivery of parts and assemblies.

·      Optimize manufacturing processes to reduce cost and lead time.

Production Planning

·      Develop production schedules and work instructions.

·      Maintain inventory of parts, tools, and consumables.

·      Track manufacturing progress and resolve bottlenecks.

Quality & Documentation

·      Implement quality inspection procedures for machined and fabricated parts.

·      Maintain production documentation and revision control.

·      Ensure adherence to design specifications and tolerances.

Cross-Team Collaboration

·      Work closely with design engineers, electronics team, and software team.

·      Provide feedback to improve design for manufacturability (DFM).

·      Support prototype builds and field deployments.

Required Skills

·      Strong understanding of mechanical fabrication and assembly

·      Experience with machining, sheet metal, welding, and fabrication processes

·      Knowledge of BOM management and production planning

·      Familiarity with robotic systems, electromechanical assemblies, or automation equipment

·      Ability to manage vendors and production timelines.

Preferred Skills

·      Experience in robotics, industrial equipment, or manufacturing startups

·      Knowledge of CAD tools (SolidWorks / Fusion 360 / AutoCAD)

·      Experience with quality control and inspection tools

·      Understanding of DFM and DFA principles

Qualifications

·      B.Tech / Diploma in Mechanical Engineering / Production Engineering / Mechatronics

·      2–5 years experience in manufacturing or production engineering

Benefits

·      Opportunity to work on cutting-edge robotic inspection systems

·      Fast-paced startup environment with high ownership

·      Hands-on experience building real industrial robots
