About Yantra24x7Yantra24x7 helps SME manufacturers see, measure, and improve what happens on their shop floor. Our Industrial IoT platform connects machines (CNC, conventional, and special-purpose) to deliver real-time OEE, downtime, and production intelligence — without expensive consultants or complex ERP projects.
Our Traceability solution extends this into complete part and batch genealogy — capturing which machine, operator, tool, program, and process parameters produced every part or batch. For SMEs supplying to automotive, aerospace, defence, and export customers, this delivers audit-ready compliance (IATF 16949, AS9100/NADCAP-aligned documentation), faster root-cause analysis when a defect surfaces, containment of recalls to the exact affected lot instead of entire production runs, and the customer-audit confidence that increasingly decides who wins OEM and Tier-1 business.
The RoleOur SME customers increasingly ask us to spend time inside their factories before they buy — to study their processes, talk to their operators, and show exactly where Yantra can create value. You will be the person who does this.
This is a hands-on, shop-floor-first role that blends industrial engineering with pre-sales consulting. You will spend 2–3 days at a time inside customer plants, run structured discovery studies, execute pilots on a cell or line of machines, and translate the findings into a clear business case the owner/MD can act on.
What You Will Do• Factory discovery studies: Spend 2–4 days at prospect/customer plants studying their manufacturing process — machine layout, cycle times, changeovers, bottlenecks, downtime patterns, quality losses.
• Operator and supervisor conversations: Interview operators, supervisors, and maintenance teams to understand ground realities (not just what management believes is happening).
• Loss analysis: Apply Lean / TPM thinking (16 major losses, OEE waterfall, 7 wastes) to quantify where the plant is losing money today.
• Traceability discovery: Map the customer's current traceability practices — route cards, registers, batch tags — identify gaps against their end-customer/audit requirements (IATF, AS9100, export norms), and show how Yantra's Traceability solution closes them with quantified benefits: audit readiness, recall containment, and rejection root-cause speed.
• Pilot execution: Set up and run a Yantra pilot on one cell or line — work with our tech team on machine connectivity, define KPIs, monitor for 2–4 weeks, and validate improvement.
• Business case & presentation: Convert findings into a simple, numbers-backed report and present the benefits to the customer's leadership — “here is what you're losing, here is what Yantra found, here is the payback.”
• Feed the product team: Bring shop-floor insights back to our product and engineering team so the platform keeps getting better for SME realities.
What We Are Looking For• 3–5 years of hands-on experience in a manufacturing plant — production, industrial engineering, or continuous improvement roles.
• Working knowledge of Lean Manufacturing, TPM, 5S, or Six Sigma (Green Belt or equivalent practical exposure preferred; certification not mandatory if you have real shop-floor results).
• Comfortable calculating and explaining OEE, cycle time, takt time, downtime Pareto, and changeover losses.
• Able to talk to a machine operator in Tamil and to an MD in a boardroom — and be credible with both.
• Strong observation and documentation skills — you can walk a shop floor and come back with a structured picture, not just impressions.
• Willingness to travel extensively (expect 10–15 days/month at customer sites).
• Basic comfort with data — Excel analysis is a must; exposure to any MES/OEE/IoT software is a plus.
• Exposure to quality systems and traceability requirements (IATF 16949, AS9100, PPAP, customer audits, batch/lot control) is a strong plus — especially if you have faced a customer audit or handled a rejection/recall investigation.
• Diploma or B.E. in Mechanical / Production / Industrial Engineering or related field.
What Makes This Role Different• You will see dozens of factories a year instead of one — the fastest way to build genuine manufacturing breadth.
• Shop floor + technology + business — a rare profile that most plant CI roles never develop.
• Direct exposure to founders and customers' owners/MDs — your work directly closes deals.
• Growth path into Solutions Consulting / Customer Success leadership as Yantra scales.
CompensationIn line with Industry norms, plus travel expenses fully covered, with performance-linked incentives tied to pilot conversions. Compensation reviews are linked to demonstrated impact, not tenure.
