Full job description

1. BOM Review & RFQ Initiation
  • Review the prototype BOM received from the Product Design (R&D) Team.
  • Identify parts requiring development and send RFQs to short listed prototype suppliers.
  • Obtain cost and timeline quotes for parts, tooling (if applicable), and any special processes.
  • Evaluate and compare supplier quotations; submit for review to HOD / SCM teams.
  • Discuss feasibility points with suppliers and conclude jointly with the R&D team.
  • Finalize supplier and submit cost inputs to the relevant stakeholders for approval.
2. Supplier Identification and Feasibility Analysis
  • Identify suitable prototype part suppliers based on capability, lead time, and past experience.
  • Share design drawings and receive supplier feedback on manufacturability (DFM), material availability, and process capabilities.
  • Assess feasibility for quick development, including any special process or machining needs.
  • Evaluate supplier readiness for prototype timeline adherence and flexibility in iterations.
  • Get supplier alignment and freeze development plan with R&D / SCM.
3. Prototype Tooling (if required) and Part Development
  • Coordinate PR release and share all commercial and technical inputs with Purchase / SCM for PO issuance.
  • If tooling is involved, track tool manufacturing progress as per the development plan.
  • Visit toolmakers and/or part suppliers to monitor progress and provide support for resolving technical challenges.
  • Ensure tool trials and part development are aligned with design intent and project timelines.
  • Conduct sample inspections and coordinate with R&D for part evaluation, fitment trials, and feedback resolution.
  • Update and maintain records of part modifications and development iterations for traceability.
4. Prototype Part Quality Review & Approval
  • Organize dimensional inspection and visual quality checks of the prototype parts.
  • Prepare and submit sample inspection reports along with parts to the R&D and QA teams.
  • Coordinate with QA and R&D for feedback on fitment, function, or any deviation.
  • Implement corrective actions, if needed, and re-develop or modify the parts accordingly.
  • Once approved, ensure documentation of part version, deviation reports, and design compliance.
5. Pre-Production Handover & Lessons Learned
  • Support limited batch build or field trial with approved prototype parts.
  • Share build feedback with the R&D, Quality, and Process Engineering teams.
  • Document learnings from prototype development including part behavior, process challenges, and improvement suggestions for mass production transition.
  • Participate in design review and DFM/ DFA feedback loops to enhance future designs and manufacturability.
6. Additional Responsibilities
  • Maintain close coordination with cross-functional teams (PM, R&D, SCM and QA).
  • Ensure adherence to project timelines, technical accuracy, and cost targets for prototype parts.
  • Support internal build schedules and ensure timely delivery of prototype parts for testing and validation phases.
  • Contribute actively to continuous improvement in prototype development processes.
