Troubleshoot production issues including dimensional drift surface defects material
inconsistency and assembly fit problems.
Application Engineering & Product Knowledge
Evaluate gasket performance based on temperature resistance pressure rating compressibility
chemical compatibility and vibration endurance relevant to automobile applications.
Support application mapping for exhaust systems DPF/emission systems turbocharger
assemblies engine sealing and other automotive sub-systems.
Build and maintain a product application knowledge base: map gasket variants (DPF gaskets
graphite exhaust gaskets engineered gaskets EGR joints cylinder head joints turbocharger
gaskets manifold joints) to vehicle platforms and requirements of customers such as Dinex
Automan Fischer Teconnex Cummins JCB and similar manufacturers.
Provide technical inputs to Sales on product feasibility material selection and application
suitability for customer enquiries from the automobile sector.
Support go-to-market efforts by translating production capability into commercially relevant
product specifications and datasheets for automotive customers.

Testing Quality & Standards Compliance
Support internal and third-party testing including thermal cycling compression/recovery testing
leak testing and endurance validation for automotive gaskets.
Maintain awareness of and compliance with updated testing standards applicable to automotive
gaskets (ASTM IS EN DIN) as per current industry norms.
Ensure test reports material certifications and quality documentation meet automotive customer
and export market expectations.
Support root cause analysis and corrective actions for internal defects and customer complaints.
Maintain technical documentation specifications work instructions and control plans.
Support internal audits customer audits and automotive qualification programs.
Cross-Functional & Customer Coordination
Work closely with Sales Production Quality and R&D teams for product approvals and issue
resolution.
Provide technical inputs during customer discussions trials and audits with automobile and
engine manufacturers such as Dinex Automan Fischer Teconnex Cummins JCB and similar
customers.
Support new product development cost reduction and performance improvement initiatives.
Digital & AI-Enabled Working
Use AI tools for test data analysis documentation drafting root cause brainstorming and
productivity tracking.
Leverage Excel ERP and digital dashboards for production reporting and analysis.
Continuously upgrade skills in digital manufacturing and AI-based productivity tools.
