Induction Hardening Engineer

Skill Requirement – Induction Hardening Engineer (Coil Design & Process)
RTL needs one engineer who can design inductor coils, set and prove induction hardening recipes, and run the new 150 kW dual-frequency machine for GEN-3 HUB bearing rings.
The minimum profile is a B.E./B.Tech (Mechanical, Metallurgy or Production) with 5+ years in manufacturing, including at least 3 years of hands-on induction hardening and real coil design.
Qualification and experience
Requirement
Must have
Preferred
Education
B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical, Metallurgy or Production Engineering; or Diploma (Mechanical/Metallurgy) with 3 extra years of induction experience
M.E./M.Tech in Metallurgy, Heat Treatment or Materials
Total experience
5–8 years in automotive or bearing component manufacturing
—
Induction hardening
3+ years hands-on process setting on induction machines, single-shot and/or scan
Bearing rings, wheel hubs, CV joints, shafts, gears
Coil design
Designed or specified at least 3 production coils taken through trials to release
ID / profiled raceway coils with flux concentrators and integral quench
Quality system
Worked in an IATF 16949 plant; prepared PFMEA, control plan, PPAP documents for heat treatment
Worked to bearing-customer heat-treatment specifications
Key responsibilities
• Design and specify coils for every new induction-hardened part using the RTL coil design SOP; issue coil drawings, 3D models, point tables and setting masters.
• Develop process recipes, run trials and cut-ups, complete capability studies, and release and lock recipes in SCADA.
• Coordinate with coil makers and the machine supplier; carry out incoming inspection of new and repaired coils.
• Keep the coil register: spares per station, cycle count, repair history and replacement decisions.
• Monitor the running process daily (energy alarms, quench concentration, flow, pressure, temperature) and apply the reaction plan.
• Investigate heat-treatment rejections and customer complaints with 8D and root-cause analysis.
• Prepare and maintain PFMEA, control plan and work instructions for induction hardening; train operators and setters.
• Support feasibility, cycle-time and cost estimates for new parts and customer RFQs.
Behavioural skills
• Hands-on: comfortable on the shop floor, setting the machine and cutting sections, not only in the office.
• Data-driven: changes one variable at a time and decides from hardness traverses and records, not from guesswork.
• Documentation discipline: keeps the design record, trial reports and recipe changes complete and traceable.
• Communication: clear in English and Hindi for reports, customers and operators; Gujarati is an advantage on the shop floor.
• Coordination: works well with CNC production, quality, maintenance, purchase and outside coil makers.
• Trainer: can teach operators and setters, and write simple work instructions.
• Flexibility: willing to work extended hours and shifts during commissioning and new-part trials.
