Magma Engineering & MRO is a new business vertical of Magma, created to support factories with end-to-end precision engineering, machining, fabrication, and maintenance solutions — from design to delivery. With captive control over advanced machining and fabrication facilities equipped with CNC, VMC, deep-hole drilling, honing, turn-milling, heavy fabrication, and precision inspection systems, this vertical operates as an extended in-house engineering arm for our customers. The focus is on reliability, speed, quality, and long-term partnerships. Position Overview: The Head – Engineering & MRO will be responsible for building, scaling, and leading Magma's Engineering & MRO vertical end-to-end. The Head – Engineering & MRO must possess deep hands-on understanding of precision machining processes and be able to translate complex drawings into repeatable, scalable manufacturing solutions using CNC, VMC, turn-mill, deep-hole drilling, honing, and advanced inspection capabilities. This role combines technical leadership, operations excellence, customer engagement, and P&L ownership to establish Magma as a trusted engineering partner for factories across industries. The incumbent will ensure execution across machining, fabrication, maintenance support, quality, and delivery — while integrating captive facilities into a single, high-performance engineering ecosystem. Key Responsibilities: · Own the overall strategy, growth, and profitability of the Engineering & MRO vertical · Define service offerings across precision machining, fabrication, MRO, prototyping, and batch production · Build Magma's positioning as a long-term engineering partner embedded in customer operations · Identify industry clusters, key accounts, and repeat-program opportunities · Lead captive machining and fabrication facilities as integrated extensions of Magma · Oversee process planning, feasibility analysis, tooling strategy, and production scheduling · Read, interpret, and challenge complex drawings, tolerances, and GD&T · Ensure optimal utilization of CNC, VMC, turn-mill, deep-hole drilling, honing, fabrication, and toolroom capabilities. · Identify manufacturing risks early — tolerance risk, distortion, tool wear, inspection gaps. Balance precision, cost, cycle time, and delivery without compromising reliability · Establish and enforce robust quality systems across all facilities · Oversee inspection, documentation, traceability, and customer audits · Build a culture of first-time-right manufacturing. Act as the senior engineering interface for key customers ·Support customers during shutdowns, retrofits, urgent breakdowns, and critical spare requirements. Enable customers to choose material + machining or machining-only models seamlessly ·Support preventive, corrective, and shutdown maintenance programs · Develop quick-response workflows for downtime-critical components · Build and mentor a strong team across engineering, production, QA, planning, and vendor coordination · Enable cross-selling and integrated solutions for manufacturing customers · Strengthen Magma's role inside the broader manufacturing value chain Key Deliverables & Outcomes · Scaled and profitable Engineering & MRO vertical · High customer retention and repeat production programs · Reduced turnaround times and consistent delivery performance · Strong quality reputation with zero-critical failures · Well-integrated captive facilities operating as one system Qualifications: · 12–18+ years of experience in precision engineering, machining, fabrication, or industrial MRO. · Proven leadership of CNC/VMC-based operations and complex machining programs. · Experience managing multi-facility or captive manufacturing setups. · Strong exposure to customer-facing engineering roles and key account handling. · Ability to balance engineering depth with commercial outcomes. · High ownership, decisiveness, and problem-solving capability. · Comfortable operating in fast-growing, evolving environment. What We Offer: · Salary is negotiable for the right candidate. · Opportunity to build and lead a high-impact vertical from the ground up. · Access to captive, advanced engineering capabilities — not just vendor coordination. · Long-term vision, strong leadership backing, and meaningful customer impact · Opportunities for professional development and growth. · A collaborative and innovative work environment.
