## About Pluto
Pluto engineers scooter-sized vehicles purpose-built for last-mile delivery, carrying 2× more orders than conventional two-wheelers.
## About the Role
Own Pluto's vehicle assembly process and help set up a scalable production floor from part receiving to final vehicle rollout.
## Responsibilities
* Define the complete vehicle assembly process from part receiving to final vehicle rollout
* Create assembly stations, process flow, inventory management, work sequence, tools, fixtures, and manpower requirements
* Develop clear work instructions for operators and validate each station before it goes live
* Help set up the assembly area, workstation layout, material movement, storage, and WIP flow
* Define station-wise requirements for tooling, jigs, fixtures, safety, and ergonomics
* Build quality checkpoints at critical stages of assembly
* Define inspection checklists for mechanical, electrical, electronics, and firmware-related assembly steps
* Track defects, identify root causes, and close corrective actions
* Define station-wise kits, part presentation, and traceability for critical parts and assemblies
* Coordinate with sourcing and stores to avoid line stoppages
* Coordinate engineering change implementation with engineering teams
* Update work instructions, tools, fixtures, kits, and process documents when design changes affect assembly
* Maintain short-term production readiness plans for upcoming vehicle builds
* Identify risks related to parts, tooling, process gaps, and manpower
* Resolve shop-floor issues through hands-on investigation and improve the process using defects, delays, and operator feedback
## Requirements
* 4-6 years of hands-on experience in automotive, EV, mechanical-electrical, machinery, or similar assembly environments
* Experience setting up or improving an assembly process
* Strong understanding of mechanical assembly, wiring harness fitment, electrical/electronics integration, and basic firmware flashing or calibration processes
* Familiarity with torque checks, crimping quality, connector routing, waterproofing practices, and end-of-line checks
* Ability to create work instructions, inspection checklists, and basic process documentation
* Comfortable spending most of the time on the shop floor
* Strong technical judgment and ability to identify the right trade-offs between speed, quality, and feasibility
* Ability to work closely with engineering, sourcing, stores, and operators
* Ownership mindset for vehicle assembly outcomes end-to-end
