HireSetu's note
Three names, one job
The heading says Engineering Change Management, the summary calls it Junior Engineer, Operations Engineering, and the category is Production Engineering. The duties settle it: supplier approval, PPAP submissions, first article inspection, root cause follow-up, audit readiness, cost recovery for supplier-caused defects. That is supplier quality engineering. If you have been filtering for change management roles, read the body again before you apply.
Freshers are in scope
Zero to two years, no degree named, so this is built for fresh graduates and people with a year or two on a plant floor. The gate is the standards list: APQP, PPAP, FMEA, TS16949, measurement system analysis, PFMEA and Lean. A standard mechanical or production engineering course covers little of that. A manufacturing internship where you handled a control plan, an inspection report or a supplier rejection note counts for more here than a high CGPA.
Engineering drawings are on the list too, so if tolerances and GD&T symbols are still unfamiliar, that gap will show quickly.
The analytics paragraph is its own thread
The last few bullets jump to big data collection, statistical methods and data-driven decision support. Nothing earlier mentions dashboards, query languages or statistical software, so read those lines as the team's wider ambition for the position. Any Six Sigma or statistical process control exposure you have is what connects the two halves of this listing.
Questions for the hiring manager
Which plant or business unit in Chennai, and which customers does it serve? How much travel to supplier sites is involved? Who does the role report to, given the listing mentions supporting the Quality Manager? Does the data analytics work sit with this position or a separate team? Those four answers decide what your first year actually looks like.

- Open Flex's careers site with the Apply button.
- Create a Workday account for Flex. Workday logins are separate for every company, so an account made for another employer won't work here.
