Hello!
Are you a Mechanical Engineer with a strong understanding of plastics, product engineering, and manufacturing processes?
We are looking for a skilled and detail-oriented Plastics Mechanical Engineer who can bridge the gap between creative product design and engineering execution.
At DesignGrit Studio, we are an innovation-driven design studio working across diverse product categories. Our approach combines creative thinking, functional design, and engineering precision to develop meaningful, high-quality products.
The ideal candidate should be able to understand design intent, interpret product functionality, translate complex forms into practical engineering solutions, and develop accurate CAD models ready for prototyping and manufacturing.
You will work closely with our design and development team, transforming initial concepts, sketches, and design references into detailed engineering models. A strong understanding of plastic materials, moulding processes, mechanical components, and manufacturing constraints is essential.
We are looking for someone who is proactive, collaborative, technically sound, and confident in identifying design challenges, evaluating structural integrity, and proposing effective engineering solutions throughout the product development process.
Have a portfolio? Send your work to hello.designgrit@gmail.com
Only applications accompanied by a relevant design engineering portfolio will be considered. Applications without a portfolio will not be shortlisted.
Position: Full-Time
Profile: Plastics Mechanical Engineer / Design Engineer
Location: Mumbai
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Develop detailed 3D CAD models, assemblies, and manufacturing-ready technical drawings based on design inputs, sketches, references, and concepts.
