This role involves conceptualizing and developing high-performance mechanical systems that comply with safety and industry standards while balancing functionality, ergonomics, and aesthetics. The candidate should have a passion for innovation, a structured design approach, and a deep understanding of component selection and 3D modeling.
Responsibilities
- Benchmark mechanical systems, components, and product architectures against industry standards and compliance requirements.
- Develop scalable, modular, and manufacturable mechanical system architectures.
- Create concept designs, layouts, and detailed mechanical solutions based on functional and performance requirements.
- Select appropriate materials, manufacturing processes, and components while optimizing cost and performance.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Electrical, Controls, Manufacturing, Quality, and Procurement throughout the product development lifecycle.
- Apply design thinking methodologies to develop innovative and customer-focused mechanical solutions.
- Perform design trade-off studies, feasibility analysis, and engineering calculations to optimize product performance.
- Evaluate standard mechanical components and suppliers based on quality, cost, reliability, and technical suitability.
- Create high-quality 3D CAD models, assemblies, and detailed engineering drawings following Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles.
- Ensure designs meet functionality, ergonomics, structural integrity, reliability, manufacturability, and aesthetic requirements.
- Generate and maintain engineering documentation, including BOMs, specifications, and design change records.
- Support prototype development, testing, validation, and product improvement activities.
- Ensure compliance with applicable safety, quality, and regulatory standards such as ISO, CE, UL, and customer-specific requirements.
- Participate in design reviews, risk assessments, and continuous improvement initiatives to enhance product quality and development efficiency.
- Coordinate with suppliers and manufacturing teams to resolve design, production, and assembly-related challenges.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
- 4–5+ years of experience in Mechanical Design and Product Development.
- Experience in Special Purpose Machine (SPM) design is preferred.
- Proficiency in Inventor, SolidWorks, CATIA, ANSYS, or similar CAD tools.
- Strong knowledge of mechanical systems, materials, manufacturing processes, DFM/DFA, and engineering standards.
- Good analytical, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
- Experience with prototype development, testing, and technical documentation is an added advantage.
- Candidates with Automation background are preferred.
