We are looking for Design Engineer – Traction Gear Box
This role will work within the Engineering team supporting traction motor and gear box products for railway applications such as locomotive, EMU and metro platforms. The engineer will contribute to design, development, validation, product introduction and technical support for traction gear box systems, including collaboration with internal teams, local vendors and global engineering stakeholders.
The Design Engineer – Traction Gear Box will work as part of the mechanical engineering team to support the design and development of traction gear box components and assemblies. The role ensures that designs are safe, robust, manufacturable and suitable for railway operating conditions including shock, vibration, thermal loading and long service life. The engineer will also support documentation design, engineering changes, supplier development, prototype build and validation activities.
You’ll make a difference by
- Design mechanical components and assemblies for traction gear boxes used in locomotive, EMU and metro applications.
- Develop robust designs suitable for railway application, including shock, vibration, temperature variation, lubrication and long-life durability requirements.
- Prepare and maintain design deliverables such as 3D models, manufacturing drawings, assembly drawings, calculations, technical documents and change records.
- Perform gear design checks, bearing selection support, shaft and housing assessment, tolerance stack-up analysis and design verification activities.
- Select appropriate materials, manufacturing processes and surface treatment requirements to achieve high reliability, durability and serviceability.
- Support prototype development, first article inspection, supplier assessment, validation testing and technical issue resolution during product introduction.
- Work closely with electrical, vehicle integration, manufacturing, quality, procurement, service and site teams to ensure seamless system performance.
- Participate in design reviews, customer discussions, local vendor development, cost optimization and engineering change implementation.
- Complete technical analysis of work carried out.
- Experience with railway traction systems for locomotives, EMUs, metro or similar rolling stock applications.
- Understanding of railway operational environments, product lifecycle requirements and service / overhaul considerations.
- Knowledge of applicable ISO, EN, IEC and IS standards relevant to railway mechanical design, validation and product safety.
- Hands-on experience with design reviews, FMEA, problem-solving methods such as A3 / 8D, risk assessment and engineering change management.
- Exposure to supplier development, localization, cost reduction, manufacturability improvement and first article inspection activities.
- Working knowledge of simulation tools such as Ansys / NX Nastran and basic project planning tools such as MS Project.
Desired Skills:
- Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or a related engineering discipline.
- Mid-level relevant experience, preferably 3–8 years, in mechanical design of traction gear boxes, traction motors, heavy-duty gear units, industrial transmissions or similar rotating equipment.
- Sound knowledge of gear design, bearing systems, shaft design, gear case / housing design, lubrication and thermal management. Knowledge of gear design software like KissSoft.
- Good understanding of GD&T, tolerance stack-up analysis, casting, machining, fabrication and manufacturing drawings.
- Experience with CAD and engineering data management tools such as Siemens NX and Teamcenter; working knowledge of AutoCAD and SAP is preferred.
- Ability to interpret customer specifications and convert requirements into mechanical design inputs and validation requirements.
- Familiarity with computational validation methods such as FEA / structural analysis and basic shock and vibration assessment.
- Effective communication, teamwork, problem-solving and analytical skills.
