• Perform engineering calculations and simulations to validate functionality, efficiency, and structural integrity.
• Lead prototype testing, troubleshooting, and product validation; resolve design issues with practical solutions.
• Prepare technical reports, BOMs, and documentation for design reviews and client presentations.
• Coordinate with manufacturing, purchase, and quality assurance to ensure design feasibility and process compliance.
• Select materials, components, and vendors; maintain accurate records of design changes, test results, and milestones.
• Apply industry standards, regulations, and best practices; stay current with new technologies in mechanical design.

Conveyor Experience (Mandatory)

• Strong understanding of conveyor types belt, roller, chain, screw, and carousel conveyors.
• End-to-end conveyor project execution: concept, CAD design, fabrication, installation, alignment, and commissioning.
• Component selection motors, gearboxes, rollers, idlers, pulleys, belts, chains, and drives based on load, speed, and application.
• Load calculation and structural integrity analysis for conveyor frames and supports.
• Conveyor automation integration with PLCs, sensors, and control systems.
• Preventive/corrective maintenance and performance optimization reducing downtime, increasing throughput and reliability.
• Cost estimation, vendor coordination, client documentation (proposals, BOMs, manuals), and knowledge of OSHA / CE / ISO safety norms.

Qualifications & Skills

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
• Minimum 5 years' full-time industrial experience in SolidWorks (mandatory), including 3D sketching and weldments.
• Sound knowledge of manufacturing processes CNC machining, welded fabrication, and sheet metal operations and raw material selection (square tubes, flats, rectangular tubes, etc.).
• Familiarity with materials, tolerancing, and standards such as ASME / ISO; simulation exposure (FEA/CFD) desirable.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills with excellent attention to detail.
