Job summary

Vecmocon seeks an experienced Jig Design Engineer to own the design, build and lifecycle of mechanical jigs for assembly, FCT and PDI across product lines. You will ensure accuracy and repeatability on the production line, and provide early DFT/DFM inputs during NPI.

You should have 3–6 years designing mechanical and electrical products, with strong SolidWorks, GD&T skills and hands-on fixture experience, including pogo-pin fixtures and pneumatics.

Qualifications

• BE/B.Tech in Mechanical or Mechatronics.
• 3–6 years designing mechanical and electrical products.
• Strong in SolidWorks, GD&T and tolerance stack-up.
• Hands-on with pogo-pin/bed-of-nails fixtures, toggle clamps, pneumatics and ESD-safe materials (FR4, Delrin, Bakelite, aluminium).
• Working knowledge of MSA/GR&R and basic electrical testing.
• Experience managing fabrication vendors (machining, laser cutting, 3D printing).

Responsibilities

• Own the design, build and lifecycle of mechanical jigs across product lines.
• Develop FCT bed-of-nails fixtures and PDI jigs for end-of-line verification.
• Ensure jig quality, repeatability and acceptance criteria; perform GR&R/MSA.
• Provide DFT/DFM inputs to hardware and mechanical teams in NPI.
• Manage BOMs, drawings, vendor fabrication, installation and SOPs.
• Maintain jig documentation and revision control; cut test cycle time.

Role Summary

Own the design, build and lifecycle of all mechanical, functional test (FCT) and pre-dispatch inspection (PDI) jigs across our product lines. You are accountable for making sure every jig produces accurate, repeatable results on the production line.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop mechanical jigs for assembly, screwing, potting, alignment and handling.
• Design pogo-pin based FCT fixtures (bed-of-nails): probe selection, PCB test-point mapping, guide plates, actuation (manual or pneumatic) and interface to test hardware.
• Develop PDI jigs for end-of-line verification of finished products.
• Own jig quality and repeatability: run GR&R/MSA, validate jigs before release, and set acceptance criteria.
• Give DFT/DFM inputs to hardware and mechanical teams early in NPI, covering test-point access, tolerances and fixturing features.
• Manage the full jig lifecycle: BOM, drawings, vendor fabrication, installation, operator SOPs, preventive maintenance and pogo-pin wear tracking.
• Work with hardware, firmware, test and production teams to cut test cycle time and false failures
• Maintain jig documentation and revision control

Requirements

• B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical or Mechatronics.
• 3–6 years designing mechanical and electrical products
• Strong in SolidWorks, GD&T and tolerance stack-up.
• Hands-on with pogo-pin/bed-of-nails fixtures, toggle clamps, pneumatics and ESD-safe materials (FR4, Delrin, Bakelite, aluminium).
