Responsibilities

• Understand top‑level system requirements and translate them into mechanical layout, interface and integration requirements for ground systems.
• Study vendor datasheets, CAD models and interface drawings for stabilized mounts, telescope payloads, enclosures, electronics cabinets etc.
• Study integration feasibility with respect to payload mass, centre of gravity, motion envelope, mounting interface, cable routing, maintenance access, stiffness, vibration isolation and environmental protection.
• Generate 3D CAD models and integrated assembly layouts of the complete system, including subsystem placement and envelope/interference checks.
• Prepare 2D manufacturing drawings, interface control drawings, assembly drawings, exploded views, BoM and fabrication packages for brackets, adapter plates, support frames and fixtures.
• Design and realize mechanical fixtures required for payload mounting, additional support, alignment, lifting, transport locking, cable support and maintenance access.
• Prepare the mechanical integration sequence, assembly procedure, inspection checklist, torque/fastener list, alignment method and test‑readiness checklist.
• Support hands‑on integration, fitment checks, issue resolution, as‑built updates and end‑to‑end mechanical closure with cross‑functional teams.
• Coordinate with vendors, fabrication suppliers, electrical/control engineers and system engineers to close mechanical interface and integration issues.

Required Qualification

• 1–3 years of academic/project/industry experience in mechanical design, CAD modelling, fabrication drawings or mechanical integration.
• B.Tech/B.E. in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
• Hands‑on proficiency in at least one 3D CAD tool such as SolidWorks, CATIA, Autodesk Inventor, or equivalent.
• Ability to generate 3D models, 2D fabrication drawings, assembly drawings and interface drawings.
• Basic understanding of machine design, fasteners, brackets, fixtures, tolerances, materials and manufacturing processes such as machining, sheet metal and fabrication.
• Basic ability to estimate payload envelope, centre of gravity, load path, stiffness requirements and mechanical clearances.
• Strong analytical, problem‑solving, documentation and hands‑on integration skills.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with mobile platforms, stabilized mounts, telescope mounts, antennas, rugged enclosures or outdoor mechanical systems.
• Exposure to vibration isolation, shock mounting, IP‑rated enclosures, sealing, cable glands, corrosion protection and marine/outdoor installations.
• Basic familiarity with FEA tools such as ANSYS or SolidWorks Simulation.
• Ability to prepare BoMs, vendor fabrication packages, assembly procedures, inspection checklists and as‑built documentation.

General Requirements

• Ability to work in a mission‑focused, operational environment.
• Ability to think critically and make independent decisions under guidance.
• Interpersonal skills to enable working in a diverse and dynamic team.
• Maintain a regular and predictable work schedule.
• Writing and delivering technical documents, drawings, integration plans and briefings.
