JOB DESCRIPTION

Role Profile & Job Description

Position Title: Design Manager Department: Engineering / Product Design & Development Reports To: Head of Engineering / Director of Operations

Role Overview

The Design Manager is responsible for leading the design engineering function, overseeing end-to-end design operations from initial concept through production handoff. This role blends technical leadership, design validation, resource planning, and cross-functional coordination with manufacturing, quality, and project management teams to ensure deliverables meet functional, aesthetic, quality, and budgetary requirements.

Core Key Result Areas (KRAs) & Responsibilities

Design Leadership & Project Execution: Lead, mentor, and allocate work across the design engineering team to meet project milestones. Direct product design workflows: concept modeling, detailed 3D CAD modeling, 2D drafting, assembly generation, and Bill of Materials (BOM) creation. Establish and maintain standardized design libraries, revision control, and Product Data Management (PDM/PLM) protocols.

Design Validation & Compliance

Conduct thorough Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) reviews prior to tooling and fabrication release. Ensure engineering calculations, tolerance stack-up analyses, and simulations (FEA/stress analysis) comply with functional and safety standards. Verify that all technical documentation, engineering change orders (ECOs), and production drawings adhere to applicable industry standards (ISO, ASME, DIN).

Cross-Functional & Vendor Coordination

Collaborate closely with production, tooling, and fabrication units to resolve design-related issues on the shop floor. Coordinate with vendors, prototype developers, and component suppliers regarding material specifications, tooling feasibility, and sample approvals. Support the quality control team by establishing inspection benchmarks, critical-to-quality (CTQ) dimensions, and testing parameters.

Process Improvement & Team Development

Implement best practices in CAD automation, modeling standards, and digital workflow optimization. Drive continuous cost-reduction initiatives through value engineering and material optimization. Conduct periodic technical training and performance reviews for junior engineers and draftsmen.

Performance Indicators (KPIs)

• On-Time Release: Punctual delivery of design freezes, production drawings, and ECO approvals.
• First-Time-Right (FTR) Rate: Minimization of design revisions post-tooling or during pilot production.
• Cost & Weight Optimization: Measurable reductions in material usage or manufacturing cycle time via value engineering.
• Team Throughput: Effective task distribution and development of team capabilities.
