Mechanical Design Engineer

Unbox Robotics; Pune District; On-site; INR 600,000 - 900,000; Full time

Job summary

Unbox Robotics in Pune is seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer to design robots and peripheral structures across the full product range, from POC through production. You will perform aggregate calculations, create CAD models in Solid Edge, and apply GD&T with tolerance analysis to ensure robust designs.

Responsibilities include structural analysis and multibody dynamics with Ansys/Adams, developing tests, maintaining BoMs and SOPs, and collaborating with vendors and cross-functional teams to

Qualifications

• Strong capability in aggregate calculations and first-principles problem-solving on complex mechanical challenges.
• Expertise in CAD, preferably Solid Edge, producing accurate, high-quality models efficiently.
• Deep knowledge of GD&T and proficiency in tolerance stack-up analysis.
• Hands-on structural analysis and multibody dynamics experience with tools such as Ansys and Adams.
• Strong working knowledge of manufacturing processes such as machining, sheet metal, casting, and welding across multiple materials, and their impact on design decisions.
• Hands-on experience designing primary structures, mechanisms, jigs, and fixtures.
• Working knowledge of solid mechanics, load cases, and failure mechanisms.
• Proven experience producing detailed documentation (BoMs, SOPs, test reports, change records).
• Familiarity with Design Thinking principles for ideation, problem-solving, and product design.
• Strong written and verbal communication and the ability to coordinate across multiple stakeholder teams.

Responsibilities

• Design robots and peripheral structures across the full product range, from POC through production and sustaining phases, in alignment with cross-functional engineering teams.
• Perform aggregate calculations and select appropriate components and materials.
• Create accurate CAD part and assembly models and drawings, including tolerance stack-up analysis where needed.
• Conduct structural analysis and multibody dynamics simulations to validate designs against performance, safety, and reliability targets; define correct FEA inputs and interpret results to guide design decisions.
• Develop test cases, set up test environments, execute tests, and prepare detailed test reports.
• Based on test outcomes, identify improvement areas, propose design modifications, and plan iterations or further testing until requirements are met.
• Communicate design intent to vendors using 3D CAD, 2D drawings, GD&T, and engineering specifications, applying DFM and DFA principles.
• Work with vendors and suppliers to develop and scale components to specification.
• Collaborate with embedded, controls, and software teams for seamless integration, and with operations teams on sourcing, QC, assembly, and delivery.
• Develop and maintain BoMs, SOPs, release notes, change records, and validation reports.
• Support root-cause analysis and corrective actions for mechanical issues across prototypes, production, and field returns.
