• Other duties as assigned.

Minimum Job Requirements

• Bachelor of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline; All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) approved institution
• 6+ years of relevant mechanical engineering experience in product design and development.
• Experience developing component- and system-level test plans, test procedures, and test reports.
• Strong knowledge of design documentation, layout, prototype verification testing, and engineering calculations.
• Experience performing mechanical analysis, simulation, and thermal analysis.
• Proficiency in 3D CAD modeling tools such as Creo or SolidWorks.
• Experience creating, checking and approving engineering drawings, GD&T, and mechanical design fundamentals.
• Strong knowledge of common manufacturing processes such as sheet metal, castings, plastics, machining, and welding.

Preferred Job Requirements

• Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
• Experience with internal combustion engines, generators, or related engine-driven products.
• Ability to manage detail-oriented work with a high degree of accuracy while supporting multiple projects and priorities.
• Strong written, verbal, and presentation communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical information effectively to technical and non-technical audiences, including leadership.
• Experience with DFMEA, design reviews, and structured problem-solving methods.
• Familiarity with design for manufacturability (DFM) and design for assembly (DFA).
• Experience working with suppliers and cross-functional global teams.
• Experience with engineering change processes, BOM management, and drawing release.
• Demonstrated ability to apply engineering knowledge to improve products, processes, and technical solutions.
