Job description

Department: R&D Design – Radiology

Reports To: Senior Manager

Job Purpose:

To drive product design, development, and continuous improvement for radiology and medical imaging systems such as X-Ray, C-Arm, Digital Radiography (DR), CT systems, and related accessories. The role involves mechanical, electrical, and electronic design, system integration, prototyping, and design validation to ensure product quality, safety, reliability, manufacturability, and compliance with applicable medical device standards.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Product Design & Development

• Design and develop components, assemblies, and subsystems for X-Ray, C-Arm, DR, CT systems, and related accessories.
• Work on mechanical, electrical, and electronic design, ensuring functional reliability, safety, and manufacturability.
• Develop 3D CAD models, 2D engineering drawings, electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and design documentation, as applicable.
• Support the integration of mechanical assemblies, electrical circuits, electronic components, sensors, motors, actuators, power supplies, and control systems.
• Prepare and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs), component specifications, and engineering drawings.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to convert design concepts into production-ready solutions.

2. Product Improvement & Quality Enhancement

• Analyse production and field feedback to drive design improvements in product quality, reliability, performance, and serviceability.
• Implement value engineering, component standardization, and cost optimization initiatives without compromising quality or safety.
• Conduct root cause analysis of mechanical, electrical, and electronic failures and support corrective design actions.
• Identify component compatibility, integration, and design-related issues and recommend appropriate solutions.
• Support design verification and validation in coordination with Quality and Testing teams.

3. Prototyping & Testing

• Participate in prototype fabrication, assembly, electrical wiring, subsystem integration, and functional testing.
• Support mechanical fitment checks, electrical continuity testing, and electronic subsystem verification.
• Coordinate with testing teams for performance validation and applicable safety and regulatory testing, including AERB, BIS, and IEC 60601 requirements.
• Assist in troubleshooting electrical, electronic, and electromechanical issues during prototype development and testing.
• Document and review test results to verify design performance against specified requirements.
• Follow established safety procedures while working with high-voltage circuits and X-Ray equipment.

4. Documentation & Compliance

• Prepare and maintain design documentation, BOMs, engineering drawings, electrical schematics, technical specifications, and Engineering Change Notices (ECNs).
• Ensure design activities follow applicable ISO 13485 quality management requirements and relevant IEC 60601 and BIS standards.
• Support design reviews, risk assessment, verification, validation, and technical documentation activities.
• Maintain traceability of design inputs, outputs, modifications, and test records.
• Coordinate with Quality and Regulatory teams to support technical documentation and product certification requirements.
• Work closely with R&D, Production, Quality, Testing, Procurement, and Service teams to resolve technical challenges and improve manufacturability.
• Coordinate with vendors and suppliers for technical specifications, component selection, drawings, samples, and engineering clarifications.
• Provide engineering support during prototype builds, product trials, installation, and field evaluations, as required.
• Support the Regulatory and Documentation teams in preparing technical dossiers and product files for certification.
• Contribute to New Product Development (NPD), New Product Introduction (NPI), and continuous product improvement initiatives.

Qualifications and Experience:

• B.E. / B.Tech / Diploma in Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, Electronics & Communication, Mechatronics, or a relevant engineering discipline.
• 1–3 years of experience in product design, R&D, mechanical design, electrical design, electronics development, or electromechanical product integration.
• Freshers with strong engineering fundamentals, relevant academic projects, and practical design or prototyping skills may also be considered.
• Proficiency in relevant design tools such as SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Creo, or equivalent CAD software.
• Basic understanding of electrical circuits, electronic components, wiring diagrams, power supplies, sensors, and electromechanical systems, as relevant to the assigned discipline.
• Knowledge of mechanical assemblies, engineering drawings, material selection, manufacturing processes, and component integration.
• Familiarity with ISO 13485, IEC 60601, BIS standards, and AERB requirements will be an added advantage.
• Experience in medical devices, radiology equipment, or medical imaging systems will be preferred.

Skills and Competencies:
