We are looking for an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer with strong expertise in 3D CAD modelling, mechanical product development, GD&T and Design for Manufacturing (DFM/DFA). The candidate will be responsible for developing production-ready mechanical designs, optimizing product performance and supporting end-to-end product development and manufacturing.
Key Responsibilities
- Conceptualize, design and develop mechanical components, assemblies and complete products for robotics, drones, battery packs, electronic enclosures, moulds, jigs, fixtures and other engineering applications.
- Create parametric 3D models, complex assemblies and detailed 2D engineering drawings using Fusion 360 or SolidWorks.
- Apply GD&T (ASME Y14.5), dimensional tolerancing and tolerance stack‑up analysis to ensure design accuracy and assembly compatibility.
- Implement DFM/DFA principles to optimize product design for manufacturability, assembly, material utilization, cost and performance.
- Prepare BOMs, assembly drawings, manufacturing drawings, DXF files, CNC cutting profiles, flat patterns and nesting layouts.
- Ensure designs are compatible with manufacturing processes such as 3D printing, CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, welding, casting and moulding.
- Coordinate with hardware, electrical, production and manufacturing teams for prototype development, design validation, troubleshooting and engineering modifications.
- Perform material selection, component sizing and basic mechanical calculations to ensure product strength, reliability and functionality.
Required Qualifications & Skills
- Minimum 3 years of hands‑on experience in mechanical product design and CAD‑based engineering.
- Proficiency in Autodesk Fusion 360 or SolidWorks, including part modelling, assembly modelling, sheet metal and engineering drawings.
- Strong knowledge of GD&T, ASME Y14.5, tolerance stack‑up and DFM/DFA principles.
- Practical understanding of manufacturing processes, materials, fasteners, fits and mechanical assembly.
- Experience in BOM preparation, engineering documentation and manufacturing‑ready drawings.
- Knowledge of CNC nesting, DXF generation and 3D printing workflows.
- Proficiency in MS Office with strong analytical, problem‑solving and communication skills.
Preferred Skills
- Experience in robotics, UAVs/drones, battery systems or electronic product development.
- Knowledge of FEA, structural analysis and design validation.
- Experience in prototyping, vendor coordination and production support.
