Job description

Job Title Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

Location Vadodara, Gujarat, India

Experience 2 - 3+ years

Role Summary We are looking for an experienced mechanical design engineer to lead the design, development and production of mechanical systems and components—from concept to production. This role involves system‑level thinking, hands‑on CAD modelling, analysis and manufacturing integration, mentoring junior engineers, and collaborating across hardware, manufacturing, quality & supply‑chain teams.

Responsibilities

• Lead conceptual, detailed and assembly mechanical design of products/components, including CAD modelling and drawing generation (2D/3D) for production.
• Define and select materials, manufacturing processes (machining, casting, sheet‑metal, injection moulding, forging, welded fabrications) and ensure designs are cost‑effective and manufacturable.
• Perform engineering calculations and simulations: structural, thermal, tolerance stack‑up, GD&T, FEA or equivalent to validate design robustness.
• Create and manage Bills of Materials (BOMs), component specifications, vendor drawings, and documentation for New Product Development (NPD) or sustainment projects.
• Engage in the product development lifecycle: concept → embodiment → detail → prototyping → testing → manufacturing handover → field support.
• Review and approve design changes, participate in design reviews, ensure compliance with applicable standards/regulations (industry specific).
• Collaborate closely with cross‑functional teams: manufacturing/operations, sourcing, quality, supply chain, test/validation to ensure design intent is maintained.
• Continuously monitor new technologies, manufacturing innovations and material/process trends, and suggest improvements.
• Coordinate with vendors and clients.

Required Qualifications & Skills

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related discipline.
• 2 - 3+ years of relevant mechanical design experience (depending on level) in product/industrial design, preferably in an OEM or manufacturing environment.
• Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Creo, AutoCAD) for 3D modelling and drawing creation.
• Strong understanding of GD&T (geometric dimensioning & tolerancing), tolerance stack‑up, material selection, manufacturing processes and design for manufacturability.
• Experience with mechanical analyses (structural, thermal, FEA) and simulation tools is a plus.
• Excellent problem‑solving, analytical thinking and attention to detail.
• Good communication and collaboration skills; ability to work cross‑functionally and manage multiple deliverables.
• Self‑driven, able to take ownership and lead projects with minimal supervision.

Nice‑to‑Have

• Experience in specific domain relevant to your business (e.g., automotive, aerospace, medical devices, consumer electronics, heavy machinery).
• Knowledge of embedded systems integration, mechatronics, actuators/sensors interfaces if relevant.
• Exposure to PLM/PDM systems.
• Experience with rapid prototyping, tooling development, vendor management.
• Familiarity with regulatory/industry standards (ISO, ASTM, etc.).
• Prior experience mentoring or leading a small design team.

Why Join Us?

• Opportunity to own and drive mechanical design from concept to production in a dynamic environment.
• Work with cross‑discipline teams and see your designs turn into real products.
• Exposure to latest CAD/CAE tools, manufacturing technologies and best practices.
