Job description

We are seeking a highly skilled and innovativeSeniorMechanical Design Engineer with a minimumof 4 years of experienceto join our dynamic Research & Development team. The ideal candidate will have a comprehensive background in mechanical design and engineering principles, with a demonstrated ability to develop and implement cutting-edge products and solutions. The role involves the end-to-end design process, from initial concept through to production, including the prototyping and testing of mechanical components and systems to meet project requirements and company standards.

Responsibilities :

• Generate innovative mechanical designs that meet project specifications and performance criteria. Employ CAD software (SolidWorks, Solidedge, Fusion 360 ) to create detailed 3D models and engineering drawings using ASME Y14.5 standard.
• Conduct brainstorming sessions and design reviews to develop creative solutions tocomplex mechanical challenges.
• Perform feasibility studies to evaluate the technical and economic viability of new productideas. Conduct risk assessments and identify potential challenges and mitigationstrategies.
• Develop product specifications and requirements based on market research andstakeholder inputs. Create detailed product requirement documents and technicalspecifications that guide the design and development process.
• Create and maintain BOMs associated with engineering drawings.
• Develop detailed designs of mechanical components and assemblies. Ensure that designs are optimized for manufacturability, assembly, and fabrication. Select appropriate materials and finishes for components based on their functional requirements.
• Ensure that designs are optimized for manufacturability, assembly, and cost efficiency.
• Work closely with manufacturing teams to develop production processes and identifyopportunities for automation and cost reduction.
• Create tolerance analyses and conduct failure mode and effects analyses (FMEA) toensure robustness.
• Build physical prototypes using various techniques, such as CNC machining, 3D printing,and traditional fabrication methods. Oversee the fabrication process, ensuring prototypesare built to specification. Work with suppliers and in-house fabrication teams to sourceand manufacture prototype components.
• Conduct thorough testing of prototypes to validate design concepts. Use analytical tools and techniques (e.g. FEA) to simulate operating conditions and predict performance.Design and execute test plans, including environmental, durability, and performancetesting. Document test procedures and results, and perform root cause analysis on any
  failures.
• Refine designs based on test feedback and performance data. Implement changes into improve functionality, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. Maintain detailed records ofdesign iterations and changes made during the prototyping phase.
• Work on the integration of mechanical systems with electrical, software, and othersubsystems. Ensure cohesive functioning of the complete system by collaborating closelywith interdisciplinary teams. Develop system-level design documentation, includingschematics, flowcharts. Ensure that mechanical designs are compatible with electronic
  and software components..
• Identify opportunities for design improvements, including performance enhancements, weight reduction, and cost savings.
• Develop detailed project plans, including timelines, resource allocation, and milestones.Track project progress and adjust plans as necessary to ensure timely delivery.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to prepare for product launch. Develop andexecute product launch plans, including production ramp-up, quality control, and supplychain coordination. Provide technical support during the initial production phase toaddress any issues that arise.
• Prepare comprehensive technical documentation, including detailed design reports,engineering specifications etc. Maintain accurate records of design iterations,modifications, and test results.
• Implement best practices in design processes and workflows. Contribute to thedevelopment and refinement of internal design standards and guidelines.
• Stay current with the latest advancements in mechanical engineering and related fields.Evaluate new tools, technologies, and methodologies for potential adoption.

Skills Required :

• Knowledge of Mechanical design, with a focus on theory and design aspects.
• Experience with 3D CAD software, such as SolidWorks ,Solid Edge, or Fusion 360.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
