Job Purpose

We are looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer to support the design and development of our Electro-Hydraulic Tri-Lift product. The candidate will be primarily responsible for mechanical product design, mechanism development, structural design, 3D modelling, detailed drawings, prototyping and design validation. The ideal candidate should have strong hands‑on experience in SolidWorks, good knowledge of Fusion 360, and the ability to convert mechanical concepts into practical, manufacture products. Experience in hydraulic lifting equipment, electro-hydraulic systems, material handling equipment or similar machinery will be an added advantage.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop mechanical components and assemblies for the Electro-Hydraulic Tri-Lift.
• Create and modify 3D models, assemblies and mechanical layouts using SolidWorks.
• Use Fusion 360 for product development, modelling and design modifications as required.
• Develop mechanical mechanisms involving: Lifting arms, Linkages, Pivot mechanisms, Pins and bushes, Shafts, Brackets, Frames, Platforms, Supports, mounting arrangements
• Design structural and load‑bearing components considering strength, stability, safety and durability.
• Perform basic load, force, torque and mechanism calculations.
• Select appropriate materials, fasteners, bearings, bushes, shafts and other mechanical components.
• Prepare detailed 2D manufacturing drawings, fabrication drawings, BOMs and assembly drawings.
• Apply appropriate dimensions, tolerances, fits and GD&T wherever required.
• Ensure designs are suitable for fabrication, welding, machining, assembly and maintenance.
• Work closely with production and fabrication teams during prototype manufacturing and assembly.
• Identify and resolve design issues related to interference, clearance, movement, strength and manufacturability.
• Support prototype testing and incorporate improvements based on testing and field feedback.
• Modify existing designs to improve strength, weight, cost, reliability and ease of manufacturing.
• Maintain engineering drawings, 3D models, BOMs and revision records.
• Coordinate with Electrical, Hydraulic, Production, Purchase and Service teams during product development.
