Job description

Job Description:

The Design Engineer (Tech Lead) is a hands-on individual contributor responsible for executing reverse engineering, design, analysis, prototyping, and validation activities. This role owns end-to-end delivery of engineering projects within scope, ensuring high-quality, timely completion in compliance with aerospace and regulatory standards. Work location Bangalore, India.

Key Responsibilities:

Engineering Execution

• Independently execute complete reverse engineering and FAA-PMA development projects, including input analysis, dimensional/material characterization, design development, prototyping, validation, and final release.
• Interpret technical specifications and define required engineering activities, deliverables, and documentation across all phases of development.
• Perform hands-on metrology and reverse engineering using tools such as calipers, gauges, VMM, and 3D scanning to establish dimensions, tolerances, and manufacturing processes.
• Define and execute tests to determine material properties and validate functional and performance requirements.

Design & Development

• Develop 3D CAD models and detailed manufacturing drawings, applying GD&T, DFM, tolerance stack-up analysis, and aerospace design principles (materials, loading, fatigue, corrosion).
• Prepare and manage engineering documentation including BOMs, specifications, ATPs, qualification plans, and test reports.
• Ensure designs meet customer, regulatory, and AS9100 quality requirements.

Project Ownership

• Plan, estimate, and manage personal deliverables to ensure timely completion of drawings, specifications, and documentation.
• Coordinate design reviews and approvals with relevant stakeholders.
• Drive sourcing activities including supplier interactions, RFQs, technical clarifications, and prototype procurement.

Validation & Manufacturing Support

• Lead verification and validation activities, including qualification and acceptance testing, ensuring compliance with design and regulatory requirements.
• Analyse test results, resolve non-conformances, and implement corrective actions to ensure product performance and reliability.
• Provide hands-on support for prototyping, manufacturing, and first article inspection (FAI) activities.
• Support NPD, OEM, and sustaining engineering efforts, including design improvements and issue resolution.

Change Management & Governance

• Create and manage ECN/DCN, update drawings and BOMs, and ensure proper release in PDM/Vault systems.
• Take ownership of technical decisions and drive issues to closure with minimal supervision.
• Ensure all deliverables are complete, compliant, and release ready.

Position Requirements:

Education

• B.E. / B. Tech in Mechanical Engineering

Experience

• 8–14 years of hands-on experience in mechanical component and system-level design

• Strong practical expertise in GD&T and Design for Manufacturing (DFM)
• Experience working with cross-functional teams and technical reviews.
• Aerospace or safety-critical design experience preferred.
• Proven ability to own technical decisions and execute independently.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills

Technical Skills

• Advanced proficiency in Autodesk Inventor (2024+) or equivalent CAD tools, PDM/Vault, and MS Office
• Strong understanding of metrology, manufacturing drawings, and validation processes (QTP/ATP)
• Basic exposure to simulation and mechanical analysis
• Good knowledge of materials, machining processes, plastics, and surface finishing

Core Competencies

• Self-driven, hands-on engineer with strong ownership mindset
• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines.
• Detail-oriented with a strong execution focus and systems thinking.
