Job description

Jora Malaysia will close on 9th September 2026. Thank you for being with us, we are cheering you on as you continue your career journey.

We're looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer to join our R&D function and take ownership of product development — from first concept sketch to certified, production-ready design. This isn't a routine drafting role: you'll be at the center of how our products evolve, working on real engineering problems that shape what gets manufactured, tested, and shipped to EPC and industrial customers globally.

Job Responsibilities

Lead R&D initiatives to design and develop new products and product variants using 3D CAD (SolidWorks) — from concept through to production-ready drawings with proper tolerancing and revision control

Research materials, manufacturing methods, and industry standards (e.g. NEMA VE1, IEC 61537) to push product performance, strength-to-weight ratio, and cost-efficiency forward

Translate customer and market requirements into innovative, manufacturable engineering solutions

Design and build testing jigs, fixtures, and validation setups to physically prove out new designs

Prepare and maintain detailed engineering, fabrication, and assembly drawings, along with technical documentation (installation guides, load rating datasheets, product specs)

Drive continuous improvement of existing products for manufacturability, performance, and quality

Benchmark competitor products and emerging designs to identify opportunities for differentiation

Provide technical support to Production, Sales, and Customers during design, fabrication, and installation

Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure new designs move smoothly from prototype to full production

Contribute ideas and lead initiatives as part of the company's broader innovation and engineering roadmap

Job Requirements

Genuine curiosity for engineering — someone who enjoys prototyping, testing, and iterating, not just drafting to spec

Proficiency in at least one major CAD software (SolidWorks preferred)

Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to think independently and propose practical, tested solutions

Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related technical field

Hands‑on understanding of fabrication processes (sheet metal, welding, machining) is a strong advantage

Positive, proactive “can-do” attitude with a willingness to experiment and learn from failure
