Job description

Key Job Responsibilities

• Design & Modeling: Create 3D CAD solid models, assemblies, and detailed fabrication or layout drawings using software like SolidWorks, CREO, or AutoCAD.
• System Integration: Select and integrate mechanical parts such as motors, actuators, gear drives, pumps, and valves into complete hardware solutions.
• Analysis & Simulation: Perform structural, kinematic, dynamic, and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulations, alongside tolerance stack-up analyses.
• Prototyping & Testing: Build and test prototypes, validate design compliance against safety/performance standards, and troubleshoot manufacturing or assembly issues.
• DFM/DFA Optimization: Apply Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles to optimize production costs and quality.
• Documentation: Maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs), engineering change notices, and technical specifications.

Requirements

• Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or a closely related field.
• Experience: Generally ranges from 2 to 5+ years of hands- on experience in mechanical or automation design (though entry-level or assistant roles are occasionally available).
• Technical Skills: Proficiency in 3D CAD platforms (SolidWorks, CREO, Siemens NX).Knowledge of simulation and analysis tools (FEA, CFD basics).Familiarity with manufacturing processes (CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, injection molding, 3D printing).
• Industry Context: Experience in high-precision automation, semiconductor equipment (front-end or back-end), robotics, or medical devices is a strong advantage.
