• Develop innovative design concepts using Creo, SolidWorks, or similar 3D CAD software.


• Create multiple design concepts and perform trade‑off studies to determine the best solution based on performance, cost, manufacturability, and project requirements.


• Apply Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles throughout the product development process.


• Design and develop sheet metal components and assemblies.


• Plan and manage engineering projects, including scope, schedules, costs, milestones, and completion dates.


• Develop physical prototypes to evaluate design feasibility and performance.


• Create and execute test plans and use results to validate and improve product designs.


• Work closely with manufacturing, engineering, operations, and other cross‑functional teams to move projects from concept through production.


• Create detailed part drawings, material BOMs, and Engineering Change Notices (ECNs).


• Support product improvements, engineering changes, and cost‑reduction initiatives.


• Research unfamiliar technical challenges and actively develop new knowledge to solve complex engineering problems.


• Provide hands‑on engineering support during prototyping, testing, and product launch.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (BSME).


• 2–5 years of experience in new product development engineering.


• Minimum 2 years of experience with Creo or similar 3D modeling/CAD software.


• Strong working knowledge of:


• Design for Manufacturability (DFM)


• Design for Assembly (DFA)


• Product development and concept testing


• Hands‑on prototyping experience.


• Strong creative, analytical, and technical problem‑solving skills.


• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with cross‑functional teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with control panel or switchboard design.


• Experience with bus bar design.


• Understanding of electrical schematics.


• Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (MSME).


• Experience taking products through the full development cycle from concept → design → prototype → testing → production.
