Position: RE3/SRE1 – Design/System Engineer Location: Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India (On-site) EXP: 6-8 Years or 8-12 Years Job Overview: The engineer collaborates with crossfunctional teams, customers, vendors, machinists, and global R&D; teams to develop differentiated solutions on/in glass systems such as railings, partitions, shower systems, windows, shutters, and integrated hardware. This role demands strong systems engineering expertise, and the ability to conceptualize, validate, and deploy innovative architectures and components. Key Responsibilities: 1. Conceptualization, Research & Design Independently perform most technical tasks, leading the design and development of systemlevel solutions for glass applications. Create advanced 3D models, detailed engineering drawings, and assemblies using SolidWorks. Apply scientific research methods, analytical reasoning, and design of scientifically testable hypotheses for new design concepts. Develop novel design architectures integrating hardware (hinges, handles) and optional electronics into glassbased systems. Propose alternate methods, tools, and strategies for complex technical challenges. 2. Analysis, Optimization & Feasibility Conduct FMEA and other analyses to assess and mitigate design risks. Perform basic structural analysis considering permanent loads, external forces, and systemlevel performance. Make substantial contributions to determining feasibility, viability, and strategic alignment of goals and objectives. Evaluate findings using strong analytical capabilities and literaturebacked research. 3. Prototyping, Experimentation & Validation Coordinate prototype fabrication and execute structured testing plans with crossfunctional teams. Lead experimental design and provide consultation on scientific experimentation methodology. Iterate quickly based on test results, feedback, and design evolution needs. Initiate and drive exploratory or highrisk, highreward R&D; projects in parallel. 4. Customer,



Vendor & Stakeholder Collaboration Develop strong customer intimacy through solutiondriven engagement, regular customer visits, and proactive problem solving. Capture customer/market needs and translate them into actionable design and research directions. Build and maintain a network of peers, collaborators, and vendors for expanding technical capabilities. Influence customer decisions through technical expertise and relationshipbuilding. 5. Documentation, Reporting & Governance Maintain precise documentation of design specifications, research findings, experiments, and validation results. Prepare progress reports, conduct team meetings, and contribute to proposal creation and management presentations. Ensure compliance with company guidelines, quality frameworks, safety norms, and regulatory standards. 6. Innovation, IP Generation & Entrepreneurship Actively contribute to IP creation by differentiating inventions and generating protectable concepts. Exhibit entrepreneurial mindset through ownership, experimentation, and adapting to evolving business scenarios. Identify new research and design opportunities, anticipating future market and technology shifts. Required Skills & Knowledge: Competencies: Solid command of fundamental engineering and domain-specific design principles. Proficiency in SolidWorks and familiarity with manufacturing processes, materials, and systemlevel integration. Ability to conduct literature reviews, understand scientific papers, and apply research strategies. Ability to integrate analytical rigor with design practicality. Experience with FMEA, structural analysis, and design optimization methods. Experience & Qualification: M.Tech in Mechanical/Systems/Design Engineering with 8–10 years relevant experience. Demonstrated experience in design–analysis–prototype loop, customerinteraction, and independent project ownership. Demonstrated experience in system development &/or leading product launches. Travel Requirement: Travel up to 20–30% for customer interactions, testing, vendor visits, and factory trials.
