Roles & Responsibilities

- Design and develop mechanical components, assemblies and complete products from concept to production.

- Create detailed 3D CAD models, assemblies, engineering drawings and manufacturing drawings.

- Take ownership of the complete product development cycle concept design prototype testing refinement production.

- Design products considering strength, weight, functionality, manufacturability, assembly and cost.

- Identify suitable materials, components and manufacturing processes for different product requirements.

- Search, identify and evaluate new vendors/manufacturers based on technical and commercial requirements.

- Proactively follow up with vendors and ensure that fabrication, machining, prototyping and other assigned work is completed on time.

- Inspect fabricated parts and prototypes for dimensional and functional compliance.

- Troubleshoot design, fabrication and assembly issues and implement necessary design changes.

- Build and test prototypes and incorporate feedback into subsequent design iterations.

- Coordinate closely with electronics, embedded and software teams for mechanical-electronic integration.

- Prepare BOMs, drawings, specifications and technical documentation.

- Support product assembly, testing and field-level troubleshooting whenever required.

- Continuously improve existing products through design optimisation, weight reduction, reliability improvement and cost reduction.

- Take ownership of assigned projects and ensure timely completion with minimal supervision.

- Maintain strong communication with internal teams, vendors and manufacturing partners.

Preferred Candidate Profile
