- Create 3D models, assemblies and detailed manufacturing drawings using SolidWorks .
- Design machine frames, brackets, shafts, fixtures, conveyors, feeding mechanisms, guards and moving systems.
- Prepare Bills of Materials containing the components required to build each machine.
- Select suitable bearings, motors, gearboxes, belts, pulleys, chains, sprockets, couplings, linear guides and pneumatic components.
- Perform basic calculations for load, speed,



torque, shaft size and component selection.
- Check assemblies for interference, movement and ease of manufacturing.
- Coordinate with fabricators, machine shops, component suppliers and automation vendors.
- Support prototype fabrication, assembly, installation and testing.
- Troubleshoot mechanical problems during prototype trials.
- Improve designs based on testing, operator feedback, safety, reliability, maintenance and cost.
- Maintain proper drawings, design revisions, component specifications and test records.
- Work closely with production, maintenance, electrical and automation teams.

Qualifications

Candidates should have either

- B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering, Production Engineering, Mechatronics or a related field, with approximately 2–6 years of relevant experience

- Ability to create parts, assemblies and detailed manufacturing drawings.
- Knowledge of machine design and standard mechanical components.
- Understanding of machining, welding, sheet-metal fabrication and mechanical assembly.
- Ability to take measurements from existing machines and create accurate CAD designs.
- Ability to prepare Bills of Materials and component specifications.
- Basic knowledge of bearings, shafts, couplings, motors, gearboxes, belts, chains and pneumatic systems.
- Strong problem-solving ability and attention to detail.
- Willingness to work on the production floor and participate in prototype testing.
- Ability to communicate clearly and work with different teams.

Preferred Experience Experience in any of the following areas will be an advantage:
- Special Purpose Machines, also known as SPMs
- Industrial automation
- Textile machinery
- Packaging machinery
- Conveyor and material-handling systems




- Pick-and-place mechanisms
- Pneumatic systems
- Product development
