ABOUT BUYMYEV buymyEV is an electric two-wheeler (2W) mobility company building battery-electric commuter scooters (L1/L2 category).

We are in an active build phase across product development, manufacturing, R&D; infrastructure and org scaling, with a pipeline of 3–4 vehicle models targeting an annual production of 50,000–100,000 units and global expansion plans over the next 2–3 years.

ROLE SUMMARY

We are looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer with strong hands-on expertise in plastic component design to own the design, development and industrialization of plastic and composite parts for our electric scooter platforms — including body panels, fascia, under-body components, storage/utility parts, and functional brackets/housings. The role sits at the intersection of design, DFM/DFA, tooling and supplier development, and is critical to hitting cost, quality and program timelines across multiple vehicle programs.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

- Design and develop injection-molded plastic components (body panels, fascia, mudguards, under-cowl, glove box,

storage compartments, battery/controller housings, brackets) for 2W EV platforms using CAD tools

(Creo/CATIA/SolidWorks/NX).

- Own part-level design from concept through PPAP — concept sketches, surfacing, tolerance stack-up, DFM/DFA,

mold-flow analysis inputs, and design validation.

- Select appropriate resins/grades (PP, ABS, PP-TD/GF, PC-ABS, PA-GF, TPE/TPU) based on functional, aesthetic,

UV/weathering and cost requirements.

- Work closely with tool designers and tooling vendors on mold design reviews,



gate/runner/ejection strategy, parting lines, draft angles, and shrinkage compensation.
- Drive design for snap-fits, ribs, bosses, living hinges and assembly features to eliminate fasteners and reduce assembly time/cost.
- Coordinate mold trials, first-article inspection, and resolve warpage, sink marks, flow lines, weld lines and other molding defects with vendors.
- Collaborate with Industrial Design, Styling, Electrical, Body-in-White and Testing teams to ensure fit, finish, and functional integration on the full vehicle.
- Support GD&T;, tolerance analysis and mating-part studies to ensure panel gaps, flushness and NVH targets are met.
- Plan and review validation testing — UV/weathering, thermal cycling, vibration, impact, and material property testing

— with test labs.

- Manage BOM cost, part weight and material cost targets; identify value-engineering opportunities across programs.
- Own supplier/vendor technical interactions for plastic parts — RFQs, design reviews, tooling timelines and PPAP sign-

off.

- Maintain design documentation, drawings, ECNs and part release records in line with the product development / stage-

gate process.

Requirements





REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE

- B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical, Automobile, Production, Plastics or Polymer Engineering (M.Tech is a plus).
- 3–8 years of experience in mechanical design of plastic components, ideally within automotive, two-wheeler, or consumer durables/EV OEMs or their Tier-1 suppliers.
- Demonstrated experience designing injection-molded exterior and interior plastic parts through to mass production

(multiple part/program launches).

- Strong working knowledge of plastic materials, additives, and their behavior under thermal, UV and mechanical loading.
- Hands-on proficiency in 3D CAD (Creo/CATIA/SolidWorks/NX) and 2D drafting/GD&T; as per ASME Y14.5.
- Practical exposure to mold design principles, mold-flow analysis (Moldflow or similar) and tooling processes.
- Experience working directly with tooling vendors and molders, including mold trials and defect troubleshooting.
- Familiarity with a formal stage-gate/PDP (product development process) and APQP/PPAP documentation.
- Positive understanding of vehicle-level integration — panel fits, gaps, NVH and durability considerations.

PREFERRED / GOOD TO HAVE

- Prior experience specifically on electric two-wheelers or automotive body panels.
- Exposure to FEA basics for plastic part structural checks.
- Knowledge of sustainable/recycled plastic materials and their application in mobility products.
- Experience working in a quick-paced startup or current-program environment with tight timelines.
