We are seeking a skilled and detail-oriented Design Engineer with 3–6 years of experience in mechanical design, particularly in sheet metal design and switchgear applications. The ideal candidate will have strong hands-on expertise in Creo, a solid understanding of manufacturing processes, and the ability to develop accurate, production-ready designs. You will be responsible for designing, modifying, and optimizing components and assemblies while working closely with engineering, manufacturing, and other cross-functional teams.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities

- Create, develop, and modify detailed 3D models, assemblies, and 2D manufacturing drawings using Creo.
- Design and develop sheet metal components and assemblies, including enclosures, brackets, panels, covers, supports, and other fabricated parts.
- Work on mechanical designs for switchgear and electrical equipment, ensuring designs meet functional, dimensional, and manufacturing requirements.
- Prepare detailed engineering drawings with appropriate dimensions, tolerances, GD&T;, material specifications, and manufacturing information.
- Convert design concepts and engineering requirements into practical and cost-effective mechanical solutions.
- Perform design calculations and engineering evaluations wherever required to validate component strength, fit, functionality, and manufacturability.
- Develop and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs), engineering documentation, and design specifications.
- Collaborate with manufacturing, production, electrical engineering, quality, procurement, and suppliers to resolve design and production-related issues.
- Review existing designs and identify opportunities for cost reduction, standardization, performance improvement, and ease of manufacturing.
- Incorporate engineering changes and customer or project requirements into existing product designs.




- Conduct design reviews and ensure designs comply with applicable engineering standards, safety requirements, and company processes.
- Support prototype development, testing, validation, and troubleshooting of mechanical components and assemblies.
- Coordinate with vendors and fabrication teams to ensure components are manufactured according to approved drawings and specifications.
- Maintain proper revision control and ensure all engineering drawings and design documentation are accurate and up to date.

Must-Have Skills
- Robust hands-on experience with Creo for 3D modeling, assemblies, and 2D drafting.
- Proven experience in sheet metal design, including bend allowances, flat patterns, bend reliefs, forming operations, and fabrication considerations.
- Practical experience designing components and assemblies for switchgear and electrical equipment.
- Good understanding of mechanical design principles, manufacturing processes, materials, tolerances, and GD&T.;
- Ability to interpret engineering drawings and convert functional requirements into manufacturable designs.
- Strong knowledge of fabrication processes such as laser cutting, punching, bending, welding, and related sheet metal manufacturing techniques.
- Experience with BOM creation, engineering documentation, and design change management.
- Strong problem-solving and analytical skills with attention to detail.
- Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and external vendors.

Education & Experience
- Bachelor’s degree or Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, Production Engineering, or a related discipline.
- 3–6 years of relevant experience in mechanical/product design.
- Experience in switchgear, electrical panels, industrial equipment, or similar engineering products will be highly relevant.

Good-to-Have Skills
- Experience with electrical enclosure and panel design.
- Knowledge of DFM/DFA principles.
- Familiarity with ERP/PDM/PLM systems.
- Exposure to prototype development and product testing.
- Understanding of relevant industry standards for electrical equipment and enclosures.
