Job Description
Job Description – Mechanical Engineer
Role Overview
Lead the end-to-end design and development of electromechanical products especially Valve actuators, from requirements capture through prototyping, validation, and production release. Deliver innovative, cost-effective, and manufacturable solutions that meet stringent performance, safety, and compliance standards.
Key Responsibilities
Own
full design lifecycle
: requirements analysis, concept generation, CAD modelling, simulation, prototyping, testing, and release.
Ability to handle
Product improvement requests and BAU tasks
for Product range maintenance.
Integrate
mechanical, electrical, and control systems
into robust, optimised designs.
Conduct
tolerance stack-ups
, GD&T;, and design for manufacturability (DFM) for casting, injection moulding, machining, and sheet metal.
Apply
finite element analysis
simulation (atleast linear static) to validate designs prior to prototyping.
Design and specify
machine elements
(springs, gears, bearings) and integrate off-the-shelf components.
Create and execute
verification & validation
plans, define test cases, and set up bespoke test rigs for performance evaluation.
Ensure compliance with
DFMEA
, industry standards, and relevant certifications.
Collaborate cross-functionally with electronics, software, manufacturing, and quality teams to deliver fit-for-purpose solutions.
Qualifications
Education
: B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical or Mechatronics Engineering (regular).
Experience
:



Minimum 7–8 years in mechanical/electromechanical product design, preferably in industrial or automation sectors.
Core Technical Skills
CAD & Modelling
: Solid Edge (preferred), Creo, or SolidWorks; advanced assembly modelling; parametric design.
Simulation
: FEA (linear static), mechanism simulation, VB scripting for automation.
Design Practices
: GD&T;, Tolerance stack-up analysis, DFM/DFA, material selection, sealing and fastening systems.
Design Processes:
Knowledge on DFSS tools like FMEA, Pugh Matrix, QFD, Kano analysis, benchmarking.
Manufacturing knowledge:
Understanding on Basics of Casting, Plastic injection moulding, Fabrication and machining.
Product Knowledge: -
Electric actuators, Fluid power actuators and Gearboxes in field of flow control is added advantage.
Systems Knowledge
: Electromechanical integration, hydraulic/pneumatic systems, Analog/digital device interfacing.
Testing & Validation
: Bespoke Test equipment design, instrumentation & data acquisition device selection, root cause analysis.
Documentation
: Engineering drawings, BOM, compliance documentation, and release packages.
Soft Skills & Attributes
Strong
systems thinking
for multidisciplinary product design.
Proactive problem solver with
analytical rigour
and creativity.
Excellent technical communication and documentation skills.
Ownership-driven, deadline-focused, and adaptable in rapid-paced environments.
Collaborative team player with a continuous learning mindset.
