At Sickle Innovations, we build practical, scalable farm machinery that solves real problems in Indian agriculture. Our focus is easy: reduce labor dependency, improve efficiency, and make mechanization accessible.
We're looking for a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer who can take complete ownership of product development—from concept to field deployment—and lead a small engineering team to build robust, production-ready machines.
What You'll Do
• Lead the design and development of innovative farm machinery and automation systems.
• Own products from concept → design → prototype → field validation → production.
• Lead and mentor a team of 2–3 design engineers, ensuring timely execution and technical excellence.
• Collaborate closely with production, fabrication teams, vendors, and field-testing teams.
• Develop cost-effective, rugged, and manufacturable designs suitable for Indian operating conditions.
• Continuously improve existing products based on customer and field feedback.
• Support design validation,
design reviews, documentation, and production ramp-up.
What Actually Matters
• 5–8 years of experience in mechanical design and product development.
• Preferred experience in Automation Equipment and Material Handling Systems.
• Proven experience in developing physical products—not just CAD modeling.
• Experience leading and mentoring a 2–3 member engineering/design team.
• Strong fundamentals in:
• Mechanical Design
• Power Transmission Systems
• Fabrication & Manufacturing
• Design for Manufacturing (DFM)
• Ability to make sound engineering decisions with limited information and execute quickly.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, hands-on, resource-constrained environment.
Good to Have
• Experience in Agricultural Machinery or Food Processing Equipment.
• Exposure to machine development, transmission drive systems, sheet metal, plastics, and fabricated structures.
• Good underst
