Job Title: Senior Design Engineer

Company: EAC Engineers

Location: Sanand GIDC, Ahmedabad

Employment Type: Full-time

Role purpose

Lead the mechanical design and engineering of pressure vessels, shell-and-tube heat exchangers and related process equipment. Ensure designs are protected, compliant with applicable project requirements, practical to manufacture and delivered on time.

The role involves taking engineering ownership from enquiry review through detailed design, customer approval, fabrication support and final documentation.

Key responsibilities

1. Technical review and proposal support

- Review customer enquiries, datasheets, specifications and drawings to identify design requirements, exclusions and technical risks.
- Support Sales with preliminary sizing, material selection, estimated weights, technical offers and clarification responses.
- Identify missing information and resolve technical queries before detailed engineering begins.

2. Equipment design and calculations

- Prepare and review mechanical design calculations for pressure vessels and shell-and-tube heat exchangers.
- Apply relevant codes, standards and customer specifications, including ASME Section VIII and TEMA where applicable.
- Evaluate design conditions, corrosion allowances, materials, nozzle reinforcement, supports, lifting arrangements and applicable external loads.
- Coordinate thermal design requirements for heat exchangers and verify that mechanical designs reflect the approved thermal datasheet.
- Support the engineering of dryers, scrubbers, dampeners, storage tanks, skids and associated piping within the assigned scope.

3. Drawings and engineering documentation

- Prepare,



check and release general arrangement drawings, fabrication drawings, nozzle schedules, bills of materials and design reports.
- Ensure consistency between calculations, drawings, BOMs and customer requirements.
- Maintain drawing registers, revision history and controlled issue of approved documents.
- Prepare final as-built drawings and engineering documents required for the manufacturing record dossier.

4. Customer and inspection coordination

- Handle technical discussions with customers, consultants and inspection agencies.
- Close drawing and calculation comments promptly and track approval status.
- Coordinate with Quality and the Authorized Inspector on applicable design documentation and code requirements.
- Assess the technical, cost and delivery impact of customer changes and communicate these before implementation.

5. Manufacturing and procurement support

- Work with Production to ensure designs account for fabrication methods, welding access, assembly, inspection and maintenance.
- Provide Purchase with clear material specifications and review technical offers for bought-out items.
- Resolve shop-floor queries and assess proposed deviations or substitutions through the applicable approval process.
- Identify opportunities to reduce material waste, rework and manufacturing cost while meeting design requirements.

6.



Planning and team leadership

- Own the engineering schedule across active orders and allocate work to engineers and draughtspersons.
- Review and approve team deliverables within delegated authority.
- Track engineering progress, overdue approvals and design-related risks.
- Develop calculation templates, drawing standards and checking procedures.
- Mentor the team and coordinate engineering priorities with Sales, Purchase, Production and Quality.
- Maintain engineering deliverables and progress records in the company’s ERP/Odoo system.

Qualifications and experience
- B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering or an equivalent relevant qualification.
- Senior Design Engineer: Typically 6–10 years of relevant equipment design experience, with the ability to independently execute assigned projects.
- Relevant experience with a manufacturer of pressure vessels, heat exchangers or comparable fabricated process equipment is essential.
- Experience working in an ASME U-Stamp manufacturing environment is strongly preferred.

Required technical skills
- Practical knowledge of pressure vessel and heat exchanger mechanical design.
- Working knowledge of ASME Section VIII Division 1 and TEMA; familiarity with related material and welding requirements.
- Proficiency in PV Elite or equivalent pressure vessel design software .
- Proficiency in AutoCAD and the ability to prepare or review fabrication drawings.
- Understanding of material selection, fabrication tolerances, welding, NDE and pressure testing.
- Ability to interpret customer specifications and communicate technical decisions clearly.
