Job Description

Roles & Responsibilities :

- Design 3D models and assemblies in commonly used CAD platforms.
- Ensure bracket designs and fastening methods withstand automotive vibration, thermal cycling, and harsh operating environments.
- Generate production-ready 2D design drawings with the relevant dimensions and tolerances.
- Analyze packaging constraints, clearance limits, and access/ergonomic requirements within various vehicle compartments (e.g., engine bay, cabin, under body, boot space).
- Apply clear understanding of DFMA and process capabilities (e.g., stamping, bending, CNC machining, laser cutting) to design cost-effective, easy-to-manufacture components.
- Design, prototype, and release sheet metal, machined, and additive manufactured (3D-printed/rapid prototype) brackets to safely mount sensors and hardware in restricted spaces while adhering to automotive durability and dynamic loads.
- Translate physical and technical integration requirements for automotive sensors (e.g., pressure, temperature, IMUs, speed, position) and data acquisition (DAQ) measurement hardware into mechanical mounting requirements.
- Select and apply appropriate fasteners (e.g., rivets, weld nuts, clinching/PEM fasteners, bolts, and clips) and joint techniques suited for specific automotive sheet metal and machined joints.
- Understand electrical schematics, translate them into harness preparation instructions.
- Coordinate with local vendors for rapid prototyping (3D printing, sheet metal, machining and plastic parts).
- Guide technicians integrating components on the car with work instructions and ensure adherence to best practices.





Qualifications

Educational qualification:

- B.E. / B. Tech. in Mechanical Engg./Automotive Engg.

Experience :

- 5 - 7 years

Mandatory/required Skills :

- Robust foundation in Mechanical Engineering and its application to product design.
- Knowledge of failure mechanisms and mitigation measures for mechanical components of various metallic and non-metallic (polymer) materials.
- Expertise in usage of one or more CAD tools (NX, Creo/ProE, CATIA, or Solid Works)
- Hands-on experience in mechanical integration of components on vehicles and coordination with other teams for electrical integration on vehicles.
- Mechanical design and development of sheet metal parts, machined components, and custom mounting solutions tailored for automotive components.
- Make flat pattern/unfolded views for sheet metal fabrication.
- Ability to identify and apply dimensions and tolerances from international design standards to standard automotive components such as fastener joints, hydraulic joints and shaft-hole systems.
- Apply standard cable management and routing concepts for automotive wire harnesses - enforce minimum bend radii, incorporate strain relief, separation from heat sources, sharp sheet metal edges, and moving components.

Preferred Skills :

- Ability to identify basic automotive electrical connections (power and signals) in the car and how to safely tap into the stock car electrical networks.
- Identify harness routings, verify pinouts and connector interfaces, and conduct electrical continuity checks to ensure proper system wiring during setup and integration testing.
