?️ HIRING | PRODUCT DESIGN / MECHANISM DESIGN ENGINEER Defence R&D;
• Precision Engineering
• Indigenous Product Development ? HUBLI, KARNATAKA | In office ? Astr Defence Pvt. Ltd. ? www.astrdefence.com

Experience:
2–8 Years Astr Defence is a deep-tech defence technology company developing indigenous small arms, launchers, fire-control systems, electro-optics, thermal imaging and counter-UAV technologies for the Indian defence ecosystem. We are looking for a hands-on Product Design / Mechanism Design Engineer who can convert engineering concepts into precise, manufacturable and reliable hardware. ? THIS IS NOT JUST A CAD JOB We are looking for an engineer who understands: DESIGN → TOLERANCE → MACHINING → ASSEMBLY → TESTING → IMPROVEMENT You should be comfortable solving real-world problems involving fit, clearance, interference, tolerance stack-up, precision machining and functional performance. ? WHAT YOU WILL WORK ON
• Mechanism and precision product design
• Complex mechanical assemblies and moving mechanisms
• Design for VMC / CNC turning / grinding / honing / precision machining
• GD&T;, fits, clearances & tolerance stack-up
• Worst-case and statistical tolerance analysis
• Precision component and assembly development
• DFM / DFA and manufacturing-ready drawings
• Prototype development and validation
• Root-cause analysis of design/manufacturing problems
• Shop-floor interaction and design corrections
• Improving dimensional accuracy, surface finish and repeatability
• Structural / thermal analysis where required
• Design iteration based on testing and field feedback
• Collaboration with electronics, optics,



software and systems engineers ? THE ENGINEER WE ARE LOOKING FOR You should have: ✅ Strong machine / mechanism design fundamentals ✅ Excellent understanding of GD&T;, fits, clearances and tolerance stack-up ✅ Practical understanding of precision machining and manufacturing processes ✅ Experience with VMC, CNC turning, grinding, honing, jig boring or similar precision processes ✅ Ability to understand how a component will actually be manufactured, measured, assembled and tested ✅ Strong proficiency in SolidWorks / Fusion 360 or equivalent ✅ Ability to troubleshoot interference, tolerance and functional problems ✅ Hands-on prototype / shop-floor experience ✅ Ability to independently take a design from concept → drawing → prototype → validation → improvement Defence / aerospace / automotive / precision engineering / industrial mechanism experience is preferred. ⭐ WHAT MATTERS MORE THAN YEARS OF EXPERIENCE We are particularly interested in engineers who can look at a mechanism and ask: "Will this actually work when manufactured?" Not just: "Can I model it in CAD?" We value: Engineering judgement
• Precision
• Problem solving
• Manufacturing awareness
• Ownership ? WHY JOIN ASTR DEFENCE? Work on real indigenous defence products, not routine CAD assignments. You will get exposure to:
• Product development from concept to production




• Precision mechanisms
• Advanced manufacturing
• Prototyping & testing
• Design-for-manufacturing challenges
• Cross-functional defence technology
• Rapid design iteration and problem solving For the right engineer, this is an opportunity to build deep product-development expertise, rather than becoming only a CAD modeller or drawing engineer. ? WORK LOCATION Hubli, Karnataka | On-site ? Defence R&D; + precision manufacturing environment ? Bus facility from Hubli city to factory ? 9:00 AM – 6:30 PM ? Monday–Saturday | Sunday holiday ❌ PLEASE DO NOT APPLY IF
• Your experience is primarily CAD modelling/drafting
• You have little understanding of manufacturing processes
• You have no practical exposure to GD&T; / tolerances
• You prefer a purely desk-based CAD role
• You are uncomfortable working closely with manufacturing and prototypes ? APPLY / REFER Send
