motion systems.

- Perform kinematic and dynamic calculations for position, velocity, acceleration, force/torque using analytical methods.
- Translate product requirements into detailed mechanical designs, including linkage layouts, motion envelopes, and load paths.
- Develop 3D CAD models, assemblies, and detailed 2D drawings using GD&T; for manufacturing and procurement using UG NX.
- Conduct tolerance stack-up analysis for linkage assemblies to ensure functional performance across manufacturing variation.
- Lead fundamental requirement mapping, regulatory compliance screening, strategic material selection, rigorous design effort estimations and Mechanical BOM preparation.
- Moderate DFM/DFA and work closely with suppliers/vendors for tooling and production readiness.
- Spearhead Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA).
- Actively troubleshoot mechanical interface discrepancies, trailing fitment issues, and roll-out verified engineering changes.
- Design validation support and root cause analysis.
- Active participation in PPAP SOP support activities.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, Customers and Suppliers.
