Job Summary

We are looking for an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer with a robust background in Special Purpose Machine (SPM) design, fixture development, workstation design, and mechanical automation for New Product Development (NPD) projects.

The ideal candidate should have hands-on experience in developing mechanical concepts, designing automation mechanisms, selecting pneumatic and mechanical components, and creating detailed 3D models and engineering drawings using Creo. The candidate will work closely with cross-functional teams to deliver reliable, cost-effective, and manufacturable engineering solutions within project timelines.

Roles & Responsibilities

- Design and develop Special Purpose Machines (SPMs), fixtures, jigs, workstations, and mechanical systems based on project and manufacturing requirements.
- Develop new mechanical concepts and mechanisms for automation and machine design applications.
- Create 3D models, assemblies, and detailed manufacturing drawings using Creo.
- Perform tolerance stack-up analysis to ensure proper fit, function, and assembly accuracy.
- Design ergonomic workstations and fixtures in accordance with manufacturing requirements and applicable ergonomic standards.
- Develop and optimize assembly mechanisms to improve productivity, efficiency, safety, and ease of operation.
- Identify and select appropriate mechanical and pneumatic components based on application requirements.
- Perform component selection for motors, VFDs, sensors, pneumatic systems, and IoT-enabled automation applications.
- Support manufacturing and assembly process planning by ensuring designs meet practical production requirements.
- Collaborate with production, quality, sourcing, project engineering, and other stakeholders for successful project execution.




- Review existing designs and implement improvements related to cost optimization, performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
- Prepare and maintain engineering documentation, including BOMs, detailed drawings, calculations, and design revision records.
- Participate in design reviews, prototype development, testing, troubleshooting, and validation activities.
- Provide technical guidance and mentoring to junior engineers and designers whenever required.
- Ensure compliance with applicable engineering standards, safety requirements, and organizational design practices.

Mandatory Skills & Technical Requirements

- Minimum 5 years of experience in mechanical design and development.
- Strong experience in Special Purpose Machine (SPM) design and fixture development for NPD projects.
- Hands-on experience in developing new mechanical mechanisms for automation and machine design applications.
- Proficiency in 3D modelling, assembly design, and detailed drawing creation using Creo.
- Experience in fixture, jig, and workstation design.
- Strong knowledge of pneumatic systems and component selection.
- Understanding of mechanical design principles, manufacturing processes, fabrication methods, and Design for Manufacturing (DFM).
- Experience in tolerance stack-up analysis and engineering drawing interpretation.
- Knowledge of manufacturing assembly processes and ergonomic workstation design.
- Ability to coordinate with cross-functional engineering, production, quality, and sourcing teams.

Desired Skills





- Exposure to electrical and automation components such as motors, VFDs, sensors, and IoT-based systems.
- Experience in automation equipment development and assembly line integration.
- Knowledge of cost optimization, value engineering, and design improvement activities.
- Experience in prototype development, testing, and design validation.
- Familiarity with industry engineering standards and safety requirements.

Soft Skills & Competencies
- Communication: Good verbal and written communication skills with the ability to interact effectively with customers, vendors, and internal stakeholders.
- Problem-Solving: Ability to analyze mechanical design challenges and develop practical engineering solutions.
- Team Collaboration: Effective coordination with production, quality, procurement, and project engineering teams.
- Leadership: Ability to guide junior engineers and take ownership of design activities.
- Time Management: Ability to manage multiple engineering activities and meet project deadlines.
- Attention to Detail: Accuracy in 3D models, engineering drawings, calculations, and technical documentation.
- Adaptability: Ability to respond to changing project requirements and engineering priorities.
- Decision-Making: Ability to make sound technical decisions based on engineering analysis and project requirements.
- Stakeholder Management: Professional coordination with customers, suppliers, vendors, and internal teams.

Additional Requirements

- Candidates must possess strong communication skills.
- Recruiter Prescreening: Profiles must be prescreened for good communication skills before submission to the client.
- Candidates should demonstrate hands-on mechanical design experience rather than only drafting or drawing experience.
- Preference will be given to candidates with practical SPM, automation mechanism, fixture, and pneumatic system design experience.
