Role DescriptionWe are looking for a detail-oriented and technically strong Mechanical Design Engineer – New Product Development (NPD) to join our product development team at Pimpri, Pune.

The candidate will be primarily responsible for mechanical CAD design, 3D modelling, assembly design, and preparation of detailed engineering drawings for the development of innovative kitchen automation equipment.

The role involves translating product concepts, sketches, and functional requirements into detailed mechanical designs, developing component and assembly models, and supporting the development of new products from concept through prototyping and manufacturing.

We are looking for someone with strong hands-on CAD skills, sound mechanical engineering fundamentals, and a keen interest in designing and developing physical products and mechanical systems.

Key Responsibilities

- Develop detailed 3D CAD models of mechanical components, parts, and assemblies for new product development.
- Create and manage mechanical assemblies, ensuring proper fit, clearances, alignment, and functionality.
- Prepare detailed 2D engineering drawings, manufacturing drawings, and assembly drawings with appropriate dimensions and tolerances.
- Design mechanical components, sheet metal parts, fabricated structures, enclosures, brackets, fixtures, and mounting arrangements.




- Translate product concepts, sketches, and functional requirements into detailed mechanical CAD designs.
- Assist in designing mechanical mechanisms involving motors, shafts, gears, bearings, actuators, and other mechanical components.
- Develop and refine designs based on engineering feedback, prototype testing, and functional requirements.
- Apply Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) principles to ensure practical and manufacturable designs.
- Coordinate with vendors, fabricators, and manufacturing partners for component development and fabrication.
- Support prototype development, assembly, testing, and design improvements throughout the product development lifecycle.
- Maintain CAD models, engineering drawings, Bills of Materials (BOMs), and product design documentation.

Required Qualifications & • Skills
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Product Design Engineering, or a related discipline.
- 1–2 years of relevant experience in mechanical CAD design, product design, or mechanical product development.
- Strong hands-on proficiency in SolidWorks is mandatory, including 3D part modelling, parametric modelling, assembly design, and 2D engineering drawings.
- Experience in designing mechanical components, assemblies, sheet metal parts, and mechanical structures.
- Good understanding of engineering drawings, GD&T;, dimensional tolerances, fits, and clearances.
- Practical knowledge of manufacturing processes such as sheet metal fabrication, machining, welding, and CNC manufacturing.
- Understanding of mechanical components, materials, fasteners, bearings, shafts, gears,



and motion transmission systems.
- Ability to translate product concepts and functional requirements into detailed mechanical designs.
- Strong attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and a hands-on approach to engineering.

Preferred Qualifications & • Valuable-to-Have Skills
- Experience with other 3D CAD tools such as Creo, CATIA, or Autodesk Inventor would be an added advantage.
- Familiarity with engineering simulation and analysis software such as ANSYS, SolidWorks Simulation, or Autodesk Fusion Simulation for structural analysis, stress analysis, and basic thermal analysis.
- Internship or project experience in New Product Development (NPD), mechanical product design, or hardware engineering.
- Exposure to the complete product development cycle, including concept development, CAD modelling, prototyping, testing, and design iterations.
- Experience with prototype development, fabrication, and working with manufacturing vendors.
- Exposure to automation equipment, robotics, or electromechanical systems.
- Experience in FoodTech, commercial kitchen equipment, food processing machinery, or industrial equipment would be an added advantage.

Experience & • Eligibility
- Candidates with 1–2 years of relevant professional experience in Mechanical Design, CAD Design, or New Product Development (NPD) are encouraged to apply.
- Final-year engineering students in their last semester and recent graduates/freshers are also eligible to apply, provided they have completed at least two relevant internships with companies involved in New Product Development (NPD), mechanical product design, or hardware engineering.
- Candidates must demonstrate strong hands-on proficiency in SolidWorks, supported by practical projects, internship experience, or a portfolio of CAD designs.
