Job Description / Responsibilities

- Design and develop Special Purpose Machines (SPMs), assembly automation equipment, material handling systems, jigs, fixtures, and tooling from concept to final release using SolidWorks.
- Understand customer requirements and convert them into technical specifications, concept layouts, and mechanical design proposals.
- Create detailed 3D models, assemblies, and 2D manufacturing drawings in accordance with engineering and company standards.
- Apply GD&T; and perform tolerance stack-up analysis for critical assemblies to ensure proper fit, function, and manufacturability.
- Apply Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles to optimize cost, manufacturing processes, and assembly efficiency.
- Prepare and maintain accurate Bills of Materials (BOM), including make/buy classification and part numbering.
- Select standard components such as pneumatic cylinders, linear guides, bearings, motors, gearboxes, servo systems, and sensors.
- Perform engineering calculations for load, force, torque, stress, and deflection. Use FEA tools wherever required.
- Coordinate with vendors and machine shops regarding part manufacturing, material selection, machining, heat treatment, and surface finishing.
- Support machine assembly, trials, commissioning, and troubleshooting on the shop floor and at customer sites.




- Coordinate with electrical and controls teams for sensor placement, cable routing, and panel integration.
- Manage Engineering Change Notices (ECNs), maintain design documentation, and participate in design reviews.
- Support and mentor junior engineers and contribute to design standardization and continuous improvement.

Desired Candidate Profile

- 4-6 years of hands-on mechanical design experience in SPM, industrial automation, assembly automation, or machine building.
- Strong proficiency in SolidWorks, including part modelling, large assemblies, sheet metal, weldments, and engineering drawing creation.
- Good knowledge of GD&T;, tolerance stack-up analysis, DFM, and DFA.
- Practical understanding of machining, sheet metal fabrication, welding, engineering materials, heat treatment, and surface treatments.
- Experience in preparing and managing BOMs and selecting standard mechanical and pneumatic components.
- Valuable understanding of pneumatics, hydraulics, and mechanical power transmission systems.
- Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and technical standards.
- Knowledge of SolidWorks Simulation/FEA, PDM/PLM systems, PLCs, servo systems, robotics integration, and machine safety standards will be an advantage.
- CSWA/CSWP certification will be an added advantage.
- Willingness to travel for machine installation and commissioning when required.
