Job Title: Associate Manager Design and Development

Job Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled and dynamic Associate Manager Design and Development to lead and execute engineering design projects from concept to final product. In this role, you will bridge the gap between complex engineering concepts and practical manufacturing solutions, managing the complete product design life cycle. You will be responsible for structural analysis, advanced 3D modeling, and ensuring all designs strictly comply with relevant Indian engineering standards.

Job Details

• Location: Udyog Vihar, Gurugram (On-site)
• Experience: 5 to 8 years in mechanical design and development
• Employment Type: Full-time
• Salary: Best in industry (commensurate with experience and skills)

Key Responsibilities

• Product Design & Life Cycle Management: Lead new product development (NPD) projects through the entire product design life cycle, from brainstorming and prototyping to testing and mass production.
• 3D Modeling & Simulation: Design complex mechanical systems, parts, and assemblies using SolidWorks. Conduct advanced motion studies to evaluate kinematics and moving parts.
• Structural Engineering & Analysis: Perform rigorous theoretical structural engineering calculations (hand calculations/FEM basics) and validate them using Ansys for finite element analysis (FEA), stress, strain, and fatigue.
• Drawing & Manufacturing Preparation: Create detailed 2D manufacturing drawings, apply correct GD&T symbols, and manage the creation of clear engineering documentation.
• Welding Standards Compliance: Apply deep technical understanding of Indian specifications for welding (BIS standards). Correctly specify welding symbols, joint types, and throat thicknesses on engineering drawings.
• Team Leadership & Collaboration: Guide junior draftsmen and engineers, collaborate with cross-functional teams (production, quality, and procurement), and present design reviews to upper management.

Requirements and Qualifications

• Education: B.E. / B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering or Structural Engineering.

• Experience: 5–8 years of core experience in mechanical design, structural calculations, and analysis.

• Software Expertise:

• Expert-level proficiency in SolidWorks (3D modeling, assembly, sheet metal, and motion study modules).

• Strong proficiency in Ansys (Static Structural, Modal, and basic Non-linear analysis).

• Good working knowledge of AutoCAD for layout and drawing reviews.

• Technical Domain Knowledge:

• Solid grounding in core structural engineering calculations (beam deflection, stress analysis, material selection).

• Complete familiarity with Indian Standards (IS) related to welding, steel structures, and fabrication.

• Flawless understanding of welding symbols and design for manufacturing (DFM) / design for assembly (DFA).

• Expertise in Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) and drawing plotting/printing management (scale, sheet sets, plot styles).

• Soft Skills: Excellent problem-solving, project management, and communication skills to lead design reviews and coordinate with vendor workshops.
