Creo Design Engineer

Roles & Responsibilities :

THIS POSITION IS STRICTLY FOR CANDIDATES WITH HANDSON EXPERIENCE IN PTC CREO AND WINDCHILL.

Beginners or trainees should NOT apply.

METALEX designs and manufactures industrial compressors and precision engineering components.

The role requires deep expertise in designing rotating and reciprocating components such as crankshafts, connecting rods, pistons, impellers, and other highstress mechanical parts.

Core Design Responsibilities :

• Design engineering components including gears, bushes, crankcases, crankshafts, impellers, and other compressor parts using PTC Creo (3D & 2D).
• Develop highquality models for industrial products, fixtures, patterns, and molds.
• Ensure designs meet targets for feasibility, manufacturability, performance, cost, quality, and safety.
• Apply strong understanding of castings, forgings, alloys, and their influence on strength, hardness, and physical properties.
• Work with ASME & TEMA standards; demonstrate knowledge of welding methods and weld representation in Creo.
• Independently coordinate with manufacturing teams, vendors, and clients to gather design inputs and resolve issues.
• Update, maintain, and manage product design files in Windchill.
• Train and guide Production Engineers on engineered designs and drawing interpretation.
• Identify limitations, assumptions, and solutions during the design and development of Creo models.
• Support implementation and optimization of Creo engineering applications within the organization.

Advanced Creo Expertise (Mandatory):
