Job Description

Role Summary:

We are seeking a detail-oriented Design Engineer / Executive R&D to join our Research & Development team in Gurugram. In this role, you will be responsible for CAD modeling in UG-NX, developing 2D/3D designs for press parts and welded assemblies (2W & 4W), driving VA/VE initiatives, and optimizing manufacturing yield.

Key Responsibilities

• CAD Modeling & Design Drafting:

• Create and maintain detailed 2D/3D CAD models and engineering drawings using Siemens UG-NX for sheet metal press parts and welded sub-assemblies.

• Develop and maintain internal design standards, CAD libraries, and engineering galleries.

• Ensure full compliance with national and international drafting and engineering standards (including GD&T).

• Product Development & Value Engineering:

• Formulate VA/VE (Value Analysis / Value Engineering) proposals for running 2-wheeler and 4-wheeler product lines to optimize performance and reduce component costs.

• Develop yield-improvement designs and propose viable material and structural alternatives.

• Explore alternate raw materials (RMs) and develop feasible, high-efficiency design proposals.

• Benchmarking & Testing Coordination:

• Arrange prototype samples, execute teardown/benchmarking activities, and collaborate with CFT (Cross-Functional Teams) to prepare comprehensive technical evaluation reports.

• Coordinate with internal departments (Tooling, Quality, Production) and external vendors for tooling feasibility and Capex requirements.

• Digitalization, ERP & Automation:

• Execute and maintain engineering data in SAP ERP (Item Master creation, BOM / MPR support).

• Actively support digitalization and automation initiatives (RFQ automation, automated MoMs, workflow efficiency tools).

• Keep project timelines and milestones updated for seamless client and internal communication.

Candidate Profile & Qualifications

• Education: B.Tech / B.E. in Mechanical Engineering from a recognized institute.

• Experience: 2 to 4 years of proven hands-on experience in automotive R&D or product design.

• Technical Proficiencies:

• UG-NX (Must-have): High proficiency in 3D modeling, surface modeling, and 2D drafting for sheet metal, stampings, and welded assemblies.

• Strong knowledge of automotive manufacturing processes (sheet metal stamping, bending, welding, and surface treatment).

• Sound understanding of engineering tolerances, material specifications, and standards.

• Hands-on familiarity with SAP ERP modules (Item Master / MPR) is a distinct advantage.

• Soft Skills: Good interpersonal communication (English & Hindi) and cross-functional project coordination.
