Responsibilities

As a Mechanical Design and Process Engineer, the candidate is expected to:

• Design mechanical components and systems using CAD tools (e.g., NX, SolidWorks, Creo).
• Lead design efforts for automation systems involving pneumatics and hydraulics, PLC and conveyor systems, motion control, sensors and actuators.
• Support non-automation mechanical design tasks such as structural components, enclosures, fixtures, and general mechanical assemblies.
• Conduct simulations and analysis using tools like ANSYS, FEA, and 6SigmaET.
• Perform DFx reviews and ensure designs meet manufacturability and reliability standards.
• Develop prototypes and conduct performance testing and failure analysis.
• Collaborate with suppliers and contract manufacturers to ensure design feasibility and cost-effectiveness.
• Create and maintain detailed engineering documentation and process instructions.
• Deliver mechanical design outputs aligned with project timelines and cost targets.
• Demonstrate flexibility in taking on diverse mechanical design tasks as required by project scope.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related discipline.
• Minimum 5 years of relevant experience in mechanical design, with a proven track record in automation systems design.
• Strong understanding of pneumatic, hydraulic, and conveyor systems.
• Experience with PLC integration and control systems is highly desirable.
• Familiarity with manufacturing processes (machining, welding, 3D printing).
