Mechanical Design Engineer

Role & responsibilities

. Required Technical Knowledge

• Good understanding of panel fabrication practices sheet metal, enclosures, mounting layouts, gland plates, ventilation, cable entry
• Knowledge of sheet metal design principles — bending, cutouts, welding, finishing
• Understanding of IP ratings, panel construction standards, and general panel-building practices
• Ability to read and interpret customer layout requirements, GA drawings, and site/space constraints
• Basic awareness of electrical panel internals (component placement, clearance requirements) is an advantage

5. Required Software Skills

• SolidWorks — 3D mechanical design and modeling — mandatory
• AutoCAD (3D) — 3D drafting and detailing — mandatory
• Solid Edge — an added advantage

6. Key Responsibilities

• Prepare 3D models and fabrication drawings for panel enclosures based on electrical layout and customer requirements
• Prepare detailed sheet metal drawings — cutouts, bending details, hardware placement
• Coordinate with Electrical Design team for component placement, clearance, and layout finalization
• Prepare drawings for customer approval; incorporate review comments and revisions
• Release fabrication drawings to Production with complete detailing for manufacturing
• Support Production with clarifications during panel fabrication
• Maintain drawing documentation and revision control as per company practice

7. Desired Soft Skills

• Strong spatial/visualization ability for 3D design
• Attention to detail — dimensional accuracy is critical for fabrication
• Good coordination skills to work with Electrical Design and Production teams
• Willingness to learn panel-building practices (for freshers from pure mechanical background)

Ability to work to deadlines in an order-driven environment
