Mechanical Design Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop sheet metal, casting, and electromechanical components and assemblies from concept through production release.
• Create detailed 2D drawings and 3D models using SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, and AutoCAD, ensuring GD&T and manufacturing standards are followed.
• Drive New Product Development (NPD) activities including concept generation, design reviews, DFMEA, prototyping, and design validation.
• Collaborate with manufacturing, quality, and sourcing teams to ensure designs are optimized for Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA).
• Work closely with vendors and suppliers for sheet metal fabrication and casting processes, including tooling and process feasibility discussions.
• Perform tolerance stack-up analysis and basic engineering calculations to validate design robustness.
• Prepare and maintain BOMs, engineering change notes (ECNs), and design documentation as per NPD process requirements.
• Support prototype builds, testing, and troubleshooting of mechanical and electromechanical assemblies.
• Coordinate with cross-functional teams (electrical, quality, manufacturing, and project management) to ensure timely product development milestones.
• Ensure compliance with applicable industry standards, safety, and regulatory requirements.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
• 5 to 8 years of relevant experience in mechanical design, with strong exposure to sheet metal, casting, and electromechanical components.
• Proficiency in SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, and AutoCAD is mandatory.
• Sound knowledge of New Product Development (NPD) processes and design lifecycle stages.
• Strong understanding of GD&T, tolerance analysis, and manufacturing/assembly processes.
• Familiarity with DFMEA, DFM/DFA principles, and design validation practices.
• Good communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively across teams and with external vendors.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities with attention to detail.

Ability to manage multiple projects and work under tight timelines
