MECHANICAL DESIGN ENGINEER

Key Job Responsibilities

Design & Modeling:
Create 3D CAD solid models, assemblies, and detailed fabrication or layout drawings using software like SolidWorks, CREO, or AutoCAD.

System Integration:
Select and integrate mechanical parts such as motors, actuators, gear drives, pumps, and valves into complete hardware solutions.

Analysis & Simulation:
Perform structural, kinematic, dynamic, and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulations, alongside tolerance stack-up analyses.

Prototyping & Testing:
Build and test prototypes, validate design compliance against safety/performance standards, and troubleshoot manufacturing or assembly issues.

DFM/DFA Optimization:
Apply Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles to optimize production costs and quality.

Documentation:
Maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs), engineering change notices, and technical specifications.

Requirements

Education:
Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or a closely related field.

Experience:
Generally ranges from

2 to 5+ years

of hands-on experience in mechanical or automation design (though entry-level or assistant roles are occasionally available).

Technical Skills:
Proficiency in 3D CAD platforms (SolidWorks, CREO, Siemens NX).Knowledge of simulation and analysis tools (FEA, CFD basics).Familiarity with manufacturing processes (CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, injection molding, 3D printing).

Industry Context:
Experience in high-precision automation, semiconductor equipment (front-end or back-end), robotics, or medical devices is a strong advantage.
