Mechanical Engineer / Mechanical Assistant Engineer

Key Responsibilities

1. Mechanical Design & Development

• Design and develop AMV chassis, frames, mounting structures, enclosures, and mechanical assemblies.
• Create detailed 2D drawings and 3D models using SolidWorks based on engineering requirements and design concepts.
• Prepare manufacturing drawings, including GD&T, tolerance analysis, Bills of Materials (BOM), and material specifications.
• Produce fabrication drawings and maintain engineering documentation throughout the product lifecycle.
• Perform design calculations, tolerance stack-up analysis, and material selection.
• Ensure designs meet operational, environmental, reliability, and safety requirements.

2. Prototype Development & Testing

• Build and evaluate prototypes for proof-of-concept, validation, and production deployment.
• Conduct mechanical testing, vibration testing, durability testing, and environmental assessments.
• Analyse test results and implement design improvements to enhance product performance and reliability.
• Support prototyping and testing activities by providing accurate technical drawings and resolving design-related issues.

3. Project Execution

• Support mechanical engineering activities throughout the project lifecycle, from concept development to deployment.
• Work closely with stakeholders, project managers, and cross-functional teams to refine designs and ensure manufacturability.
• Prepare engineering schedules, technical reports, and project documentation.
• Coordinate with suppliers, fabricators, and contractors to ensure timely delivery of components and assemblies.

4. Manufacturing & Production Support

• Support production teams during fabrication, assembly, integration, and commissioning activities.
• Develop assembly procedures, work instructions, and quality standards.
• Drive Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) initiatives.
• Update and maintain drawing revisions, engineering documentation, and CAD data management systems.
• Assist in cost optimisation and continuous improvement efforts.

5. Troubleshooting & Continuous Improvement

• Investigate mechanical failures and perform root cause analysis.
• Recommend and implement corrective and preventive actions.
• Improve system reliability, maintainability, and operational performance.
• Demonstrate a hands-on attitude by supporting prototype builds, performing assembly checks, and troubleshooting design issues directly on parts, assemblies, and deployed systems.

6. Compliance & Safety

• Ensure compliance with relevant industry standards, regulations, and workplace safety requirements.
• Conduct design reviews, engineering evaluations, and risk assessments.
• Support product certification, validation activities, and customer acceptance testing where required.
• Maintain engineering documentation in accordance with company quality procedures.

Requirements

Education

• Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.

Experience

• 2 to 5 years of experience in mechanical design, product development, automation, robotics, vehicle systems, or related industries.
