Design Engineer

About the Role:

We are looking for a highly skilled and detail-oriented Design Engineer with a strong mechanical engineering background and hands-on experience in SolidWorks and AutoCAD. The candidate shall have at minimum 5 years of industry experience, a deep understanding of engineering drawings, and the ability to convert design concepts into manufacturable and quick to implement solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Create and modify 3D models and 2D drawings using SolidWorks and AutoCAD.
• Interpret and work with complex engineering drawings, including a solid understanding of GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerance).
• Design mechanical components and assemblies with consideration for manufacturability, fabrication, and assembly processes.
• Perform engineering calculations for stress, load, tolerance stack-ups, and fits.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (production, quality, procurement, etc.) to support the technology transfer from design to production.
• Review and improve existing designs based on feedback from shop floor and field applications.
• Prepare detailed technical documentation including BOMs, assembly drawings, and design reports.
• Technology transfer from design department among different manufacturing units.
• Support the prototyping, testing, and validation of new designs.

Qualification:

• Bachelors degree (B.Tech) in Mechanical Engineering from a recognized institution.
• Minimum 5 years of hands-on & proven design experience in a mechanical or manufacturing environment in chemical process/pharma equipment manufacturing.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with proficiency in engineering calculations.
• Proficiency in SolidWorks and AutoCAD is a must.
• Strong understanding of engineering drawings, tolerances, and GD&T. Shall be able to make complex 3D models from drawings.
• In-depth knowledge of manufacturing processes (machining, welding, sheet metal, fabrication, forging, casting, etc.).
• Experience in technology transfer from among design departments of different manufacturing units and design to production is highly desirable.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work in a collaborative team environment.
• Familiarity with ISO/ASME/DIN design standards.

Good to have:

• Experience in working with ERP systems and design release processes.
• Exposure to FEA tools is a plus.
• Familiarity with project management tools and methodologies.
• Exposure of equipment or heavy machinery design & manufacturing
