• Engage in structural and functional design of inflatable systems including air valves, seams, coatings, modulus, and pressure integrity.

• Ensure compliance of product designs with applicable standards such as:

• BIS, ANSI, EN, NFPA, ISO etc.

• Work with prototype development, sample testing, FEA, and simulation analysis for product optimization.

• Perform material selection, polymer/technical textile evaluation, load/pressure calculations, and structural strength analysis.

• Support development of tooling, molds, fixtures, and processes for manufacturing.

• Prepare BOM, 3D models, drawings, change notes, tolerance stack-ups, and engineering documentation.

• Coordinate with Production, Quality, Procurement, Tool Room, and Testing Lab teams.

• Monitor project timelines, validation plans, cost targets, and manufacturability constraints.

• Participate in field trials, customer feedback sessions, and troubleshooting activities.

Required Qualifications & Skills
