• Ensure designs meet performance, reliability, and aesthetic requirements.

3D Modeling & Drafting

• Create accurate 3D models and detailed 2D drawings with tolerances, material specifications, and manufacturing notes.
• Utilize

  CAD automation scripts and AI-driven design assistants

  to reduce design cycle time and eliminate repetitive tasks.

Engineering Analysis & Simulation

• Perform engineering calculations (stress, strain, thermal, vibration).
• Support or conduct simulations (FEA, CFD) to validate design performance under operational conditions.

Material & Component Selection

• Select suitable materials based on strength, cost, thermal/electrical properties, and ease of manufacturing.

Prototype Development & Testing

• Support or lead prototype development and testing activities.
• Collaborate with internal teams and vendors during prototype fabrication.

Design for Manufacturability & Assembly (DFM/DFA)

• Optimize designs for manufacturing and assembly processes such as machining, casting, and injection molding.
• Integrate AI-based design tools to evaluate manufacturability early in the design phase.\

Cross-functional & Vendor Collaboration

• Coordinate with electrical, electronics, and software teams to ensure integrated product development.
• Collaborate with suppliers for custom parts and review external documentation.

Automation & AI Integration

• Leverage AI-assisted CAD features

  and rule-based design tools to automate repetitive design tasks.
• Use

  parameter-driven modeling, design templates, and macros

  to accelerate product development.
• Contribute to the implementation of smart design systems, reducing errors and increasing design efficiency

Documentation & Standards Compliance

• Maintain accurate and up-to-date engineering documentation (BOMs, ECNs, CE/PED compliance).
• Follow industry standards such as ASME, ISO, and DIN.

• Innovation & Continuous Improvement

• Identify opportunities for design enhancements, cost reduction, and performance optimization.
• Champion the use of automation tools and emerging technologies to increase productivity.

Technical Support

• Assist sales, service, and application engineering teams with technical queries and customer-specific requirements.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Education:

  Diploma or B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering or Tool & Die Design from a recognized institute.

• Experience:

  3–5 years of hands-on experience in mechanical design, preferably in the pumping products or related industries.

• CAD Proficiency:

  Skilled in SolidWorks (preferred), UGNX, CATIA, or Pro-E.

• Certifications:

  Certified SolidWorks Professional (CSWP) is a plus.

• Knowledge Areas:

• Strong understanding of GD&T (ASME Y14.5)
• Experience with AI-assisted design workflows or CAD automation scripting (e.g., DriveWorks, iLogic, macros)
• Familiarity with PLM and ERP systems
• Understanding of ECR/ECO processes
• Knowledge of material selection and mechanical properties

• Soft Skills:

  Excellent communication, cross-functional collaboration, and a proactive mindset toward innovation.
