Department:

Design & Engineering

Reports To:

Engineering Manager / Technical Head

Job Purpose:

To design and develop pneumatic actuators and a wide range of industrial valves (Ball, Globe, Butterfly, V-notch, Plug). The role involves managing New Product Development (NPD), preparing ISO-compliant engineering documentation and drawings, ensuring compliance with global standards, and providing cross-functional technical support.

Key Responsibilities:1. Design & Development

• Design pneumatic actuators and valves in accordance with international standards including ISO 5211, ISO 5599, ISO 5208, and ISO 9001.
• Ensure product designs meet customer requirements, functional performance, and manufacturing feasibility.
• Create 3D models, 2D manufacturing drawings, BOMs, and exploded views using Catia, SolidWorks, or other CAD tools.
• Apply GD&T and ISO-based tolerancing, surface finishes, and material specifications.
• Design support for existing products and design optimization for manufacturability and cost-effectiveness.

2. New Product Development (NPD)

• Lead or participate in the development of new valve and actuator products from concept to release.
• Conduct DFMEA, design reviews, and prototype testing aligned with ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 practices.
• Coordinate with quality, production, procurement, and marketing during product development stages.
• Document technical design files, validation plans, and qualification test records.

3. Engineering Documentation & Standards

• Develop and maintain ISO-compliant:
• General Arrangement Drawings (GADs)
• Assembly and part drawings
• BOMs and revision-controlled documents
• Interpret and implement international standards such as:
• ISO 5211 – Actuator mounting interface
• ISO 5208 – Valve pressure testing
• ISO 10497 – Fire test for valves
• ASME B16.34, API 6D – Valve design & pressure integrity

4. Technical Support to All Departments

• Support production, quality control, sourcing, and sales with design-related inputs.
• Review customer datasheets, P&IDs, and technical specifications.
• Participate in troubleshooting, Root Cause Analysis (RCA), and continuous improvement initiatives.

5. Quality, Compliance & Continuous Improvement

• Participate in internal and external ISO audits and ensure corrective actions are implemented.
• Propose design improvements, value engineering, and cost-saving opportunities.
• Stay updated on revisions of ISO, ASME, and API standards and modify design processes accordingly.

Required Skills & Competencies:

• Expertise in pneumatic actuator sizing, valve design, and sealing technologies.
• Proficiency in 3D CAD software like Catia, SolidWorks, and 2D tools like AutoCAD.
• Strong grasp of GD&T, engineering concepts, and drawing interpretation.
• Knowledge of ISO and ASME design/testing standards.
• Familiar with QMS practices, especially ISO 9001.
• Strong communication, teamwork, time management, and a disciplined approach to engineering tasks.

Educational & Experience Requirements:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent.
• 1–7 years of experience in mechanical design related to valves and actuators.
• Preferred experience in:
• ISO 5211 actuator interface
• ISO 5208 seat testing
• NPD under ISO 9001 guidelines

Desirable (Optional):

• Knowledge of ERP/PLM systems (SAP, Windchill, etc.).
• Experience with FEA/CFD tools like ANSYS or SolidWorks Simulation.
• Exposure to automation standards (IEC 61508, ISO 1219) for actuator/valve systems.
