Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

About the job

Location: India / Ahmedabad

Division: ATRI Engineering – Mechatronics & Motion Systems

Reports To: VP of Engineering

Employment Type: Full-Time

Position Summary

We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to architect and lead the design of motorized, servo-controlled, and gear-driven assemblies for a new generation of handheld, portable, and robotic applications. The ideal candidate will combine technical depth in mechanical systems with strong collaboration skills and a practical, systems-level mindset.

This engineer will contribute to projects involving precision motion, servo actuation, and compact power transmission—supporting both commercial products and robotics-based platforms. Coding experience (e.g., for automation scripts, test setups, or motion control integration) is considered a plus.

Key Responsibilities

Design & System Architecture

• Lead architecture and design of motor-driven and gear-based assemblies for compact, high-performance applications.
• Specify and select DC, BLDC, and servo motors, gear configurations, and actuation mechanisms.
• Design and optimize gearing, housings, shafts, and couplings for high torque density and mechanical reliability.
• Support robotic subsystem development with integrated mechanical-electrical design.

Validation & Integration

• Perform tolerance analysis, mechanical FEA, and kinematic modeling.
• Collaborate on firmware integration for servo tuning and motion control feedback systems.
• Build, test, and refine mechanical prototypes for durability, thermal performance, and actuation precision.

Collaboration & Execution

• Partner with embedded, electronics, and software teams to co-design integrated systems.
• Coordinate with vendors for machining, prototyping, and production manufacturing.
• Support DFM/DFA, quality reviews, and production transition.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in mechanical system design with a focus on motorized assemblies, servos, and gear trains.
• Proven track record in designing for motion control, robotics, or portable electromechanical systems.
• Strong proficiency in CAD tools (SolidWorks, Creo, or equivalent).
• Deep understanding of motor types (DC, BLDC, stepper, servo) and their mechanical integration.
• Experience with mechanical analysis tools and lab-based prototyping and testing.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.

Preferred / Bonus Qualifications

• Hands-on experience in robotic arms, autonomous platforms, or servo-based motion systems.
• Familiarity with motion controllers, encoders, and control loop tuning.
• Coding experience in Python, or embedded C/C++ for motion control, hardware interface, or automation scripting.
• Exposure to battery-powered or low-noise mechanical design.
