Senior Mechanical Design Engineer – Motors, Servos & Gear Assemblies

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.
