Design Engineer

Job Title / Role: Design Engineer  Handlebar_Footrests_Stands_Locks

- Design and develop Handle Bar, Footrests, Stands and Lock systems/components for two-wheelers under the technical direction of the System Engineer.

- Deliver robust component designs that meet functional performance, durability, safety, ergonomics, manufacturability, quality, weight and cost requirements while supporting new product, current product and future-technology programs.

Location: Hosur

Education Qualification: BE/BTech/MTech

Required Experience: 5-10 Years

Role Description

- Translate system-level requirements provided by the System Engineer into component-level design requirements and engineering solutions for Handle Bars, Footrests, Stands and Locks.

- Develop and release 3D CAD models, detailed 2D drawings, specifications and engineering documentation using Creo/CATIA and applicable GD&T practices.

- Perform engineering calculations and evaluate loading, strength, stiffness, durability, packaging, ergonomics, interfaces, tolerance stack-up and serviceability for assigned components.

- Apply DFM, DFA and DFS principles and select suitable materials and manufacturing processes such as casting, forging and fabrication considering performance, quality, weight and cost.

- Support DFMEA, design reviews, design guidelines and standard operating procedures; incorporate review actions into final designs.

- Coordinate prototype development and component/system validation; review test results for performance and durability and close design-related issues with the System Engineer.

- Work cross-functionally with CAE, testing, quality, purchasing, manufacturing, service, production, styling/packaging and suppliers to achieve agreed QCD requirements and vehicle integration.

- Lead/support structured problem solving and value engineering for new and current products, including root-cause analysis and implementation of design countermeasures.

- Drive standardization, carry-over and variety reduction opportunities across platforms while maintaining functional and regulatory requirements.

- Maintain timely, accurate design records, change documentation, specifications, lessons learnt and release data; escalate technical risks and decisions to the System Engineer.
