Mechanical Team Lead

Role & responsibilities

The Mechanical Team Leader will lead and supervise the mechanical engineering team across design, fabrication, assembly, testing, and maintenance activities. Responsibilities include overseeing mechanical product design and component development, reviewing 2D drawings and 3D models, guiding the use of CAD software such as AutoCAD and SolidWorks, and monitoring fabrication, machining, sheet metal work, welding, and assembly processes. The candidate will ensure dimensional accuracy, quality control, and compliance with engineering specifications, troubleshoot complex mechanical issues, conduct root-cause analysis, and coordinate with electronics and embedded systems teams for product integration. The role also involves leading prototype development and design validation, managing project timelines and resources, mentoring team members, maintaining engineering documentation and quality records, and ensuring adherence to workplace safety procedures and engineering standards.

Preferred candidate profile

Experience in mechanical equipment development, precision assemblies, instrument enclosures, or industrial machinery is preferred. Knowledge of Design for Manufacturability (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), and quality assurance processes is desirable. The candidate should have experience coordinating mechanical and electronic components for integrated products. Exposure to environmental monitoring equipment or air quality monitoring instruments will be an added advantage.
