R&D / Product Development Engineer

The R&D / Product Development Engineer is part of the Product Development team and is responsible for developing individual products or specific technical elements for low to medium complexity projects.
This role supports the development of Low Voltage, High Voltage, and Charge Inlet Connector systems, contributing across the product lifecycle from concept to validation.

Key Responsibilities

Product Development & Design

• Assist in preparing technical proposals for low to medium complexity customer requirements
• Support Senior Engineers by creating and modifying CAD models and drawings
• Implement engineering change requests (ECN/ECR) and manage design revisions
• Analyze prototype samples and refine product designs accordingly
  

Engineering Analysis & Validation

• Collaborate with simulation teams and interpret analysis results for design optimization
• Support Design Verification Plan (DVP) execution and refinement activities
• Assist in Product Validation (PV) planning, testing, and documentation
• Implement design updates based on DFM review feedback
  

Quality & Manufacturing Support

• Create and update product specifications and technical documentation
• Perform First Article Inspection (FAI) evaluations
• Coordinate and resolve technical and manufacturing issues
• Ensure design compliance with manufacturability and quality standards
  

Education & Experience

• B.E / B.Tech or M.E/M.Tech (Mechanical or similar)
• Overall 2-4 years of experience in Product Design & Development
  

Core Competencies

• Strong product development experience, preferably in plastic component design and development.
• Proficient in Creo, with hands-on experience in product design activities.
• Should have independently led and driven design activities, rather than only supporting design tasks.
• Experience in the connector industry/domain is an added advantage.
• Good understanding and practical experience in tolerance stack-up analysis.
• Exposure to Model-Based Definition (MBD) methodologies.
• Knowledge of creepage and clearance requirements and standards.
• Experience in performing and validating engineering calculations and technical analyses.
• Ability to apply design principles and calculations to ensure product performance, manufacturability, and compliance with requirements.
