Senior Engineer - Design (Sheet Metal - Shelters n Canopy) - Khopoli

Role & responsibilities

• We have a requirement of a Engineer, having 4-7 years of experience in sheet metal canopies, shelters, proficient in 3D modelling design using Solid Works.
• Design Engineer should be able to creates precise 3D models, assemblies, and detailed technical manufacturing drawings.
• Responsibilities include managing Bills of Materials (BOMs), conducting fitment / feasibility analyses, and optimizing mechanical components for production. Design Engineer will work with cross-functional teams like manufacturing, QA, and procurement to refine designs

Core Responsibilities:

• Lead Team of Design Engineers: Lead team, guide them in designing material selection and design optimisation.
• 3D Modeling& Drafting: Build accurate 3D parts and sub-assemblies, and convert them into detailed 2D manufacturing drawings
• Design Optimization: Modify and improve existing designs to reduce manufacturing costs and enhance product performance.
• Standards Compliance: Apply GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) and ensure designs align with engineering and industry standards.
• Material selection: Sound knowledge of material standards (Indian and International with equivalence), mechanical and chemical properties of material.
• Knowledge of manufacturing processes: Sound knowledge of various manufacturing processes.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Coordinate with customers, production and QA teams to ensure manufacturability and process engineering requirements and should follow Engineering Release and Engineering Change Order process.
• Prototyping & Testing: Support prototype development, fitment checks, and design validation activities.

Key Skills & Requirements:

• Software: High proficiency in SolidWorks 3D modelling (parts, assemblies, and surfacing).
• Knowledge of manufacturing processes: Understanding of manufacturing processes (machining, casting, or sheet metal). Applicable tolerance for the respective process.
• Material selection: Sound knowledge of material grade, mechanical and chemical properties of material.
• Design for manufacturing: Candidate should be well conversant and hands on regarding concepts of Design for Manufacturing DFM and Design for Assembly DFA”
• Documentation: Experience in generating accurate BOMs and version-controlled engineering documentation.
