Senior Engineer - Mechanical Design

JOB PURPOSE

Develop and support engineering product designs meeting form-fit-function within the desired time and meeting the quality terms for NPD projects. The incumbent will strive to create innovative design and generate IP for the organization.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Architectural sub systems design

• Work with various engineering and client functions to develop layout, solid models, assembly and detailing of product subsystems, components, and interface structures using CAD/PLM tools, like Creo parametric.
• Develop theoretical calculations for subsystems and components.
• Use simulation tools for design validation and use the same for design optimization.

Benchmark product study

• Conduct product and architectural benchmarking and report observations and opportunities for value propositions.

Engineering design

• Work closely with Industrial Design (external as well as internal) & product teams to develop concepts and carry the development through to manufacturing. He should ensure adherence to brand design language while providing engineering solutions.
• Design high volume & high cosmetic plastic and metal parts, aluminum die casting, extrusion components, rubber parts and specify finish
• Create BOM (Bill of Materials), draft 2D drawings with CTQ mark, balloon diagrams, and conduct part inspection.
• Execute reverse engineering projects and engage with external agencies to ensure timely completion.
• Ensure DFMEA, DFM related actions are closed and revised RPNs updated
• Use basics of statistical tolerancing and tolerance stack practices for robust engineering
• Create innovative design concepts and file Invention Disclosure Form thereby generating IP for the organization.

Prototyping

• Prepare prototype and participate in required testing to achieve engineering specs
• Develop rapid prototypes and communicate designs in CAD

Documentation and control

• Participate in NPD (New Product Development) process from concept to part realization.
• Maintain document control and design change management during NPD process
• Support senior engineers in should costing
• Work closely with Industrial Design (external as well as internal) & product teams to develop concepts and carry the development through to manufacturing.
• Oversee design checking and design validation of the CAD models and 2D drawings for GDT.
