Job Description

About the RoleWe are developing advanced physical products that require strong mechanical engineering capabilities, precision, and rapid execution. The Mechanical R&D Engineer will be responsible for designing, prototyping, and validating high-performance mechanical systems. This role involves hands-on engineering work, rapid iteration, and close collaboration across disciplines. It requires the ability to convert concepts into functional prototypes and refined engineering solutions.---Key Responsibilities1. Mechanical Design & CAD Engineering· Develop high-precision 3D models, assemblies, and detailed engineering drawings using SolidWorks.· Design complex mechanisms, enclosures, actuators, and high-tolerance components.· Perform tolerance stack-up analysis and ensure manufacturability and engineering integrity for production.2. Rapid Prototyping & Experimental Builds· Translate design concepts into functional prototypes using 3D printing, machining, sheet-metal fabrication, molding, and other processes.· Assemble, modify, test, and refine prototypes through multiple iteration cycles.· Collaborate with electronics, firmware, and cross-functional teams for integrated proof-of-concept builds.3. Design for Performance & Reliability· Engineer systems to withstand thermal loads, vibrations, shock, environmental conditions, and long-term usage.· Conduct structural, thermal, and modal simulations using FEA tools to validate and optimize designs.· Lead mechanical root-cause investigations and implement corrective actions and performance improvements.4. Manufacturing & Supplier Collaboration· Work with suppliers for machining, injection molding, sheet metal, casting, and other manufacturing processes.· Prepare production-ready drawings, GD&T specifications, and Bills of Materials (BOMs).· Optimize designs for DFM and DFA while maintaining performance and design objectives.5. Innovation & Problem Solving· Develop innovative mechanisms and user-centric mechanical solutions.· Explore new materials, fabrication techniques, and manufacturing processes.· Contribute to the mechanical architecture of next-generation product platforms.---Required Skills & ExpertiseMechanical Engineering Fundamentals· Strong foundation in mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, materials, and manufacturing technologies.· Experience designing complex assemblies and precision components.· SolidWorks (Mandatory)Advanced proficiency in:· 3D modelling· Assembly design and motion studies· Surface modelling· Sheet metal and plastic component design· Weldments· Engineering drawings (1st and 3rd angle projections)· BOM generation· Simulation (FEA)Prototyping· Hands-on experience with 3D printing, machining, CNC operations, rapid tooling, and model-making.· Ability to independently convert concepts into functional prototypes.Preferred Skills (Bonus)· Experience in consumer products, robotics, appliance engineering, mechanisms, or electro-mechanical systems.· Knowledge of IP ratings, safety standards, and reliability engineering practices.· Experience with CAE tools such as Ansys, SolidWorks Simulation, or Creo Simulate.· Understanding of DFM/DFA, GD&T, and production processesExperience Requirements· 6–8 years of experience in mechanical design, product development, R&D, or innovation-focused engineering roles.· Proven track record of developing functional prototypes and not limited to CAD-only work.---Why Join Us· Opportunity to work in a high-performance, fast-paced R&D environment.· High ownership and autonomy in mechanical design and prototyping.· Participate in the creation of advanced products aimed at global markets.· Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to execute end-to-end product development.QualificationBTech /Mtech
