Job DescriptionJob Description

About the Role:
We are seeking a talented Design Engineer with a Bachelors or Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering and strong product design engineering experience. This position focuses on the design, development, and optimization of mechanical components, assemblies, and systems from concept through production. The ideal candidate combines innovative design skills with hands-on engineering knowledge to create manufacturable, cost-effective, and high-performance products. This role offers an opportunity to collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to transform design concepts into functional, production-ready solutions.

Responsibilities:

• Design and develop mechanical components and assemblies that meet performance, durability, and cost objectives.
• Lead product design projects from concept development through prototyping, validation, and production release.
• Create detailed 3D models, engineering drawings, and bills of materials using SolidWorks, Creo, or AutoCAD.
• Apply GD&T principles to ensure precise fit, form, and function across all designed components.
• Collaborate with manufacturing, quality, and supply chain teams to ensure designs are optimized for manufacturability and assembly.
• Conduct design reviews, tolerance analyses, and root cause investigations for engineering issues.
• Support product testing and validation activities to verify design intent and performance requirements.
• Maintain engineering documentation and revision control within PLM or ERP systems.
• Contribute to continuous improvement efforts by implementing design standardization and process enhancements.

Qualifications:

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related discipline.
• Minimum 37 years of experience in mechanical or product design engineering.
• Proficiency in 3D CAD software such as SolidWorks, Creo, or AutoCAD.
• Strong knowledge of mechanical design principles, materials, and manufacturing processes (CNC machining, sheet metal, injection molding, casting, or stamping).
• Experience applying GD&T and tolerance analysis to ensure design accuracy.
• Demonstrated ability to lead design projects, communicate technical information clearly, and collaborate across departments.
• Strong problem-solving, analytical, and documentation skills.

Desired Qualifications:

• Experience with mechanical product development in automotive, consumer goods, or industrial equipment industries.
• Knowledge of Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles.
• Familiarity with FEA, CFD, or other simulation tools to validate design performance.
• Experience with PLM, PDM, or ERP systems for engineering change management.
• Background in prototype development, testing, and validation methods.
• Strong teamwork and communication skills with the ability to manage multiple design projects simultaneously.
