Design and Development Engineer Openings in Thiruvananthapuram

 We are seeking a highly skilled and innovative Senior Mechanical Design Engineer with a minimum of 4 years of experience to join our dynamic Research & Development team. The ideal candidate will have a comprehensive background in mechanical design and engineering principles, with a demonstrated ability to develop and implement cutting-edge products and solutions. The role involves the end-to-end design process, from initial concept through to production, including the prototyping and testing of mechanical components and systems to meet project requirements and company standards. Responsibilities: • Generate innovative mechanical designs that meet project specifications and performance criteria. Employ CAD software (SolidWorks, Solid edge, Fusion 360) to create detailed 3D models and engineering drawings using ASME Y14.5 standard. • Conduct brainstorming sessions and design reviews to develop creative solutions to complex mechanical challenges. • Perform feasibility studies to evaluate the technical and economic viability of new product ideas. Conduct risk assessments and identify potential challenges and mitigation strategies. • Develop product specifications and requirements based on market research and stakeholder inputs. Create detailed product requirement documents and technical specifications that guide the design and development process. • Create and maintain BOMs associated with engineering drawings. • Develop detailed designs of mechanical components and assemblies. Ensure that designs are optimized for manufacturability, assembly, and fabrication. Select appropriate materials and finishes for components based on their functional requirements. • Ensure that designs are optimized for manufacturability, assembly, and cost efficiency. • Work closely with manufacturing teams to develop production processes and identify opportunities for automation and cost reduction. • Create tolerance analyses and conduct failure mode and effects analyses (FMEA) to ensure robustness. • Build physical prototypes using various techniques, such as CNC machining, 3D printing, and traditional fabrication methods. Oversee the fabrication process, ensuring prototypes are built to specification. Work with suppliers and in-house fabrication teams to source and manufacture prototype components. • Conduct thorough testing of prototypes to validate design concepts. Use analytical tools and techniques (e.g. FEA) to simulate operating conditions and predict performance. Design and execute test plans, including environmental, durability, and performance testing. Document test procedures and results and perform root cause analysis on any failures. • Experience with 3D CAD software, such as SolidWorks, Solid Edge, or Fusion 360.Qualification: Masters / Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering. Location: Technopark, Thiruvananthapuram. Salary : ₹70,000–₹80,000 per month
