Engineer - Sustanence

POSITION OVERVIEW: The Engineer in Mechanical Systems is responsible for spearheading complex mechanical system design, analysis, and integration. A deep technical expert, this role requires a profound understanding of the core principles of mechanical engineering, with an emphasis on designing state-of-the-art solutions for challenging applications.

JOB DESCRIPTION

Design of Complex Mechanical Systems: Lead the detailed design and analysis of intricate mechanical systems using 3D CAD software, ensuring robustness, reliability, and compliance with industry standards. Proficiently use GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) in design documentation and consider tolerance stack-ups in assemblies to ensure manufacturability and fit.

Design Management: Manage the complete lifecycle of product designs from ideation to Pilot Production. Oversee the creation and maintenance of MOM (Methods of Manufacture) documentation, and ensure comprehensive 3D CAD design documentation, including specifications and product manuals, with adherence to GD&T standards.

Validation & Verification of Design: Define and execute rigorous test plans for design validation. Analyse system performance under various conditions to ensure the integrity and quality of the design.

Component Selection and Manufacturing/Sourcing: Select appropriate hardware components to ensure designs are producible and scalable. Provide guidance on tooling, fabrication methods, and assembly. Dive deep into tolerance stack-ups to guarantee design robustness and assist in sourcing and evaluating suppliers and vendors for specialized mechanical components.

Integration and Testing: Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams for the seamless integration of mechanical systems with electronics, software, and other system components, ensuring alignment in design parameters and tolerance considerations.

Quality and Reliability :Champion the application of GD&T and tolerance stack-ups to ensure consistent quality across design iterations and manufacturing batches. Uphold the highest standards of quality throughout the design process and investigate and resolve any quality issues arising from design or manufacturing processes.

Documentation: Maintain detailed documentation of System Integration processes, configurations, Design and System Engineering Reviews, Validation plan vs actual, and test results to facilitate troubleshooting and future development.

Collaboration: Forge collaborations with project managers, quality assurance teams, and other stakeholders to align on project requirements and deliverables. Leverage 3D CAD for cross-functional design reviews and provide mentorship and technical guidance to junior mechanical engineers and technicians.

Stay Informed: Stay up-to-date with industry trends, emerging technologies, and regulatory changes related to drone systems to ensure compliance and competitiveness.

SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS:

Bachelors degree in Aerospace engineering, Mechanical, Electrical engineering, or a related field. Masters degree preferred.

Advanced proficiency in CAD softwares such as SolidWorks, CATIA, or Autodesk Inventor. PTC Creo and Windchill experience would be preferred.

Strong foundation in mechanical engineering principles, material science, and kinematics.

Excellent problem-solving and troubleshooting abilities.
