• Conduct Structural and Thermal Analysis to ensure the mechanical design meets required specifications, considering safety, efficiency, and durability.
• Create and Validate Prototypes for mechanical systems, components, and assemblies.
• Ensure System Integration between mechanical components and other system elements (e.g., robotics, control systems) for optimal performance.
• Support Testing and Validation of systems, ensuring all mechanical parts work cohesively with the overall system, and meet quality standards.
• Provide Technical Support during installation, maintenance, and after-sales, focusing on mechanical issues to ensure systems operate effectively.
• Develop Documentation for mechanical designs, assembly instructions, and troubleshooting procedures.
• Work on Project Management, helping to manage timelines, resources, and team coordination to ensure on-time delivery of mechanical solutions.
• Customer Support and Training for understanding mechanical system functionality and best practices.
• Perform engineering work in Design optimization, development, and documentation.
• Conceptualization, designing (using SolidWorks or manual techniques), tooling, prototype development, testing and evaluation of parts.
• Conduct studies to determine the feasibility, costs, or performance benefits of new mechatronic Systems/Subsystems.
• Preparing Design FMEA for Critical Functions.
• Cost Optimization using appropriate Value Engineering concepts within a defined R&D budget.
• Teamwork with suppliers and inter departments (quality, purchase, Maintenance, production, sales etc.) during the design phase, prototyping phase as well as the production phase.
• Work closely with the procurement team, and vendors for continuous improvement in the existing products by scouting alternate design as well as manufacturing process.
• Development of designs/features for product quality improvements, cost saving, import substitution etc.
• Directs appropriate support for Operations, Manufacturing and Quality functions within the organization
• Work closely with the Operations team to understand scope for continuous improvement in the existing products
• Adhere to and support company Health, Safety & Environmental and Sustainability Policies.
• Prepare, maintain, and provide a variety of reports/documents as required or upon request.
• Releasing Detailed Designs & BOM for Manufacturing.
• To be successful in this role you will have superior planning, problem solving. Operating in a fastmoving and sometimes ambiguous environment you will work autonomously taking full control and responsibility for completing departmental objectives.
