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, Solidedge, 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 prototypesare 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 https://jobeax.com/link/SfG0PdVqAlABneCl and execute test plans, including environmental, durability, and performance testing. Document test procedures and results, and perform root cause analysis on any
failures. - Refine designs based on test feedback and performance data. Implement changes to improve functionality, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. Maintain detailed records of design iterations and changes made during the prototyping phase.
- Work on the integration of mechanical systems with electrical, software, and other subsystems. Ensure cohesive functioning of the complete system by collaborating closely with interdisciplinary teams. Develop system-level design documentation, including schematics, flowcharts. Ensure that mechanical designs are compatible with electronic
and software components.. - Identify opportunities for design improvements, including performance enhancements, weight reduction, and cost savings.
- Develop detailed project plans, including timelines, resource allocation, and milestones. Track project progress and adjust plans as necessary to ensure timely delivery.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to prepare for product launch. Develop and execute product launch plans, including production ramp-up, quality control, and supply chain coordination. Provide technical support during the initial production phase to address any issues that arise.
- Prepare comprehensive technical documentation, including detailed design reports,engineering specifications etc. Maintain accurate records of design iterations,modifications, and test results.
- Implement best practices in design processes and workflows. Contribute to the development and refinement of internal design standards and guidelines.
- Stay current with the latest advancements in mechanical engineering and related https://jobeax.com/link/AsZMSrrdeEdzVAwW new tools, technologies, and methodologies for potential adoption.
