  • Drive Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) and continuous optimization for cost, performance, and reliability.
  • Oversee testing, validation, and qualification of mechanical subsystems as per defence protocols.
  • Maintain robust configuration management, documentation, and traceability across the development lifecycle.

  • B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline.
  • 8+ years of experience in defence or high-reliability mechanical systems design.
  • Proficiency in CAD tools (SolidWorks, CATIA, Creo) and CAE tools (ANSYS, Abaqus, MATLAB, Simulink).
  • Strong understanding of military standards — MIL-STD, DEF-STAN, BIS, STANAG, ISO.
  • Proven expertise in end-to-end product lifecycle — from requirements to design, simulation, testing, and deployment.
  • Experience with armoured vehicles, UGVs, payloads, or weapon systems preferred.
  • Familiarity with PLM tools and configuration management practices.
