- Utilize CAD automation scripts and AI-driven design assistants to reduce design cycle time and eliminate repetitive tasks.

Engineering Analysis & Simulation

- Perform engineering calculations (stress, strain, thermal, vibration).
- Support or conduct simulations (FEA, CFD) to validate design performance under operational conditions.

Material & Component Selection

- Select suitable materials based on strength, cost, thermal/electrical properties, and ease of manufacturing.

Prototype Development & Testing

- Support or lead prototype development and testing activities.
- Collaborate with internal teams and vendors during prototype fabrication.

Design for Manufacturability & Assembly (DFM/DFA)

- Optimize designs for manufacturing and assembly processes such as machining, casting, and injection molding.
- Integrate AI-based design tools to evaluate manufacturability early in the design phase.

Cross-functional & Vendor Collaboration

- Coordinate with electrical, electronics, and software teams to ensure integrated product development.
- Collaborate with suppliers for custom parts and review external documentation.

Automation & AI Integration

- Leverage AI-assisted CAD features and rule-based design tools to automate repetitive design tasks.
- Use parameter-driven modeling, design templates, and macros to accelerate product development.
- Contribute to the implementation of smart design systems, reducing errors and increasing design efficiency

Documentation & Standards Compliance

- Maintain accurate and up-to-date engineering documentation (BOMs, ECNs, CE/PED compliance).
- Follow industry standards such as ASME, ISO, and DIN.
- Innovation & Continuous Improvement
- Identify opportunities for design enhancements, cost reduction, and performance optimization.
- Champion the use of automation tools and emerging technologies to increase productivity.

Technical Support

- Assist sales, service, and application engineering teams with technical queries and customer-specific requirements.

Qualifications & Requirements

- Education: Diploma or B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering or Tool & Die Design from a recognized institute.
- Experience: 35 years of hands-on experience in mechanical design, preferably in the pumping products or related industries.
- CAD Proficiency: Skilled in SolidWorks (preferred), UGNX, CATIA, or Pro-E.
- Certifications: Certified SolidWorks Professional (CSWP) is a plus.
- Knowledge Areas:
- Strong understanding of GD&T (ASME Y14.5)
- Experience with AI-assisted design workflows or CAD automation scripting (e.g., DriveWorks, iLogic, macros)
- Familiarity with PLM and ERP systems
- Understanding of ECR/ECO processes
- Knowledge of material selection and mechanical properties
- Soft Skills: Excellent communication, cross-functional collaboration, and a proactive mindset toward innovation.
