Senior Mechanical Product Development Specialist

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Mechanical Design Engineer with a passion for innovation, problem-solving, and next-generation product development.

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in mechanical engineering principles and experience with 3D CAD modeling, technical drawing, and documentation. They should be proficient in MS Office Suite and able to effectively communicate across cross-functional teams.

• Design and develop complex mechanical components and assemblies for high-reliability, ruggedized products, including IP65/IP68-rated enclosures for harsh environments.
• Create precise 3D CAD models and detailed technical drawings using SolidWorks or equivalent CAD tools, ensuring alignment with manufacturing requirements.
• Lead prototyping efforts using various methods, including CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, 3D printing, and plastic molding.
• Select appropriate materials and manufacturing processes to meet mechanical, thermal, and environmental requirements.
• Perform tolerance analysis, stress analysis, and thermal analysis to ensure mechanical robustness and compliance with design specifications.
• Collaborate closely with electronics and software engineering teams to ensure seamless mechanical integration in multi-disciplinary systems.
• Oversee testing and validation of mechanical components and systems, including fit, form, and function assessments.
• Prepare comprehensive documentation for manufacturing, assembly, and quality assurance processes.

• Proficiency in 3D CAD modeling and drafting using tools such as SolidWorks (CSWP certification preferred), Creo, or Autodesk Inventor.
• Strong expertise in mechanical enclosure design, especially for IP65/IP68-rated products and rugged environments.
• Hands-on experience with prototyping techniques, including 3D printing, sheet metal fabrication, CNC machining, and injection molding.
• In-depth understanding of material selection, tolerance stack-up analysis, and mechanical design calculations (stress, thermal, vibration).
• Knowledge of DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and DFA (Design for Assembly) principles to optimize designs for cost-effective production.
• Familiarity with GD&T, technical drawing standards, and compliance with industry norms (ASME, ISO).
• Experience in preparing BOMs, assembly drawings, and detailed documentation for production and quality assurance.
• Proficiency in MS Office Suite for documentation, reporting, and communication across engineering functions.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset for tackling complex mechanical design and engineering challenges.
• Creativity and innovation in developing robust, efficient, and manufacturable mechanical solutions for high-performance applications.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills for working effectively with cross-functional teams, including electronics, software, and manufacturing.
• High attention to detail in 3D modeling, technical drawings, and documentation to ensure design accuracy and consistency.
• Proven ability to manage time, prioritize tasks, and adapt quickly in a fast-paced, research-driven product development environment.

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a closely related field.
• Additional certifications in mechanical design, CAD tools (e.g., CSWP – Certified SolidWorks Professional), or project management (e.g., PMP, Six Sigma) are a strong plus.
• Prior experience in defence, industrial, or ruggedized product development is highly desirable.
• Minimum of 10–12 years of relevant industry experience, with at least 3–5 years in a senior or leadership role in mechanical design.
• Proven track record of leading cross-functional teams and delivering complex, high-quality mechanical systems from concept to production.
