Position: Senior R&D Engineer

Experience: 8-15Years

Location: Peenya, Bangalore

Role Overview:

The R&D Engineer will contribute to developing new concepts, building prototypes, validating ideas, and improving mechanical systems used in Special Purpose Machines. The role fits an engineer who enjoys experimenting, creating proof-of-concept models, and converting innovative ideas into practical, testable solutions. The engineer will work closely with the R&D team, design teams, and production teams to transform concepts into functioning prototypes with clear documentation.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Participate in brainstorming sessions, idea evaluation, and feasibility studies.
  • Develop early-stage concept sketches, mechanism ideas, and functional layouts.
  • Build Proof of Concept (POC) models to test fundamental principles before full design.
  • Evaluate multiple design approaches and suggest the most viable solution based on performance, cost, and manufacturability.
  • Convert approved concepts into detailed prototype designs using SolidWorks.
  • Work hands-on to build mechanical prototypes with support from fabrication and assembly teams.
  • Conduct functional testing, endurance trials, and validation checks on prototypes.
  • Capture test data, observe failure modes, and support iterative improvements.
  • Coordinate material procurement, fabricated parts, and bought-out components required for prototype builds.
  • Prepare 3D models, assemblies, and detailed drawings for internal builds and vendor development.
  • Perform basic engineering calculations, tolerance checks, and mechanism evaluations.
  • Support design optimisation to improve performance, manufacturability, and cost reduction.
  • Maintain complete documentation for each prototype stage: concept notes, test results, revisions, and POC outcomes.
  • Prepare test reports, engineering change notes, and validation sheets.
  • Ensure proper version control and traceability of design evolution.
  • Contribute to creating instruction manuals, assembly guidelines, and technical write-ups.
  • Follow R&D documentation standards and ensure all work is properly recorded for future reference.
  • Work with production, QC, automation, and procurement teams during prototype builds.
  • Discuss design feasibility with senior engineers and implement feedback from the review.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

  • Strong CAD proficiency (SolidWorks).
  • Hands-on experience with prototype build, testing, and basic troubleshooting.
  • Good understanding of mechanisms and machine elements.
  • Documentation skills, including test logs, change notes, and reports.
