  • Ideate and generate
    innovative product concepts
    based on user (Armed Forces) inputs.
  • Design, develop, and refine
    mechanical systems and components
    for advanced defence products.
  • Conduct
    experimental design
    and create rapid prototypes for testing and validation.
  • Perform
    rigorous testing and validation
    of prototypes to ensure performance, durability, and safety compliance.
  • Research and apply
    cutting-edge materials
    , manufacturing processes, and emerging technologies to optimize designs.
  • Produce
    detailed 3D models, engineering drawings, and simulations
    using CAD and FEA tools.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (electronics, software, manufacturing) to ensure seamless integration.

Requirements

Must-Haves:

  • 2–5 years of experience
    in mechanical product design and development, preferably in defence or related industries.
  • Expertise in CAD tools (e.g.,
    SolidWorks, Fusion 360
    ) and simulation software (e.g.,
    ANSYS, MATLAB
    ).
  • Strong knowledge of materials science, tolerances, and manufacturing processes like machining, casting, 3D printing, and sheet metal fabrication.
  • Proven experience in experimental prototyping and conducting rigorous tests to validate designs.
  • Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills, with a hands-on approach.
  • Demonstrated ability to own projects and take responsibility for delivering results under tight deadlines.

Nice-to-Haves:

  • Experience with defence systems or similar mission-critical products.
  • Knowledge of mechanical-electrical system integration (e.g., actuators, sensors, motors).
  • Familiarity with GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing).
