• Lead technical troubleshooting and support root cause analysis in manufacturing or site issues
• Mentor the team, conduct performance reviews, and define training/upskilling programs
• Support commercial teams with inputs for proposals, compliance statements, and client submissions
• Spearhead R&D and NPD initiatives to support CRA's product innovation goals

Requirements

• 10+ years in mechanical design and engineering, ideally in custom or process-based equipment
• Proven team leadership experience; ability to build and manage multidisciplinary design functions
• Deep understanding of fabrication, standards, and plant/mechanical systems
• Experience with design tools: AutoCAD, Plant 3D, SolidWorks/Inventor, and FEA platforms
• Strong coordination ability across functions (project, production, procurement, quality, clients)
• Exposure to simulation/virtual validation and standards like ASME, ISO, EN 13480, etc.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation package
• Generous leave policy
• Comprehensive group medical insurance
• Professional development opportunities and a dedicated training budget
