LOCATION: Ahmedabad
DIRECT REPORTING: Director - Swelore
FUNCTIONAL REPORTING: Director - Swelore

POSITION DETAILS:
Position Summary

Design Manager responsible for leading engineering for integration design documentation for product lines (Plunger Pumps,
Metering Pumps, and Custom Pump Packages). The role is both hands-on and strategic — the manager will independently
create structured documentation from existing tribal knowledge, drive process implementation, and build the foundation
for a self-sufficient design team aligned with CIRCOR's engineering standards.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Engineering Integration & Documentation:

• Lead the knowledge capture and documentation of legacy design practices, calculations, and engineering
processes from existing experts.

• Develop and standardize SOPs, design checklists, and calculation sheets for all product lines (Plunger & Metering
pumps).

• Document design logic, drawing standards, and BOM practices to ensure complete transparency and traceability.

• Establish structured revision control, digital drawing management, and engineering document archiving.

Engineering Execution & Ownership

• Drive end-to-end engineering execution for assigned product lines — from order handover to final drawing/BOM
release.

• Ensure targeted on-time delivery and FTR (First Time Right) quality for all engineering deliverables.

• Validate BOMs against actual assemblies; ensure no undocumented or hidden components/processes.

• Support production, procurement, and testing teams for technical clarifications and NCR/ECR closure.

Process Implementation & Governance

• Introduce disciplined engineering processes and ensure consistent adherence by the team.

• Audit ongoing projects to verify compliance to documentation, drawing, and BOM standards.

• Identify and eliminate redundant or manual steps; initiate digitization of key calculations and workflows.

• Enforce traceability through structured change management (ECR/ECN process).

Team Leadership & Capability Building

• Act as both Doer and Leader — personally drive documentation and guide others by example.

• Mentor engineers to build technical depth, process discipline, and design ownership.

• Establish a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

• Prepare succession pipeline and future structure for the Engineering function.

Cross-functional & Strategic Responsibilities

• Collaborate closely with Sales, Project Management, SCM, and Quality for order inputs, feasibility, and design
optimization.

• Participate in product cost reduction, standardization, and VAVE initiatives.

• Contribute to long-term engineering capability roadmap and digitization initiatives.

Category Requirement
Technical Expertise: -

• Sound knowledge of Pump Engineering (Nice to have: Knowledge of Plunger and Metering Pumps, Understanding of hydraulic, mechanical, and sealing design. Familiar with ASME, ASTM, API 675/676 standards.)
Process & Documentation

• Skilled in documenting processes, preparing SOPs, calculation sheets, and knowledge manuals.

• Ability to identify tribal knowledge and convert it into structured, auditable documents.
Leadership &Communication

• Strong leadership presence, clear communicator, capable of working independently and leading
by example.
Software Tools

• Proficiency in AutoCAD and Solid Edge. Experience in ERP/PLM tools (SAP, ECTR, or equivalent).
Analytical Ability

• Capable of performing mechanical design calculations, reviewing designs, and validating
results.
Behavioral Competencies

• Process discipline, ownership mindset, team mentoring, and structured working.
Cross-functional Collaboration

• Comfortable working with Production, SCM, and Project teams to resolve design challenges.

Must-Have Attributes

• Self-driven and independent — a "Doer + Leader" capable of building systems from scratch.

• Ability to ask the right questions to extract technical knowledge and document legacy processes.

• Enforces process discipline — ensures zero deviation from standards and documentation practices.

• Transparent and accountable; ensures BOM accuracy and alignment with physical product.

• Strong analytical and communication skills; leads by example in quality and ownership.

Functional Skills & Knowledge:

• Strong ownership and leadership in ETO execution.

• Proven ability to manage product lines independently and lead a sub-team.

• Proficiency in CAD tools (Solid Edge), ERP (SAP), and PLM (ECTR).

• Knowledge of API 676, ASTM standards, and GD&T (ASME Y14.5).

• Strong tracking, documentation, and report preparation skills.

• Risk identification and early-stage problem escalation.

• Team mentoring, workload balancing, and process improvement focus.

• Exposure to customer requirements, prebid support, and interdepartmental communication.

Education & Experience

• B.E. / B.Tech – Mechanical Engineering (mandatory).

• 10–15 years of experience in pumps or rotating equipment.

• Experience with Plunger & Metering pump and system packaging preferred.

• Exposure to fabrication, casting, machining drawings, and order-based customization.

High Impact Behaviors

• Strategic decision-making with long-term integration mindset.

• Effective communicator across levels — clear, structured, and assertive.

• Promotes documentation culture, standardization, and data integrity.

• Fosters a learning environment; develops people alongside process maturity.

• Demonstrates adaptive learning and continuous improvement orientation.
