Job Overview

We are looking for a Senior Design Engineer – Product Design & Development with strong hands-on experience in mechanical design, SolidWorks, reverse engineering, pneumatic systems and new product development.

This is an end-to-end product development role involving concept development, reverse engineering, 3D modelling, prototyping, testing, validation, manufacturing and production support.

Key Responsibilities

Mechanical & Product Design

• Design and develop automotive, pneumatic, mechanical and industrial products using SolidWorks.
• Create 3D models, part drawings, assembly drawings, exploded views and manufacturing drawings.
• Prepare and manage BOMs and engineering documentation.
• Apply GD&T, tolerance stack-up, fits, clearances and material selection.
• Ensure designs are reliable, manufacturable, serviceable and cost-effective.

Reverse Engineering & New Product Development

• Reverse engineer automotive, pneumatic and mechanical components and assemblies.
• Study existing products and identify design parameters and improvement opportunities.
• Perform measurements, material identification, tolerance evaluation and functional benchmarking.
• Convert physical components, samples and concepts into accurate 3D CAD models and manufacturing drawings.
• Drive improvements in cost, weight, durability, localization and design simplification.

Pneumatic System Design

• Design pneumatic circuits and systems involving valves, actuators, reservoirs, manifolds, fittings and hoses.
• Select pneumatic components based on pressure, flow, temperature and application requirements.
• Troubleshoot leakage, pressure drop, flow restriction and system-performance issues.
• Integrate pneumatic systems with mechanical, electrical and electronic components where required.

Prototype Development & Testing

• Plan and execute prototype fabrication, assembly and testing.
• Develop testing procedures, test rigs, validation plans and acceptance criteria.
• Analyze prototype and field-test results and implement design modifications.
• Perform engineering calculations, pressure calculations, flow analysis and failure/root-cause analysis.
• Ensure products meet functional, safety, durability and quality requirements.

Manufacturing & Production Support

• Apply Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles.
• Work with machining, fabrication, welding, sheet metal, injection moulding, casting, forging, extrusion and 3D printing processes.
• Coordinate with production and quality teams to resolve manufacturing and assembly issues.
• Support tooling, fixtures, jigs and inspection requirements.
• Drive cost optimization without compromising performance or reliability.
• Support transition from prototype to serial production.

Vendor & Cross-Functional Coordination

• Coordinate with vendors for component development and sourcing.
• Communicate drawings, specifications, tolerances and quality requirements.
• Evaluate supplier capabilities and support development of new components.
• Resolve technical, quality, fitment and performance issues with suppliers.
• Work closely with Production, Quality, Procurement, Sales, Service and Field teams.

Required Qualifications & Skills

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automobile Engineering, Production Engineering or related field.
• 2–3 years of hands-on experience in mechanical product design and development.
• Strong experience in reverse engineering and new product development.
• Advanced proficiency in SolidWorks, including part modelling, assembly modelling, sheet metal, surfacing and manufacturing drawings.
• Practical knowledge of pneumatic systems and component selection.
• Experience in automotive, industrial equipment, machinery, pneumatic products or related sectors.
• Strong knowledge of manufacturing processes.
• Good understanding of GD&T, tolerance stack-up, material selection and BOM management.
• Experience in prototype development, testing, validation, troubleshooting and production support.
• Experience working with suppliers, vendors and manufacturing teams.
• Comfortable working on the shop floor, at vendor premises and during field trials.

Good to Have

• FEA, CFD, flow simulation and pressure-system calculations.
• Knowledge of hydraulic, electromechanical and automotive systems.
• DFMEA, PFMEA, DFM, DFA, APQP, PPAP and root-cause analysis.
• PLM/PDM and engineering change-management systems.
• ISO, automotive and product-quality standards.
• Experience taking a product from a physical sample or initial concept through commercial production.

Salary & Career Growth

CTC: ₹5,00,000 – ₹6,50,000 per annum, based on demonstrated hands-on engineering capability.

The role offers a clear career path toward Design Lead / Head of Product Design, with direct ownership of live products and exposure to the complete product-development lifecycle.

Why Join?

• Work on real automotive and pneumatic products from concept to production.
• Own complete product-development projects.
• Gain hands-on exposure to reverse engineering, SolidWorks, pneumatics, prototyping and validation.
• Work directly with vendors, manufacturing teams and field applications.
• Exposure to fast-paced product development and technical decision-making.
• See your designs manufactured and implemented on real commercial vehicle applications.

How to Apply

Candidates with relevant experience in Mechanical Design, Product Design, Automotive Design, Pneumatic Systems, SolidWorks and New Product Development are encouraged to apply.
