Senior Engineer – Nuclear Application

Job Description:

Senior Engineer – Nuclear Application

Location: Pune
Experience: 4–8 years
Function: Product Design and Application Engineering
Education: B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering or a relevant engineering discipline

Position Overview

We are seeking a Senior Engineer to support the design, development, configuration and validation of diesel-generator systems for specialised and critical applications.

The role requires hands-on experience in mechanical design, generator subsystems, CAD modelling, engineering validation, failure-analysis methods and product-configuration management. The engineer will work with design, validation, manufacturing and supplier teams throughout the component and subsystem development lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

Generator System Design and Development

• Design and develop diesel-generator components and subsystems.
• Apply knowledge of generator subsystems, including cooling, exhaust, alternator and associated mechanical systems.
• Drive component and subsystem development from concept through validation and production release.
• Develop detailed 3D models, assemblies and engineering drawings.
• Perform solid modelling and surface modelling using Creo.
• Prepare and update 2D drawings using AutoCAD or comparable tools.
• Apply GD&T principles while preparing and reviewing drawings.
• Evaluate the interaction of components and subsystems with overall generator performance.
• Support design optimisation for specialised and critical applications.

Engineering Standards and Quality

• Follow applicable engineering standards and product-development processes.
• Prepare and review Design Validation Plans, Statements of Requirements and related engineering documentation.
• Apply DFA, DFMEA and SPC methodologies during product development and improvement.
• Conduct failure analysis and participate in structured problem-solving processes such as 8D.
• Assess material limits, component capability and design risks.
• Maintain accurate technical documentation and engineering records.

Testing and Validation

• Define key tests required to verify and validate components and subsystems.
• Guide validation teams in developing and executing test plans.
• Support installation and removal of engines or generator sets in test-cell environments.
• Coordinate with test engineering teams during troubleshooting and validation.
• Analyse test results and recommend design improvements.
• Support root-cause investigation of component or system failures.

Manufacturing and Supplier Coordination

• Work with manufacturing teams during prototype development, production trials and rework.
• Resolve design-for-manufacturing and assembly-related concerns.
• Coordinate with suppliers during component development and validation.
• Assess supplier capabilities and support technical reviews.
• Protect confidential and proprietary engineering information during external coordination.

Product Configuration and BOM Management

• Develop and maintain complete functional Bills of Materials.
• Manage EBOM and MBOM configurations, options and product variants.
• Maintain product-feature dependencies and configuration rules.
• Define compatibility rules and prevent invalid or incomplete product configurations.
• Support base-product configurations that can be customised through approved options and upgrades.
• Maintain BOM and configuration information in Windchill and Oracle.
• Support engineering changes, revision control and configuration governance.

Required Skills

• Mechanical design and product-development experience
• Diesel-generator or engine-system knowledge
• Creo 3 or later versions
• Solid and surface modelling
• AutoCAD and engineering drawing preparation
• GD&T
• Generator cooling, exhaust and alternator systems
• DFA, DFMEA and SPC
• DVP and validation planning
• Failure analysis and 8D problem-solving
• Test-cell and product-validation exposure
• Windchill configuration and BOM management
• EBOM and MBOM management
• Oracle BOM management
• Supplier and manufacturing coordination

Preferred Competencies

• Exposure to nuclear, defence, power-generation or other regulated applications
• Understanding of critical-equipment design and documentation
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting ability
• Configuration-management discipline
• Cross-functional coordination
• Technical communication
• Attention to safety, quality and documentation accuracy
