We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to join our dynamic engineering team. As a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer, you will be responsible for leading and contributing to the design, development, and optimization of mechanical systems and components. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure that designs meet performance, quality, and cost requirements while adhering to project timelines.
Key Responsibilities:
Design and Development: Lead the design and development of mechanical systems, products, and components using CAD tools (such as SolidWorks, CATIA, or AutoCAD). Produce high-quality design documentation, including technical drawings, specifications, and assembly instructions.
Technical Leadership: Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers and design teams, ensuring best practices in design, testing, and implementation.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with electrical engineers, software engineers, and other departments to ensure seamless integration of mechanical systems with other subsystems.
Prototyping and Testing: Oversee the creation of prototypes, conducting tests, and analyzing results to verify designs meet functional and performance requirements. Lead failure analysis and troubleshooting efforts when needed.
Continuous Improvement: Identify areas for design optimization and cost reduction. Implement design for manufacturability (DFM) and design for assembly (DFA) principles.
Compliance and Standards: Ensure designs adhere to relevant industry standards, safety regulations, and company policies. Prepare and review engineering reports, technical documents, and specifications to ensure compliance.
Project Management Support: Assist in the development of project plans, including resource allocation, scheduling, and tracking of design milestones. Ensure that projects are completed on time, within budget, and in accordance with quality standards.
Innovation: Stay up to date with the latest trends and advancements in mechanical design, materials, and technologies. Introduce new ideas and techniques to improve design processes and product performance.
Required Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field (Master's preferred).
- 5+ years of experience in mechanical design, with a strong background in product development.
- Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, CATIA, AutoCAD).
- Strong knowledge of mechanical engineering principles, materials science, and manufacturing processes.
- Experience with FEA (Finite Element Analysis) and simulation tools to validate designs.
- Hands-on experience in prototyping and testing mechanical components.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work independently and in a team environment.
- Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
- Experience with design for manufacturability (DFM), design for assembly (DFA), and cost reduction techniques.
