Mechanical Design Engineer

We are looking for a highly skilled and creative Mechanical Design Engineer with end-to-end product development experience—from concept to commercialization. This role is critical in building robust, high-performance automation systems.

The ideal candidate should combine strong engineering fundamentals with practical manufacturing experience and the ability to translate ideas into scalable, production-ready products.

• Lead complete product development lifecycle: concept → design → analysis → prototyping → manufacturing → validation
• Develop innovative mechanical concepts for automation systems and industrial products
• Create detailed 3D models, assemblies, and manufacturing drawings using SolidWorks
• Ensure designs are optimized for performance, cost, manufacturability, and scalability

• Perform design calculations (strength, load, fatigue, tolerance stack-ups, etc.)
• Conduct simulations (FEA, motion analysis, thermal where required)
• Validate designs through engineering principles and practical testing

• Work closely with vendors for fabrication, machining, and assembly
• Select appropriate materials, processes, and manufacturing methods
• Negotiate pricing, timelines, and quality standards with suppliers
• Ensure smooth transition from design to production

• Oversee prototype development and testing
• Identify design flaws and iterate quickly
• Ensure product meets performance, safety, and reliability standards

• Work with electrical, controls, and software teams for integrated system design
• Interact with customers to understand requirements and provide technical solutions
• Support installation, commissioning, and troubleshooting if required

• 3–8+ years of experience in mechanical product design / industrial automation / capital equipment
• Strong expertise in mechanical design fundamentals (structures, mechanisms, materials, manufacturing processes)
• Hands-on experience in end-to-end product development
• Advanced proficiency in SolidWorks (assemblies, drawings, sheet metal, weldments)
• Experience with FEA/simulation tools (e.g., ANSYS, SolidWorks Simulation)
• Strong understanding of DFM/DFA (Design for Manufacturing & Assembly)
• Experience working with vendors, fabricators, and machine shops

• Experience in automation, robotics, packaging, or coating systems
• Strong aesthetic sense for designing clean, high-tech, and professional products
• Practical exposure to shop floor, fabrication, and assembly
• Ability to balance engineering perfection with cost and timelines
• Entrepreneurial mindset and ownership-driven attitude

• Mechanical Design & Engineering Calculations
• CAD Modeling & Drafting
• Structural Analysis & Simulation
• Problem-solving and First-Principles Thinking
• Vendor Management & Negotiation
• Communication with Customers & Cross-functional Teams

• Opportunity to build real, impactful industrial products from scratch
• High ownership and direct collaboration with the founding team
• Exposure to cutting-edge automation technologies
• Fast-paced, innovation-driven work environment
• Competitive compensation + growth opportunities
