About the Role

We are hiring on behalf of our client for the position of Mechanical Design & Execution Engineer with strong expertise in below mentioned responsibilities.

Candidates must attend the interview at the client location. Upon selection, the employee will work directly from the client site in Chennai. The exact work location will be finalized based on the client’s requirements.

Key Responsibilities

1. Design & Documentation

• Develop compact, precise, and efficient machine designs tailored to customer specifications.
• Prepare ISO-compliant design documentation — including Bill of Materials (BOMs), Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and detailed exploded views with part numbering and reference drawings.
• Perform detailed design calculations for:

o Motor and gearbox selection (torque, speed, and load analysis) especially for belt/roller conveyors, lifters, loaders & unloaders.

o Linear motion systems (LM rails, ball screws, conveyor systems, loaders, couplings, pulleys, timing belts)

o Pneumatic systems (actuator sizing, air consumption, pressure/flow calculations)

• Conduct BOM comparison, analysis, and equivalent part replacement to ensure cost-effectiveness and availability of components.

2. Assembly, Testing & Troubleshooting

• Lead machine assembly and integration with assigned manpower, ensuring timely completion of build and trials.
• Troubleshoot mechanical and motion-related issues, identify root causes, and implement design modifications to enhance reliability and performance.
• Participate actively in installation, commissioning, and testing at both in-house and client locations, including occasional night shifts during critical project phases.

3. Project Coordination & Execution

• Independently manage assigned project tasks, track progress, and prepare technical progress reports.
• Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams—Electrical, Controls, Procurement, and Production—to ensure seamless project execution.
• Coordinate with external vendors, OEMs, and fabricators for component procurement and technical validation.

4. Material & Manufacturing Process Expertise

• Apply sound knowledge of material properties, heat treatment, surface finishing, machining tolerances, and manufacturing feasibility during design.
• Integrate OEM-standard components (e.g., motors, actuators, sensors, pneumatics) into machine assemblies with proper validation and fitment checks.

5. Quality, Risk & Compliance

• Perform Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) and identify potential design risks early in the development phase.
• Ensure compliance with engineering standards, quality norms, and safety guidelines.
• Prepare detailed 2D manufacturing drawings with GD&T annotations as per ISO/ASME standards.

Essential Technical Skills

• 3D Modelling & 2D Detailing: Proficient in SolidWorks and AutoCAD, including GD&T.
• Machine Design: Strong experience in Special Purpose Machine (SPM) development, robotics interfaces, and pneumatic/actuator selection.
• Engineering Calculations: Proficiency in mechanical system sizing, torque-speed relationships, and component selection.
• BOM Management: Skilled in BOM analysis, comparison, and cost-effective part replacement.
• Manufacturing Knowledge: Understanding of sheet metal design, machining processes, surface treatments, and material behavior.
• Excellent communication, documentation, and project coordination skills.
• Strong leadership ability during machine assembly, testing, and installation phases.

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering or Automation Engineering
• 5–9 years of experience in mechanical design, preferably in an industrial automation or SPM manufacturing environment.
• Proficient in pneumatic systems, motor and sensor integration, and BOM preparation.
• Hands-on experience in machine assembly, debugging, and design optimization.
• Strong knowledge of GD&T, material selection, and manufacturing processes.
• Proficiency in English; knowledge of Chinese is an advantage but not mandatory.
