-Strong understanding of materials, manufacturing processes, and mechanical systems.

Key Traits

Curiosity- Drives exploration, learning, and innovation; constantly asking What if and Why not

Creativity & Innovation- Enables novel ideas, effective conceptualization, and user-friendly, future-ready designs.

Perseverance- Stays focused through long development cycles, overcomes design roadblocks, and continuously iterates for better solutions.

Passion- Genuine enthusiasm for engineering and design; fuels creativity, commitment, and long-term growth.

Risk-Taking- Embraces uncertainty and is willing to experiment with bold ideas to unlock breakthrough solutions.

Responsibility Area & Major Activities

Mechanical Design Benchmarking & Compliance

Conduct thorough benchmarking of mechanical systems, components, and architectures in alignment with compliance requirements and industry standards.
Ensure all designs adhere to applicable safety, quality, and regulatory standards (e.g., ISO, CE, UL).

System Architecture & Planning

Develop mechanical architecture considering scalability, modularity, and manufacturability.
Prepare schematic drafts and layouts based on functional and performance requirements.
Define materials, makes, and structural designs aligned with cost and performance objectives.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (CFT) for the integration of hardware systems.

Conceptualization & Innovation

Apply design thinking methodologies to create innovative solutions during the concept development phase.
Translate user and stakeholder inputs into functional design concepts.
Evaluate multiple design approaches and perform trade-off analysis.

Component & Supplier Evaluation

Research and evaluate standard mechanical components from multiple suppliers.
Perform cost, quality, and reliability analysis of supplier offerings.
Work closely with procurement and supplier quality teams for sourcing and validation.

3D Modelling Using the 6D Principle

Create high-quality 3D models following the 6D principles:

Functionality: Ensure the design meets the intended technical purpose.
Ergonomics: Optimize usability and human interaction.
Robustness: Ensure structural integrity under operational conditions.
Reliability: Design for consistent performance over the product lifecycle.
Manufacturing: Incorporate DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and DFA (Design for Assembly).
Aesthetics: Maintain a balance of form and function for user appeal.

Collaboration & Documentation

Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams, including electrical, controls, and industrial design.
Generate detailed engineering drawings, BOMs, and design documentation.
Support testing, prototyping, and validation activities.
