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:

1. Functionality: Ensure the design meets the intended technical purpose.
2. Ergonomics: Optimize usability and human interaction.
3. Robustness: Ensure structural integrity under operational conditions.
4. Reliability: Design for consistent performance over the product lifecycle.
5. Manufacturing: Incorporate DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and DFA (Design for Assembly).
6. 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.
