Mechanical Design Engineer

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

As part of the R&D team, the employee should be able to work independently & perform following duties to support the team's goals but not limited to the following:

• Understanding of Mechanical design & requirements of the system/product.
• Own & lead the investigation of production and field issues/failures.
• Understand the technical issues and drive the root cause analysis.
• Collaborate with engineering and global production team to provide design solutions.
• Plan the timelines & execute the project for closures as per commitments.
• Research design options for product enhancements, cost, durability & production yield improvements & perform necessary experiments to determine potential design feasibility.
• Evaluate researched options from various aspects (manufacturability, usability, ID, DFMEA, cost) & enable cross- functional teams to take decisions on concept directions.
• Perform design simulations, design calculations, tolerance analysis & DFMEA to have robust design.
• Prototype, build and execute test protocols to verify the design solutions.
• Have a system level thinking & partner closely with cross functional teams like Industrial design, Electrical, Manufacturing, Marketing, Service, Quality, Regulatory teams as needed.
• Address component obsolescence by identifying, evaluating, and qualifying alternative mechanical/electromechanical parts or materials.
• Own the Engineering Change Order (ECO) process from impact assessment to implementation, ensuring accurate documentation.
• Support in compliance testing and country registrations for products in production.
• Work efficiently with cross functional and production teams to deliver the assigned task/project with quality within the timelines.
