Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

Senior Mechanical Design Engineer (Electro-Mechanical Systems)

Role Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled Mechanical Design Engineer with 6–8 years of experience in electro-mechanical product development. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in designing and packaging electronic systems including cameras, PCB assemblies, and industrial enclosures, with a deep understanding of manufacturing processes and cross-functional collaboration.

Key Responsibilities

Electro-Mechanical Packaging

• Design and develop electro-mechanical assemblies including:

• Camera modules and vision systems
• Powder/liquid distribution units
• PCB mounting structures and brackets
• Wiring harness routing and connector integration

• Develop robust enclosure designs meeting IP69K standards for harsh environments

• Ensure proper sealing strategies (gaskets, O-rings, adhesives, venting solutions)

Thermal Management & Simulation

• Design and validate thermal solutions for electronic systems including PCBs and GPUs

• Perform CFD and thermal simulations using:

• SolidWorks Simulation / Flow Simulation ANSYS Workbench

• Analyze heat dissipation, airflow, and temperature distribution

• Correlate simulation results with physical testing and improve designs

• Work closely with electronics teams to ensure thermal reliability

Mechanical Design & Manufacturing

• Design parts and assemblies using:

• Sheet metal (bending, welding, tolerance stack-up)
• Machined components (CNC, precision fits) Plastics (injection molding, DFMA considerations)

• Apply DFM/DFA principles for cost-effective and manufacturable designs

• Select materials, finishes, and treatments based on environmental and functional requirements

PCB Integration & Assembly

• Define mechanical interfaces for PCB mounting and integration

• Ensure proper stack-up, grounding, shielding, and accessibility

• Collaborate with PCB design teams for layout constraints and enclosure fitment

Drawings & Documentation

• Create detailed 2D drawings with GD&T in accordance with standards

• Develop complete assembly instructions and work instructions

• Maintain BOMs, design documentation, and revision control

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Lead and participate in design discussions with:

• Electronics (PCB, firmware teams)
• Manufacturing and suppliers
• Quality and testing teams

• Drive design reviews and ensure closure of action items

• Communicate design intent clearly across teams

Validation & Testing

• Support prototype builds and validation testing

• Perform root cause analysis (RCA) and implement design improvements

• Ensure designs meet reliability, environmental, and regulatory requirements

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Bachelor's/Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering

• 6–8 years of experience in electro-mechanical product design

• Strong experience in:

• Enclosure design (preferably IP-rated systems)
• PCB packaging and integration
• Harness and connector design

• Proficiency in CAD tools (SolidWorks / Creo / NX or equivalent)

• Strong understanding of:

• GD&T and tolerance stack-up
• Manufacturing processes (sheet metal, machining, plastics)
• Thermal management of electronics

Preferred Skills

• Experience with IP69K or similar high-ingress protection designs

• Exposure to simulation tools (thermal/structural)

• Knowledge of EMI/EMC considerations in enclosure design

• Experience in industries such as AgTech, Automotive, Robotics, or Industrial Equipment

Key Competencies

• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills

• Ability to drive design discussions and decisions

• Effective cross-functional communication

• Attention to detail and documentation rigor

• Ownership mindset with ability to work independently

Nice to Have

• Experience working with global suppliers and manufacturing teams

• Exposure to product lifecycle management (PLM) tools

• Hands-on experience in prototype builds and testing
