Role: Senior Mechanical Engineer – Product Development (EV Infrastructure)
- Location: Bengaluru, India (HSR Layout/Regional Office)
- Experience: 5 – 8 Years
- Employment Type: Full-Time | On-Roll
- Work Model: 6 Days (Mon-Fri Office | Sat WFH)
- Timings: 10:00 AM – 6:30 PM
About Company
It is a high-growth, Pre-Series A funded EV infrastructure startup on a mission to build India's largest universal charging network. Backed by
Inflection Point Ventures and
Venture Catalysts, we partner with marquee clients like
Amazon, IOCL, and VinFast. We are looking for a hands-on Senior Mechanical Engineer to lead the design of our next-generation EV charging hardware.
The Role
As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you will be the backbone of our hardware development. You will bridge the gap between complex power electronics and rugged, outdoor-ready enclosures. You will own the product lifecycle from initial concept and CAD modeling to thermal simulation, prototyping, and mass production.
Key Responsibilities
- Product Design & Enclosure Engineering
- Lead the mechanical design of EV chargers using SolidWorks/Creo, focusing on structural integrity and aesthetics.
- Research and select materials suitable for harsh environmental exposure (UV, heat, rain).
- Design high-performance IP-rated enclosures (IP65/67) with advanced sealing and gasketing solutions.
- Optimize designs for DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and DFA (Design for Assembly) to ensure cost-efficient mass production.
- Thermal & Structural Simulation
- Perform hand calculations and FEA (Finite Element Analysis) for stress, impact resistance, and bolted joints.
- Design and validate Thermal Management Systems (heatsinks, airflow, and ventilation) to handle high-power electronics.
- Use simulation data to reduce product weight while maintaining structural safety.
- Prototyping & Vendor Management
- Manage relationships with vendors for Sheet Metal fabrication, CNC machining, and Injection Molding.
- Oversee prototype assembly and conduct rigorous physical testing to validate simulation results.
- Identify and fix design flaws during the Alpha/Beta testing phases.
- Documentation & Compliance
- Maintain detailed BOM (Bill of Materials), technical drawings, and design reports.
- Ensure all designs meet Indian and International safety standards for EV infrastructure.
Required Qualifications & Skills
- Education: B.E / B.Tech or M.Tech in Mechanical Engineering.
- Experience: 5 - 8 years in mechanical design (Electronics, Automotive, or Energy sector preferred).
- Technical Mastery: Strong command over Sheet Metal design and fabrication (bending, welding, forming).
- Software: Expert proficiency in SolidWorks or Creo.
- Simulation: Proven experience in FEA and Thermal Simulation tools.
- Domain Knowledge: Deep understanding of IP-rated enclosure design and DFM/DFA principles.
Preferred Skills
- Familiarity with PCB thermal packaging.
- Prior experience in the EV or Renewable Energy industry (e.g., Solar Inverters, Power Banks).
- Exposure to automotive environmental testing standards (AIS/ISO).
Why Join
- Innovation at Core: Work on patented technology that is shaping the future of Indian mobility.
- High Visibility: Direct collaboration with the Founders and CTO (Author of NITI Aayog EV Handbook).
- Growth: Opportunity to lead a team as the company scales from Pre-Series A to Series A.
Skills: ip-rated enclosure design and related sealing techniques.,engineering calculations for structural strength, bolted joints, thermal management, and fluid flo,5-8 years of experience in mechanical design, preferably in the electronics, automotive, or energy sector,bachelor's or master's degree in mechanical engineering,sheet metal design and fabrication techniques (cutting, bending, forming, welding).,dfm/dfa principle,fea (finite element analysis),cad tools (solidworks, creo) for 3d design and 2d drawings
