You will be problem-solving on new product development, identifying and resolving root causes of field failures and implementing effective cost reduction opportunities.
What you will do:
- Designing (70%) & testing (30%) of new components and products, sometimes as sole contributor but often as part of a team of contributors.
- Manage assigned mechanical design projects, adhering to project timelines, budget constraints, and quality standards.
- Perform day-to-day CAD (3D & 2D) activities and documentation.
- Conduct periodic design review with mechanical teams & cross functional teams.
- Reviewing and analyzing solutions to achieve the best outcome for performance/cost/schedule
- Product testing (DVT) & Testing proof-of-concepts and prototypes for performance
- Failure analysis and root cause identification
- Component review and approval, including global travel to be on-site at vendors during pre- production stage.
- Generating own (and reviewing others’) documentation, including concept proposals, analysis reports, component specifications, review minutes
- Ensure quality by design.
- Product testing (DVT) & Testing proof-of-concepts and prototypes for performance
- Design and execute comprehensive test plans (Inhouse and external lab) to verify mechanical performance against design specifications, including static and dynamic loading, fatigue testing, environmental testing, and reliability testing.
- Analyze test data, identify potential issues, and implement design improvements to address any deficiencies.
Who you are and what you bring:
- Bachelor's Degree (or higher qualification) in Mechanical Engineering
- 12+ years (with BE / BS) or 8+ years (with Masters) of industry work experience in product design & development.
- Hands-on experience in Designing electromechanical products
- Good exposure on UL/IEC and related standards. Experience on UL1741, IL9540, UL 9540A will be an added advantage
- Experience in testing below international standards is desirable (but not limited to).
- Inverters UL 1741, Electrical connectors UL 6703, UL 9703, EN 60512, EN 60352; Polymers UL 94, UL 746C.
- Ingress protection IEC 60529/IPXX/NEMA Enclosure standards
- Hands on is preparing mechanical mock-ups, Prototypes, Electro-mechanical assemblies, Cable
- Good Exposure on plastics, Sheetmetal, casting part design and manufacturing process
- Good understanding on cable assemblies, ECAD/MCAD integrations
- Good exposure on structural and thermal design considerations
- Good Exposure on DFX for high volume production
- Good exposure on prototype techniques for Design development and verification
- Expertise in SolidWorks and EPDM. Knowledge on any other CAD packages will be an added advantage.
- Exposure on CAE tools is an added advantage.
- In-depth knowledge and understanding of Design for Manufacture (DFM) of parts made through injection moulding, sheet metal, stamping, milling/turning
- Experience using Computer-Aided development tools (SolidWorks)
- Clear communication - verbal and written
- Experience in the design and sustaining activities on high-volume products (+500k pa) would be a plus and also previous employment in high-power and consumer products industries would be a plus.
