• Design mechanical components, assemblies, and systems using CAD software (e.g., Solid Works, AutoCAD, CATIA, Creo).
• Create and interpret technical drawings, schematics, and specifications.
• Develop prototypes and conduct design validation and optimization.

• Perform engineering analysis including stress, thermal, vibration, and fluid flow simulations (FEA/CFD).
• Evaluate design feasibility, performance, and safety in compliance with standards and regulations.
• Conduct root-cause investigations and implement design improvements.

• Develop test procedures and oversee mechanical system testing.
• Analyze test data, prepare technical reports, and ensure compliance with quality standards.
• Collaborate with manufacturing teams to ensure product quality and reliability.

• Manage engineering projects from concept to production, ensuring timelines and budgets are met.
• Coordinate with cross-functional teams including electrical, manufacturing, and procurement engineers.
• Prepare documentation, technical reports, and presentations for stakeholders.

• Oversee fabrication, assembly, and installation of mechanical equipment.
• Provide technical support to production teams and troubleshoot mechanical issues.
• Implement cost-saving measures, process improvements, and lean manufacturing practices.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
• Proficiency in CAD tools (Solid Works, Creo, AutoCAD).
• Knowledge of FEA/CFD tools (ANSYS, Abaqus, COMSOL).
• Strong understanding of engineering principles (mechanics, thermodynamics, materials).
• Familiarity with manufacturing processes (machining, casting, welding, 3D printing).

• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
• Project management and organizational skills.
• Creativity and attention to detail.

• Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license or pursuing licensure.
• Experience in industry-specific standards (ASME, ISO, ASTM).
• Experience with automation, robotics, or embedded systems.
