What you’ll do

- Lead mechanical and electromechanical product development from concept through release and sustaining engineering.
- Translate system, reliability, manufacturability, serviceability, and cost requirements into robust design solutions.
- Develop concepts, perform trade-off studies, and create detailed 3D models, drawings, BOMs, and specifications.
- Apply engineering analysis including structural, thermal, vibration, fluid, and gas flow evaluations to optimize designs.
- Perform or support FEA and other simulations to assess performance and mitigate technical risks.
- Select appropriate materials, manufacturing processes, coatings, and surface treatments based on application requirements.
- Apply GD&T, tolerance stack-up, DFM, DFA, and Design-to-Cost principles.
- Develop and execute feasibility studies, validation plans, and engineering tests.
- Analyse characterization and validation data and drive design improvements.
- Support prototype builds, qualification, release, and engineering change implementation.
- Investigate product and field issues using structured problem-solving methodologies.
- Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on quality, reliability, performance, manufacturability, and cost.
- Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, suppliers, and global stakeholders.
- Present technical solutions, risks, analyses, and validation results during design reviews.

Who we’re looking for

Minimum Qualifications:

- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering with 5+ years , or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering with 3+ years of relevant product development experience.
- Experience in mechanical design, engineering analysis, product validation, and manufacturing processes.
- Working knowledge of Teamcenter (TCE) / PLM , including BOM management, engineering change management (ECR/ECO), product release, and document control.
- Experience with PLM automation, workflow development, scripting, or digital engineering process improvements.

Preferred qualifications

- Proven experience leading mechanical designs from concept through production release and validation.
- Proficiency in NX, Creo, or equivalent 3D CAD tools.
- Strong knowledge of GD&T, tolerance stack-up analysis, and engineering documentation.
- Experience in mechanical design, material selection, manufacturing processes, and design optimization.
- Solid understanding of structural, thermal, vibration, fluid, and gas flow fundamentals.
- Experience with DFM, DFA, Design-to-Cost, and Reliability Engineering methodologies.
- Hands-on experience developing and executing engineering validation plans and tests.
- Proficiency in PLM systems (Teamcenter/TCE or equivalent), including change management, product release, workflows, and BOM management.
- Experience in PLM automation, workflow customization, scripting, API-based integrations, or digital engineering automation tools.
- Strong technical communication, design review, and problem-solving skills.
- Experience using structured methodologies such as 8D, 5-Why, Fishbone, DFMEA, and Root Cause Analysis.
