The HR Folks

We're looking for a Design Engineer who understands the world of CAD and engineering software, someone who can translate complex mechanical engineering workflows into intuitive, powerful interfaces that feel native to the engineers who use them.

This is not about disrupting how engineers work, it's about amplifying them. You'll design desktop applications and web platforms that mechanical engineers recognize and trust, drawing inspiration from tools like SolidWorks, Autodesk Fusion, CATIA, and ANSYS. You'll work directly with our CEO and CTO, collaborating daily with mechanical engineers to craft experiences that feel intuitive from day one.

You'll own the end-to-end design experience: from user research and interaction design to visual design and branding. You'll help define and evolve Hanomi's design language where CAD wireframes meet abstract art, technical precision meets creative possibility, and every element asks:Does this show mastery? Does this inspire innovation? Does an engineer see themselves here?

Responsibilities

Product Design

• Design and iterate on our desktop application and web platform, creating interfaces that

mechanical engineers find intuitive and powerful

• Study and internalize the UX patterns of established CAD tools (SolidWorks, Fusion 360,

CATIA, NX, ANSYS) to create familiar, frictionless workflows

• Own the complete design process from user research and wireframing through high-fidelity

prototypes and production-ready specifications

• Conduct user research with mechanical engineers to deeply understand their workflows,

pain points, and mental models

• Create interaction patterns for complex CAD operations: file handling, assembly navigation,

tolerance specification, drawing generation, and manufacturing context input

Brand & Visual Design

• Evolve and maintain Hanomi's visual identity across all touchpoints product, marketing,

sales materials, and documentation

• Translate our design language (orange-driven, CAD wireframes meeting abstract art,

technical precision meeting creative possibility) into cohesive visual experiences

• Create visual assets that resonate with engineering audiences where every element

communicates mastery and inspires innovation

Collaboration

• Work directly with the CEO and CTO on product vision and strategy

• Collaborate closely with mechanical engineers on the team to ensure designs respect and

enhance engineering workflows

• Partner with engineering to ensure designs are implemented with fidelity and technical

feasibility

• Contribute to defining product requirements and prioritization based on user insight

Requirements

Experience

• 4–6 years of experience in product design, UX design, or design engineering

• Previous work at CAD, PLM, simulation, or engineering software companies (e.g., Autodesk,Dassault Systèmes, Siemens, PTC, ANSYS, Altair, or similar)

• Proven experience designing desktop applications understanding the unique patterns and

constraints of native app design vs. web

• Strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end ownership of design projects, from research

through shipped product

Skills

• Deep understanding of engineering workflows and the mental models of mechanical

engineers, manufacturing engineers, or designers

• Mastery of design tools: Figma for UI/UX design; familiarity with prototyping tools

• Experience with design systems building and maintaining component libraries that scale

• Strong visual design skills with attention to typography, color, spacing, and hierarchy

• Ability to communicate design decisions clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders

Mindset

• Comfort operating in an early-stage environment with ambiguity and rapidly shifting priorities

• Genuine curiosity about manufacturing, engineering, and how physical products are

designed and made

• Willing to relocate to Bangalore and work in-person with the team

Preferred (Bonus)

• Front-end development skills (React, TypeScript, Electron, or similar)—ability to prototype or

implement your own designs

• Experience with 3D visualization, WebGL, or rendering technologies

• Background in mechanical engineering, industrial design, or related technical field

• Experience designing for GD&T, tolerancing, or technical drawing workflows

• Prior startup experience or founding experience

• Develop and optimize computational geometry algorithms for reading a 3D CAD model
• Rapidly prototype, test, and refine geometric algorithms and software implementations
• Integrate and optimize 3D libraries into our software applications
• work closely with mechanical engineers to iterate on your algorithms
• while the algorithms drive the heuristics, you’ll also get to work with LLMs at scale for solving this very niche problem

What you bring to the table

• Strong expertise in computational geometry algorithms, CAD kernels, and geometric modeling
• Solid proficiency in C++ or Python; experience with Go, React, or Rust is a significant bonus
• Proven ability to quickly prototype, iterate, and deliver effective solutions
• Excellent problem-solving skills and clear communication
• Familiarity with mechanical engineering, CAD software, or related domains highly preferred
• Familiarity with building agents and LLMops

• Own and Maintain our interface. Built in Go, React and an event-driven architecture under the hood
• We work with complex data types and relations. Design our database (postgres) and maintain our S3 buckets.
• Build an infra which will work super-fast on cloud servers and runs reliably on-prem
• Develop a user-centric platform by helping us with ruthless prioritization of features
• Have an eye for detail especially when it comes to visual appeal
• 
  

What you bring to the table

• You have full-stack experience with relevant technologies (Go, React, Typescript)
• You know how to go from 0-to-1
• You have strong communication skills
• You thrive in a collaborative team setting

What You Will Do

•

Develop robust, low-latency pipelines integrating computational geometry methods, mechanical engineering heuristics, and graph-based reinforcement learning algorithms to address multi-objective optimization problems

•

Own the creation and refinement of computational geometry features utilizing low-level CAD kernels (Python/C++)

•

Work closely with engineers to directly observe and enhance their daily workflows using your algorithms

•

Collaborate with the founding team to translate customer insights into actionable product specifications, shaping the strategic product roadmap

•

Engage proactively with customers, deeply understanding their pain points to ensure our solutions meaningfully address their challenges

What We're Looking For

•

3-7+ years of hands-on experience with geometry kernels and low-level C++ operations

•

Experience building and deploying reinforcement learning algorithms and machine learning pipelines

•

Excellent communication skills, with a proven ability to clearly articulate technical ideas, trade-offs, and solutions

•

[Bonus] Solid knowledge of mechanical engineering fundamentals, including GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing)

Key Responsibilities

• Produce accurate 2D mechanical drawings of CNC-machined parts and cast/casted components
• Apply GD&T per ASME Y14.5 standards to define form, fit, and function of parts
• Collaborate with manufacturing, quality, and engineering teams to iterate on designs
• Review and revise drawings based on feedback and test results
• Maintain drawing archives and ensure version control
• Support design reviews and provide technical input on manufacturability

Required Qualifications

Technical Expertise

• 2–7 years of hands-on experience in 2D mechanical drafting, with a primary focus on CNC machining and casting
• Proficient in SOLIDWORKS for creating and editing detailed drawings
• Strong working knowledge of GD&T principles
