About the Role

We are seeking an experienced CAD professional with strong expertise in 3D modelling, part and assembly design, and technical drafting. In this role, you will create and refine high-quality CAD models and engineering drawings, develop robust design workflows, and collaborate with engineering teams to deliver accurate, manufacturable, and production-ready designs.

What You'll Do

● Create and review data grounded in real CAD and mechanical design practice, parts, assemblies, drawings, and the reasoning behind them.

● Reverse-engineer geometry: take an STL/mesh with no feature history and reconstruct the design intent as parametric, code-first CAD (build123d), inferring sketches, features, datums, patterns, and key dimensional relationships.

● Evaluate AI-generated design solutions, 3D models, feature trees, mating strategies, drawings, and pin down failure cases, edge cases, and quality gaps.

● Decompose complex modelling and verification tasks into structured, step-by-step workflows the model can learn from and be measured against.

Domain Responsibilities

● Build and assess parametric models, assemblies, and detailed 2D drawings across machined, sheet-metal, cast/moulded, and weldment parts.

● Judge design intent, constraints, and robustness, modelling approach. ● Apply and check GD&T, tolerancing, and design-for-manufacturing across the full product design lifecycle (concept → detailing → design review → handoff).

● Validate code-first reconstructions against source geometry via deviation and dimensional-accuracy checks.

Requirements

Must Have

● B.E./B.Tech/M.Tech/Ph.D in Mechanical Engineering (or closely related) from a Tier 1/Tier 2 institute (IIT, NIT, BITS, IIIT, DTU/NSUT, or equivalent).

● 5+ years of hands-on CAD/mechanical design with breadth across multiple platforms (Autodesk Fusion, SolidWorks, Creo, NX, CATIA, or Inventor), multiple part types, and the full design workflow.

● Strong command of parametric modelling, assembly design, engineering drawings, GD&T, and DFM.

● Working Python ability and genuine comfort with code-first CAD (build123d / CadQuery), or a clear track record of picking up scripting fast.

Good to Have

● Mesh processing (trimesh, Open3D, numpy-stl) and familiarity with OpenCascade/OCCT.

● Exposure to adjacent disciplines, surfacing, simulation-driven design, generative/topology optimization, or CAM handoff.

● PLM/PDM and configuration management.

Strong Product Design Engineer Profile that combines strong product design with hands-on frontend coding

2

Mandatory (Experience 1): Must have 2+ years in product design, with strong depth in dense, complex product interfaces (tables, forms, permissions, multi-role flows) built for real users

3

Mandatory (Experience 2): Must have strong product / visual design judgment along with the ability to ship production-ready frontend code independently. Not a designer who only vibe-codes, and not an engineer who dabbles in UI.

4

Mandatory (Frontend Tech Skills 1): Must have hands-on frontend engineering (React / HTML / CSS / GitHub), able to work directly in a production codebase and write clean, production-ready code (not bloated AI output needing an engineer to fix)

5

Mandatory (Frontend Tech Skills 2): Must be able to set guardrails and standards so AI tools generate clean, production-ready, accessible code that follows the component system, removing the need for a frontend engineer to review design-team code.

6

Mandatory (Portfolio): Must share a GitHub profile and a link to a real product prototype they designed and coded end-to-end. Must show shipped, interactive product UIs. Landing pages, marketing sites, dummy projects, case studies, and Figma / Behance / Dribbble-only portfolios will not be considered.

7

Mandatory (Communication): Must have excellent English communication and be able to clearly articulate their thought process (works with US stakeholders).

8

Mandatory (Company): B2B SaaS background (dense tables / data); early stage startups where design and engineering were not separate functions will also work

9

Mandatory (Exclusion 1): Must not position as Engineer / Developer / PM in their resume. This is a designer-first profile.

10

Mandatory (Exclusion 2): Must not be from big corporates / MNCs (1000+ employees, e.g. Infosys, Wipro) or IT services companies / agencies.

11

Preferred (Profile): Designer-first, engineer-second, with titles like Product Designer, Design Engineer, Design Builder, or Design Technologist; ideally moved from a design role into design-engineering.

12

Preferred (AI): Experience with AI-native interfaces (streaming output, agentic / human-in-the-loop UX, confidence / uncertainty in UI); AI used structurally in shipping features, not just for copy or assets.

Product Designer, AM:PM

Compensation: 6–7 LPA

• You do not push pixels. You design products that feel inevitable. The kind where users do not notice the design because everything lands where it should.
• You do not show up with a moodboard. You show up with a flow that already solves the problem.
• You are not a “visual designer.
• You think hard about how Gen Z actually uses their phones.
• Why some apps stick. Why most do not. How a vertical video product can feel native without looking like every other vertical video product.
• You have built for Gen Z before. Not posters for a Gen Z brand. Product screens that real Gen Z users touched, used, skipped, returned to, or abandoned.

About AM:PM

AM:PM is a VC-backed news platform built for short-form video, reels, and fast threads, for Gen Z and millennials who want to stay informed without sitting through a panel of five people agreeing with each other for 40 minutes. We go deep without going slow. We understand internet culture because we live in it, not because we read a report about it.

Why this role matters

AM:PM is not building another news app. We are trying to change the form itself. The slash mechanic. The wraps. The newsroom. The discourse layer. These surfaces only work if the design pushes the product forward, not if it plays safe. You will decide what AM:PM looks like, feels like, and how users move through it.

What you will own

• Design the AM:PM app end-to-end across wraps, newsroom, and discourse
• Build the slash interaction for opinion and counter-opinion switching so it feels native, not gimmicky
• Create and maintain the AM:PM design system from the brand foundation up
• Use Figma, Claude, and any AI tool that helps you move faster without lowering the quality
• Run usability calls with real Gen Z users and use what you learn, not what you assume6. Work directly with the founding team and CTO to ship what you design
• Experiment fast, kill what does not work, and double down on what does

Who you are

• 1+ years of designing consumer mobile products that have shipped to real users
• You have worked on at least one Gen Z product end-to-end, not just one screen
• Your portfolio shows visual range, motion thinking, product logic, and more than one design language.
• You move at startup pace and do not need a perfect brief to begin
• Based in Mumbai or willing to relocate within commutable distance

This is a 0-to-1 journey. No senior designer above you. No safe template to copy. You are the design team. If that sounds like your kind of problem, drop your CV below or DM us.
