mechanical design engineer

About Client Company

Client is building autonomous ships and submarines that operate in the world's most hostile environments. We're executing India's flagship autonomous submarine project the Jalkapi XLAUV on order from the Indian Navy. This is an unmanned submarine weighing over 20 tons that can travel 5,000+ kilometers autonomously and operate in the ocean for 30+ days at a time.

We're creating some of the largest autonomous robots in the world, machines with direct impact on the global economy and national security. While autonomous cars in India may still be a dream, autonomous ships and submarines are already a reality, and it is possible to build for the world from India.

Job Title: Design Engineer

Location: Bangalore | Full-Time |

Experience: 4-10 Years

The Role

We are seeking a skilled CAD Designer with 4-10 years of experience to join our team. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in using NX CAD or other 3D CAD tools to create detailed and precise designs.

Key Responsibilities

Design and Modeling

• Create detailed 2D and 3D CAD designs of components and systems using tools such as NX CAD- preferred or Solidworks,AutoCAD, or CATIA.
• Develop and refine engineering drawings for manufacturing and assembly.
• Ensure designs meet technical specifications, functional requirements, and industry standards.

Prototyping and Testing

• Will be a part of R&D team to develop and test prototypes.
• Perform feasibility studies and stress analyses using simulation tools (e.g., ANSYS).
• Identify and address design issues during testing and validation phases.

Process Optimization

• Work closely with manufacturing teams to ensure designs are optimized for production.
• Implement Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles in projects.
• Continuously improve existing designs to enhance performance and cost efficiency.

Collaboration and Documentation

• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, including mechanical, electrical, and software engineers.
• Prepare technical documentation, including engineering reports, specifications, and design records.
• Support project planning and provide inputs for timelines and resource requirements.

Required Qualifications
