JOB ROLE: Senior Engineer - Engineering Design

LOCATION: ABSQ, Navi Mumbai/Delhi

BU/ DIVISION: Research and Development Department

JOB PURPOSE: Develop and support engineering product designs meeting form-fit-function within the desired time and meeting the quality terms for NPD projects. The incumbent will strive to create innovative design and generate IP for the organization.   

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

Architectural sub systems design

• Work with various engineering and client functions to develop layout, solid models, assembly and detailing of product subsystems, components, and interface structures using CAD/PLM tools, like Creo parametric.
• Develop theoretical calculations for subsystems and components.
• Use simulation tools for design validation and use the same for design optimization

Benchmark product study

• Conduct product and architectural benchmarking and report observations and opportunities for value propositions

Engineering design

• Work closely with Industrial Design (external as well as internal) & product teams to develop concepts and carry the development through to manufacturing. He should ensure adherence to brand design language while providing engineering solutions.
• Design high volume & high cosmetic plastic and metal parts, aluminum die casting, extrusion components, rubber parts and specify finish
• Create BOM (Bill of Materials), draft 2D drawings with CTQ mark, balloon diagrams, and conduct part inspection.
• Execute reverse engineering projects and engage with external agencies to ensure timely completion.
• Ensure DFMEA, DFM related actions are closed and revised RPNs updated
• Use basics of statistical tolerancing and tolerance stack practices for robust engineering
• Create innovative design concepts and file Invention Disclosure Form thereby generating IP for the organization.

Prototyping

• Prepare prototype and participate in required testing to achieve engineering specs
• Develop rapid prototypes and communicate designs in CAD

Documentation and control

• Participate in NPD (New Product Development) process from concept to part realization.
• Maintain document control and design change management during NPD process
• Support senior engineers in should costing

• Work closely with Industrial Design (external as well as internal) & product teams to develop concepts and carry the development through to manufacturing.
• Oversee design checking and design validation of the CAD models and 2D drawings for GDT.

WORK EXPERIENCE: 5-10 years of experience in Consumer Durable, Consumer Electronics, Industrial Products, Automotive industry.

CERTIFICATIONS: DFSS preferred
