Lead Mechanical Design Engineer at Andheri West

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities

• Design and develop heavy mechanical sub-assemblies for drilling equipment including welded structures, machined components and sheet metal assemblies.

• Develop engineering design concepts based on functional requirements, take full ownership of assigned tasks from concept refinement through detailed design, validation to production-ready-design using SolidWorks.

• Perform preliminary structural validation using hand calculations and SolidWorks simulation. Co-ordinate with FEA team for detailed analysis.

• Ensure design complies with US engineering standards (ASME, AWS, ANSI) and manufacturing practices.

• Provide engineering support to manufacturing and resolve design-related production issues.

• Take complete accountability of technical decisions, timelines and deliverables within assigned scope.

• Experience supporting full product development from concept through manufacturing release

and production support.

• Identify and implement design improvements to enhance structural performance, reliability and

manufacturability.

• Collaborate directly with US engineering leadership and cross-functional teams with minimal upstream dependency.

Secondary responsibilities

• Develop clear, shop-floor ready drawings with proper dimensioning & tolerancing, with welding specifications, GD&T and assembly clarity.

• Manage drawing release, revision control in PLM system and technical documentation.

• Support prototype development and validation to ensure design performance and integrity.

• Select and evaluate materials, manufacturing methods and design solution based on

performance, cost and manufacturability.

• Review and check drawings created by other engineers to ensure accuracy, manufacturability and

compliance with design standards.

Education

• Minimum bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering.
