Lighting Design Engineer Jobs

Here is a comprehensive and practical job description for a Junior Design Engineer (often focusing on Mechanical / Production streams).In manufacturing, sheet metal, automation, and heavy fabrication setups, this entry-level role is the backbone of the design room. While senior engineers handle complex structural analysis and client scoping, the Junior Design Engineer focuses on transforming conceptual sketches into accurate 3D CAD models, generating manufacturing blueprints, managing engineering data, and handling drawing revisions.Job Description: Junior Design Engineer Department: Research & Development (R&D) / Design & Engineering Reports To: Senior Design Engineer / Design Manager / Technical Head Experience Level: 1-3 years (Open to energetic freshers with exceptional CAD software portfolio)Location Type: Core Engineering Office (with frequent shop-floor coordination)Job Purpose The Junior Design Engineer will assist the engineering team in the conceptualization, modeling, detailing, and documentation of new products and structural assemblies. The main objective is to convert engineering inputs, rough sketches, and client requirements into precise, error-free 3D models and 2D production drawings, ensuring absolute compliance with manufacturing limits and drafting standards. Key Responsibilities 1. 3D Modeling & 2D Drafting (Core Execution)CAD Modeling: Create detailed 3D part models and multi-component sub-assemblies based on technical parameters provided by senior engineers. Production Blueprints: Generate standard 2D engineering drawings for the production team, ensuring accurate section views, projections, and isometric layouts.GD&T Application: Correctly apply Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) symbols, tolerances, and surface finish notes to minimize machining errors on the floor.2. Engineering Documentation & Bill of Materials (BOM)BOM Generation: Create and maintain comprehensive Bills of Materials (BOMs) in Excel or ERP systems, listing every component, material grade, and part number required for assembly.Drawing Revisions (ECN): Process Engineering Change Notes (ECNs) to modify existing product designs based on performance feedback from clients or assembly limitations faced by the shop floor.Technical Archiving: Meticulously catalog and index design files, technical datasheets, and calculation records according to the companys data management systems.3. Prototyping & Shop Floor Coordination Fitment Analysis: Conduct virtual interference and fitment checks on CAD assemblies to catch component overlaps before physical manufacturing begins.Prototype Assistance: Collaborate with the Tool Room and production operators during the initial prototype building phase to resolve structural assembly issues.Design for Manufacturing (DFM): Learn and apply basic DFM principles to optimize designs, making them easier and cheaper to cut, bend, weld, or machine.Performance Metrics (KPIs)Drawing Accuracy Rate: Minimizing dimensional errors caught during first-piece production or tool alignment.On-Time Delivery (OTD): Meeting daily or project-specific modeling and detailing deadliness. BOM Integrity: Ensuring zero part omissions or material mismatches in the final bill of materials submitted to purchasing.
