Key ResponsibilitiesProduct Design & Development: Conceptualize, design, and detail mechanical parts, mechanisms, and assemblies using 3D CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Creo, CATIA, or AutoCAD).Prototyping & Testing: Build functional prototypes, define test plans, and conduct rigorous validation and durability testing to ensure designs meet performance, safety, and reliability standards.Engineering Analysis: Perform structural, thermal, and kinematic analyses (using hand calculations or FEA/CFD simulation tools) to optimize designs for weight, strength, and cost.Design for Manufacturing (DFM/DFA): Collaborate with manufacturing partners and suppliers to ensure designs are optimized for mass production, assembly efficiency, and cost reduction.Documentation: Create and maintain comprehensive engineering documentation, including 2D manufacturing drawings, Bill of Materials (BOMs), assembly instructions, and Engineering Change Orders (ECOs).Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work alongside electrical, firmware, quality assurance, and project management teams to resolve technical challenges throughout the product lifecycle.
