Senior Design Engineer (Mechanical)
ConfidentialHubli, India22 days ago
Job description3–10 years of hands-on mechanical new product development experience (preferably in defence, aerospace, or hardware startups). Strong command of CAD (SolidWorks, Fusion 360) and analysis tools (ANSYS, MATLAB). Deep understanding of materials, tolerances, MIL standards, ruggedization, and manufacturing processes (CNC, 3D printing, casting, sheet metal). Experience leading prototype-to-production transitions in complex systems. Strong problem-solving mindset with proof of what you have designed, tested, and shipped. Passion for building and owning products end-to-end — not just drawings. You'll be expected to design, build, break, fix, and repeat — fast. We're creating products that don't exist in India yet; expect ambiguity, intensity, and steep learning curves. If you want a safe, comfy job, look elsewhere. If you want to solve real problems that matter to national security, read on. Be the owner, not just an engineer : your work will define the product. Collaborate with top-tier engineers across disciplines. Do work that directly impacts national security. Experience the adrenaline of design → prototype → test → deployment. Extreme ownership and autonomy. Freedom to experiment, fail, learn, and ship. A high-intensity, high-growth learning environment. The satisfaction of building something that actually works in the field.
Location : Hubli, Karnataka
Experience : 3–10 Years in Mechanical New Product Development (experience in service-based industries will not be considered)
About This Role
We are looking for a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to drive the design and development of next-generation defence hardware. You will own mechanical systems from concept to field trials, working at the intersection of design, prototyping, ruggedization, and certification.
This is a leadership role where you'll not only engineer products but also build processes, mentor engineers, and establish structured mechanical design practices in our fast-moving environment.
What You'll Be Doing
- Lead end-to-end design and development of new defence products, from initial sketches to certified field hardware.
- Supervise and mentor Mechanical Design Engineers and freshers; grow them into independent contributors.
- Establish structured design systems : DFMEA, tolerance stacks, BOM management, revision control.
- Own prototyping and testing cycles : coordinate with production, oversee builds, validate against MIL-STD-810G, IP67, and defence compliance.
- Drive simulation and analysis (ANSYS, MATLAB, FEA, fatigue, vibration).
- Conduct structured design reviews and quality gates to ensure manufacturability, ruggedness, and reliability.
- Work closely with cross-functional teams to deliver integrated systems.
- Support certification processes and external defence evaluations with clear technical documentation.
