Work with cross-functional teams (R&D, Production, Supply Chain, QA) to translate requirements into manufacturable designs. Support prototyping, assembly trials, and validation testing of new designs. 2. Updating & Improving Existing Designs Evaluate existing designs and implement improvements for performance, reliability, and cost optimization. Modify sheet metal designs to meet new customer requirements, regulatory changes, or updated specifications. Resolve design-related issues identified during production or field performance. Drive continuous improvement initiatives for standardization and modularization. 3. Process Flow & Manufacturing Support Develop detailed process flows, fabrication sequences, and assembly instructions for sheet metal components and motor sub-assemblies. Define manufacturing tolerances, welding requirements, and surface treatment specifications. Provide technical support to production teams to resolve fabrication or assembly challenges. Collaborate with vendors / suppliers for tooling, sheet metal part development, and cost optimization. 4. Engineering Documentation & Compliance Create and maintain engineering drawings, BOMs (Bill of Materials), and PLM entries. Prepare design calculation reports, tolerance stack-up studies, and validation documentation. Support Engineering Change Orders (ECO) and configuration management. Ensure compliance with industry standards (IEC, NEMA, IS) and internal quality systems. 5. Cross-functional Collaboration & Testing Work with testing teams to define validation plans (vibration, thermal, strength, and noise testing). Analyse test results and implement design improvements. Provide technical inputs during customer discussions, audits, and design reviews. Support field service and customer teams with technical troubleshooting. Performance Metrics : 1. Design Quality & Accuracy % of designs approved in first review cycle. Number of design errors / ECNs raised post-release. Compliance with GD&T, standards (IEC / NEMA / IS), and internal guidelines. 2. Timeliness & Productivity On-time completion of design tasks vs. planned schedule. Average design cycle time reduction compared to baseline. Number of new / updated designs released per quarter. 3. Innovation & Cost Optimization Contribution to cost reduction projects (e.G., redesigns saving material / assembly time). % of design changes leading to improved manufacturability or cost efficiency. Number of new design concepts / innovations proposed per year. 4. Process & Documentation Excellence Accuracy and completeness of engineering documentation (drawings, BOMs, process flows). Timely closure of Engineering Change Orders (ECOs). PLM / ERP documentation compliance. 5. Collaboration & Support Response time to production / vendor queries. % of cross-functional issues resolved without escalation. Feedback from production, testing, and procurement teams on design support. 6. Testing & Validation Contribution % of prototypes passing validation tests on first attempt. Timely implementation of design changes from test feedback. Participation in root cause analysis (RCA) and corrective action effectiveness. 7. Continuous Improvement & Learning Number of process improvements or standardization initiatives implemented. Training hours completed on new tools, design methods, or standards. Adoption of digital design tools / automation for efficiency gains. Compensation / Remuneration : The shortlisted candidate / candidates will initially be hired on a probation basis for a 3 or 6-month period during which he / she will be entitled to an annual CTC of INR 3,00,000 to 7,00,000 (Based on the Skill Set, Experience and Qualifications). During the probation period, the company will evaluate the mutual fit of the candidate with the company.
