Role Objective :
Lead and manage the design and development of rolling element bearings (TRB, CRB, BB, SRB) for
industrial and automotive applications. Ensure technical excellence, innovation, and compliance with
customer and regulatory requirements.
Key Responsibilities :
1. Product Design & Development
∙Design bearings based on application requirements, load ratings, speed, and life calculations.
∙Select appropriate materials, tolerances, and fits for inner / outer races, rolling elements, and
cages.
∙Perform bearing life (L10 / Lna) calculations and load analysis.
∙Use design tools such as CAD (Solid Edge / SolidWorks / Creo / AutoCAD) and bearing
simulation software (Romax, MESYS, or equivalent).
2. Product Validation
∙Coordinate prototype development, testing, and validation (including endurance, static,
dynamic load, vibration, etc.).
∙Interpret FEA and simulation data to optimize design.
3. Customer Interaction
∙Interface with OEM customers for application engineering and new product development.
∙Participate in DFMEA reviews and APQP / NPD meetings.
4. Documentation & Standards
∙Prepare and maintain detailed design documentation including 2D / 3D drawings, tolerance
stacks, and design reports.
∙Ensure designs comply with international standards (ISO, DIN, AFBMA, JIS).
∙Maintain design records for audit and traceability (as per IATF 16949 requirements).
5. Team & Process Management
∙Lead and mentor the design engineering team.
∙Ensure effective design reviews, ECNs, and change control processes.
∙Collaborate with manufacturing, quality, and sourcing teams for DFM / A, process feasibility,
and cost optimization.
6. Innovation & Cost Reduction
∙Drive VA / VE initiatives.
