Mechanical Design Engineer (Senior)

Senior Mechanical Design Engineer (New Product Development)

Location : Hubli, Karnataka

Experience : 2-5 Years in New Product Development (Experience in Service based industry or other domains does not count)

About This Role

You will be responsible for leading Design and Development of mechanical systems for our cutting-edge defence products.

We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer who thrives on owning projects end-to-end—from ideation to deployment. As a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer, you'll work on actual hardware from day one — designing, prototyping, testing, and breaking things that the Armed Forces might use tomorrow. You'll be part of the R&D team behind our next-gen defence products, contributing to everything from sketches to field tests.

What You'll Be Doing

• Brainstorm & sketch concepts based on first principles (we don't do copy-paste design).
• Design 3D models and detailed mechanical parts using SolidWorks or Fusion 360 considering DFM, DFMEA, DFA.
• Rapid prototype using 3D printers, CNC Milling, and other machines in our in-house R&D lab.
• Work closely with electronics and software teams to bring hardware to life.
• Break your designs, fix them fast, and learn even faster.
• Analyze and Simulate the models in ANSYS and MATLAB
• Test and validate prototypes as per MIL STDs

This won't be easy.

You'll break things, fix them, burn midnight oil, and still stay hungry.

But it'll be one hell of a ride.

If you want a comfy job or like following SOPs more than challenging them — this isn't for you.

But if you're wired to solve problems under pressure and chase real impact, welcome aboard.
