Key Responsibilities:

• Design & Development: Collaborate with senior engineers to brainstorm mechanical concepts and contribute to detailed mechanical designs for new products and enhancements.
• CAD Modeling & Prototyping: Develop and maintain complex 3D models using SolidWorks. Use these models to drive hands-on prototyping and validation processes.
• Design Optimization: Develop your understanding of Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles, applying foundational concepts to design tasks with mentorship from manufacturing teams.
• Analysis & Validation: Conduct engineering analyses, including the application of Design tolerance and stack up analysis, Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T), to ensure component fit and function. Assist in setting up and running basic Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulations, working closely with senior analysts to interpret data and validate structural performance.
• Documentation: Support the engineering team by executing 2D drawings, Engineering Change Orders (ECOs), and Bills of Materials (BOMs), learning the company's documentation and quality review processes.
• Manufacturing & Assembly: Manufacture and assemble production components, applying strong hands-on skills and expertise in using hand tools and shop equipment.
• Cross-functional Collaboration: Collaborate effectively with Software, System, manufacturing, testing, and other cross-functional teams to successfully transition designs from concept through full production.

Requirements:

• Recent graduate of year 2025 and 2024.

• BSc in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.

• 0-1 years of experience in mechanical design or product development engineering.

• Proficiency in 3D CAD software, specifically SolidWorks. [CATIA v5 is a Bonus].

• Proficiency in generating accurate 2D drawings and applying Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) standards.
• Good understanding and practical application of mechanical design principles, including DFM and DFA.
• Preferable previous professional experience working directly with manufacturing processes.
• Demonstrated experience and hands-on skills in component manufacturing, assembly, and use of hand tools.
• Experience with performing FEA using tools like SolidWorks Simulation or ANSYS.
• Solid knowledge of various manufacturing processes (e.g., machining, sheet metal fabrication, Additive manufacturing [FDM and SLA]).
• Proven ability to work on multiple tasks and maintain strong attention to detail.
• Excellent communication and teamwork skill.
