Desired candidate profile

• Mechanical System Design and Analysis

  • Lead the design and development of mechanical systems, components, and products, ensuring they meet performance, safety, cost, and quality requirements.
  • Use engineering principles and software tools (e.g., CAD software like AutoCAD, SolidWorks, CATIA) to design, model, and simulate mechanical systems.
  • Perform stress, thermal, vibration, and fluid flow analyses using tools like Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and other simulation software to validate designs.
  • Develop and improve design standards, specifications, and methods to optimize performance, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.

• Project Management and Oversight

  • Manage mechanical engineering projects, from conceptual design to final implementation, ensuring that they are completed on time, within budget, and according to specification.
  • Coordinate with cross-functional teams (e.g., electrical, civil, and process engineers) to integrate mechanical designs with other systems.
  • Create detailed project plans, schedules, and timelines, and track progress throughout the lifecycle of the project.
  • Monitor and resolve technical challenges, ensuring that any issues encountered during design, prototyping, or manufacturing are addressed effectively.

• Prototyping and Testing

  • Oversee the creation of prototypes and pilot models to test mechanical designs under real-world conditions.
  • Conduct performance testing, failure analysis, and troubleshooting to refine mechanical components and ensure they perform as intended.
  • Ensure that prototypes meet quality standards and specifications before they are sent for mass production.

• Technical Leadership and Mentorship

  • Provide guidance and mentorship to junior engineers and technical staff, helping them develop their skills and grow within the organization.
  • Review and approve technical documentation, design drawings, calculations, and reports to ensure high standards of engineering practice are maintained.
  • Foster a collaborative work environment where team members can effectively communicate and solve engineering challenges.

• Manufacturing and Production Support

  • Work closely with manufacturing teams to ensure the feasibility and manufacturability of designs, providing support throughout the production process.
  • Assist in the selection of materials, manufacturing techniques, and processes that optimize product performance, cost, and quality.
  • Resolve any issues that arise during the manufacturing process, such as material defects, design flaws, or process inefficiencies.
