Role: CAD Design Engineer
Tools: Unigraphics-NX CAD Software
Relevant Experience: 4 to 6 years
Essential Competencies:
- Strong technical knowledge of mechanical design and product-development principles.
- Hands-on experience in 3D modelling, assembly creation, and 2D drafting using Siemens NX.
- Experience with Windchill or a similar PLM system for part creation, BOM management, drawing revisions, and release of components and assemblies.
- Experience in the design of plastic, injection-moulded parts, Aluminium castings, machined, and sheet-metal parts
- Experience in designing electro-mechanical parts
- Knowledge of product-development and engineering processes, including requirement analysis, concept development, detailed design, design reviews, design freeze, prototype development, validation, and final release.
- Good knowledge of GD&T, datum systems, fits and tolerances, tolerance stack-up analysis, manufacturing drawings, and drawing interpretation.
- Working knowledge of engineering tools and processes such as BOM, DFMEA/FMEA, DRBFM, FTA, DFM, DFA, SAP, and engineering change management.
- Ability to review supplier drawings, dimensional inspection reports, manufacturing feedback, and component deviations.
- Understanding of mechanical packaging, fastening, sealing, thermal interfaces, assembly requirements, and material selection.
Responsibilities
- Develop mechanical concepts and layouts according to product, packaging, and functional requirements
