and detailed designs.\nDrive product packaging and system layout while balancing thermal performance, structural integrity, electrical clearances, manufacturability, serviceability, reliability, and cost.\nLead mechanical development of sheet-metal enclosures, structural frames, busbar integration, battery packaging, cooling systems, wiring/harness routing, and electromechanical assemblies.\nPerform and guide 3D CAD design, engineering calculations, tolerance analysis, structural and thermal analysis, prototyping, and product testing.\nServe as the mechanical technical lead/design authority, leading design reviews and driving technical trade-off decisions across mechanical, electrical, thermal, manufacturing, and reliability domains.\nApply DFMEA and DFx methodologies, including design for manufacturing, assembly, serviceability, reliability, cost, and testability.\nLead mechanical design activities through prototype/EVT, DVT, certification, production readiness, and product launch.\nSupport verification and validation, reliability testing, failure analysis, root-cause investigation, and corrective actions.\nPartner with suppliers, manufacturing, sourcing, and quality teams on design feasibility, tooling, prototype development, cost optimization, and manufacturing readiness.\nSupport product compliance and certification activities, including applicable IEC/UL and global safety requirements.\nDrive design-to-cost, modularization, standardization, platform reuse, and value-engineering initiatives.\nProvide technical mentoring and guidance to mechanical engineers and designers and strengthen engineering best practices and design standards.\nDrive continuous improvement in engineering processes, tools, simulation methods, design reviews, documentation, and test methodologies.\"\nQualifications:\nBachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related engineering discipline from an accredited institution.\nMaster’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline is preferred.\nAdvanced technical training/certification in areas such as thermal engineering, structural analysis, Six Sigma, DFx, or product development is an advantage.\nRelevant experience:\nM.Tech./M.E. with 8+ years of experience, or\nB.Tech./B.E. with 10+ years of experience.\"\nSkills:\nThe candidate should demonstrate strong knowledge and practical experience in:\nMechanical product architecture and electromechanical packaging\n3D CAD modelling and development of 2D production drawings and assembly documentation\nGeometric Dimensioning &Tolerancing, tolerance analysis, tolerance stack-up, and design documentation\nSheet-metal design, structural frames, enclosures, brackets, and mechanical assemblies\nBusbar mechanical integration, cable/wiring routing, insulation interfaces, and electrical clearances\nThermal management, including airflow, heat transfer, forced-air cooling, component cooling, and thermal interface design\nStructural and mechanical analysis, including stress, vibration, shock, loading, and structural integrity\nEngineering simulation and correlation of analysis with physical test results\nMaterials selection and manufacturing processes including sheet metal, machining, plastics, fastening, joining, and surface finishes\nDFMEA, design reviews, failure analysis, root-cause analysis, and corrective-action methodologies\nDFM, DFA, Design for Serviceability, Design for Reliability, Design-to-Cost, and Value Engineering\nMechanical integration of Li-ion battery/energy storage systems\nProduct verification and validation methodologies\nPrototype development and engineering build support\nManufacturing-process and production-readiness considerations\nSupplier technical evaluation and design-for-manufacturing reviews\nProduct safety and regulatory requirements, including experience supporting IEC/ UL certification\nProduct lifecycle and configuration management practices\nFamiliarity with data-center power architecture and infrastructure is strongly preferred.\"\n\"\nTechnical Leadership: Ability to act as the mechanical technical authority, lead design decisions, resolve technical issues, and provide direction to engineers and designers.\nSystems Thinking: Understands interactions between mechanical, electrical, thermal, controls, manufacturing, reliability, safety, and service requirements.\nProblem Solving: Applies engineering fundamentals, data, simulation, testing, and structured methodologies to solve complex product-development problems.\nDecision Quality: Makes timely, data-driven technical decisions while effectively balancing performance, risk, cost, quality, and schedule.\nOwnership & Drive for Results: Demonstrates strong accountability for technical deliverables and drives issues to closure throughout the product-development lifecycle.\nCollaboration & Influence: Works effectively with global engineering teams, manufacturing, quality, sourcing, suppliers, certification teams, and other stakeholders.\nCommunication: Clearly communicates technical concepts, design decisions, risks, trade-offs, recommendations, and project status to both technical and leadership stakeholders.\nMentoring & Knowledge Sharing: Develops engineers and designers through coaching, technical reviews, and sharing of engineering best practices.\nCustomer & Quality Focus: Maintains a strong understanding of customer needs and ensures designs meet expectations for safety, quality, reliability, serviceability, and performance.\nInnovation & Continuous Improvement: Identifies opportunities for design reuse, modularization, cost optimization, process improvement, and faster product development.\nAdaptability: Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, global product-development environment with evolving requirements and priorities.\"","description_format":"text","description_chars":6718,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":10,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Aerospace
