Engineer, Mechanical-1

Overview

Hands-on Mechanical Design Engineer for centrifugal pumps or comparable rotating equipment, executing design, analysis, documentation and product-support work across new product development, engineered-to-order projects, value engineering and sustaining engineering, based at the Global Engineering Center in Noida.

What you'll do

• Execute mechanical design and development of centrifugal pump components and assemblies, including casings, impellers, shafts, sleeves, bearing housings, wear rings, baseplates, couplings and sealing arrangements.
• Translate customer, product and application requirements into design inputs, concepts, calculations, drawings, bills of material and verification plans.
• Perform engineering calculations for shaft strength and deflection, bearing life, critical fits and clearances, bolted joints, pressure-containing components, component stresses and related design checks.
• Create and review 3D models, layouts, manufacturing drawings and assembly drawings using SolidWorks or equivalent CAD software; apply GD&T and tolerance-stack-up principles.
• Select materials and manufacturing processes appropriate for castings, machined parts, fabricated structures, corrosion resistance, pressure duty and service environment.
• Execute engineered-to-order modifications and application-specific designs while maintaining product integrity, interchangeability and configuration control.
• Support design reviews, DFMEA, risk assessment, verification and validation testing, prototype builds and design-release activities using Pentair's product-development process.
• Investigate shop-floor, test-lab and field issues; perform structured root-cause analysis and implement corrective design actions.
• Partner with manufacturing and suppliers to resolve casting, machining, assembly and quality concerns and improve design manufacturability and reliability.
• Drive value-engineering and product-improvement projects to reduce cost, simplify designs, improve performance and enhance product robustness.
• Prepare and maintain technical reports, design calculation files, specifications, engineering change documentation, product manuals and lessons learned.
• Collaborate effectively with global engineering teams and support technical discussions with sales, application engineering, quality, sourcing and customers.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering stream from a recognized institution.
• 5-8 years of relevant experience in mechanical design and product engineering, preferably involving centrifugal pumps, fluid-handling equipment or rotating machinery.
• Practical experience designing pump or rotating-equipment components and releasing production-ready engineering documentation.
• Strong understanding of engineering mechanics, machine design, materials, manufacturing processes, fits and tolerances, and GD&T.
• Proficiency in 3D CAD and 2D drawing creation.
• Working knowledge of design calculations, tolerance analysis, drawing review, bill-of-material structures and engineering change processes.
• Experience supporting design validation, manufacturing, assembly, testing and failure investigation.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work in a global, cross-functional environment.

Nice to have

• SolidWorks experience.
• Centrifugal-pump construction and operating principles, including hydraulic loads, shaft sealing, bearings, couplings, vibration, alignment and common pump failure modes.
• Applicable standards and guidance such as Hydraulic Institute / ANSI-HI, ASME, API 610, NFPA 20, UL, FM and NSF, depending on the product and application.
• Finite element analysis using ANSYS or equivalent tools for structural, modal, thermal or pressure-related assessments.
• Design for manufacture and assembly involving sand castings, investment castings, machining, sheet-metal fabrication, welding and surface treatments.
• Experience with municipal water, wastewater, fire-protection, commercial or industrial pumping applications.
• PLM/PDM and ERP systems for document control, product structures and engineering changes.
• Engineering automation or data analysis using Excel, Mathcad, MATLAB or Python; practical familiarity with AI-enabled engineering tools.
