Lead Mechanical Design Engineer (SolidWorks)

Overview

Lead Mechanical Design Engineer responsible for designing and developing mechanical components, assemblies and systems using SolidWorks, while supporting project delivery, internal process improvements and GD&T technical governance for plant items.

What you'll do

• Design and develop mechanical components, assemblies and systems using SolidWorks, ensuring accuracy, functionality and manufacturability.
• Ensure project delivery teams adhere to common standards and the latest design delivery techniques.
• Support project teams on proposal and project delivery tasks.
• Define, interpret, review and approve dimensional and geometrical requirements for plant items and mechanical components.
• Act as the technical lead and controlling authority for GD&T within the design team.
• Establish the tolerancing strategy and ensure that 3D models, manufacturing drawings and product definitions clearly communicate design intent.
• Provide technical governance and independent checking of datum schemes, feature control frames, form, orientation, location, profile and runout controls, material-condition principles, limits and fits, and tolerance stack-ups.
• Ensure GD&T requirements are functionally justified and compatible with assembly, manufacturability, inspection, interchangeability and quality requirements.
• Lead and mentor designers and engineers on GD&T application.
• Resolve complex tolerancing issues and interface with engineering, manufacturing, quality, suppliers and client stakeholders where required.
• Identify, interpret and apply required industry, client and internal CAD/BIM standards to ensure finished products are project- and client-compliant.
• Work independently and take proactive initiative.
• Check work and complete specifically assigned tasks to time and cost.
• Show flexibility in work tasks and locations.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's degree or Diploma in Mechanical Engineering or an equivalent technical discipline.
• 10+ years' experience in relevant fields.
• Minimum 10+ years of relevant mechanical design experience.
• Substantial practical application of GD&T on complex mechanical and plant items, with the capability to lead and approve GD&T-related work.
• Demonstrable experience applying BS 8888 / ISO GPS and/or ASME Y14.5 on production engineering drawings and 3D model-based product definitions.
• Ability to perform or review tolerance stack-up analyses.
• Ability to translate functional and assembly requirements into appropriate dimensional and geometrical controls.
• Significant hands-on expertise in GD&T.
• Advanced working knowledge of BS 8888 and the associated ISO Geometrical Product Specifications (GPS) framework, or relevant North American equivalents such as ASME Y14.5, subject to applicable client requirements.
• Proficiency in SolidWorks, including advanced features such as surfacing, sheet metal and assemblies.
• Strong understanding of mechanical engineering principles, materials and manufacturing processes.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and specifications.
• Ability to perform self-motivated development.

Nice to have

• Experience with design validation techniques such as Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).
• Previous experience in nuclear, power, heavy engineering, precision equipment or similarly controlled design environments.
• CANDU project experience.

Details

• Location: Bangalore.
• Worker type: Contingent Worker.
• Job type: Loan of Personnel.
• The role includes flexibility in work tasks and locations.
