• Troubleshoot leakage, pressure drop, flow restrictions and component failures.

• Integrate pneumatic systems with mechanical, electrical and electronic components.

• Apply knowledge of automotive systems, hydraulics, fabricated assemblies, machining and sheet-metal products.

Prototype Development & Testing

• Plan and execute prototype fabrication, assembly and testing.

• Develop test procedures, test rigs and validation plans.

• Analyse prototype and field-test results and implement design modifications.

• Perform engineering calculations, FEA, CFD, pressure calculations and flow analysis where required.

• Conduct failure and root-cause analysis.

• Ensure products meet functional, safety, durability, quality and customer requirements.

Manufacturing & Cost Optimization

• Drive DFM, DFA, DFMEA, value engineering and cost optimization.

• Design components suitable for machining, fabrication, welding, sheet metal, injection moulding, casting, forging, extrusion and 3D printing.

• Work with production and quality teams to resolve manufacturing issues.

• Review tooling, fixtures, jigs and inspection requirements.

• Support transition from prototype to serial production.

Vendor & Cross-Functional Coordination

• Coordinate with vendors for component development and sourcing.

• Communicate drawings, specifications, tolerances and quality requirements.

• Work closely with Production, Quality, Procurement, Sales, Service and Field teams.

• Resolve vendor-related technical, quality, fitment and performance issues.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical / Automobile / Production Engineering or related field.

• 2–3 years of hands-on experience in mechanical product design and development.

• Proven experience in reverse engineering and new product development.

• Advanced proficiency in SolidWorks, including part modelling, assembly modelling, sheet metal, surfacing and manufacturing drawings.

• Practical knowledge of pneumatic systems and component selection.

• Experience in automotive, industrial equipment, machinery, pneumatic products or related sectors.

• Strong knowledge of manufacturing processes including machining, fabrication, welding, sheet metal, injection moulding, casting and 3D printing.

• Good knowledge of GD&T, tolerance stack-up, material selection, BOM management and engineering documentation.

• Experience in prototype development, testing, validation and production support.

• Ability to work with suppliers, vendors and manufacturing teams.

• Comfortable working on the shop floor, at vendor locations and during field trials.

Good to Have

• FEA, CFD, flow simulation and pressure-system calculations.

• Hydraulic, electromechanical and automotive systems knowledge.

• DFMEA, PFMEA, DFM, DFA, APQP, PPAP and root-cause analysis.

• PLM/PDM and engineering change-management systems.

• ISO, automotive and product-quality standards.

• Experience taking a product from physical sample/concept to commercial production.

• Experience mentoring or leading junior engineers.

Compensation & Career Growth

Annual CTC: ₹5,00,000 – ₹6,50,000, based on demonstrated hands-on capability.

Growth Path: Design Lead / Head of Product Design as the design function expands.

The role offers direct ownership of live products and exposure to the complete product-development cycle—from reverse engineering and design to testing and serial production.
