Model-Based Definition Engineer - Metrology

MBD Engineer - Metrology Work Flexibility: Hybrid What you will do: Design and develop fixtures, gauges, and mechanical components, including sub‑assemblies and assemblies, ensuring compliance with MBD and QIF standards while meeting functional, manufacturing, and quality requirements. Create, update, and maintain 3D CAD models, 2D drawings, and MBD datasets using tools such as CATIA, SolidWorks, Creo, or NX. Apply Model‑Based Definition (MBD) practices, including semantic PMI, GD&T, and annotations directly within 3D models. Develop and manage QIF (Quality Information Framework) models to enable seamless downstream inspection, metrology, and digital quality workflows. Ensure accurate translation of design intent from CAD/MBD models to manufacturing and inspection systems. Apply GD&T principles (ASME Y14.5) to produce functionally robust, inspection‑ready designs. Participate in DFMEA & PFMEA and drive Design for DFXX (DFM, DFI, DFA) to ensure robust, manufacturable, and inspection-ready designs. Support NPI and sustaining projects by managing design changes, optimization initiatives, and manufacturability improvements. Collaborate closely with Manufacturing, Quality, Metrology, and Digital teams to align design, inspection, and production requirements. Support prototype builds, design verification, and validation testing activities. Prepare and maintain design documentation, including BOMs and ECR/ECN records, and release digital models through PLM systems. Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on digital design enablement and overall process efficiency. What you will need: Strong proficiency in 3D CAD modelling and engineering drawings. Hands-on / Basic experience with MBD (Model-Based Definition) concepts and workflows. Hands-on experience with design tools such as Creo, SolidWorks, NX, and UG. Working knowledge of QIF modelling to support inspection and quality integration. Solid understanding of GD&T, tolerance analysis, and design for manufacturability. Ability to interpret and manage digital product definitions throughout the design-to-inspection lifecycle. Experience supporting NPI and sustaining engineering activities. Strong problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills. Ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams. Required Qualifications: Education: B.Tech / BE in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline. Experience: 3–5 years of experience in mechanical design engineering, preferably in manufacturing, MedTech, or precision engineering environments. Preferred Qualifications : Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills. Strong communication and interpersonal skills. Ability to work independently and as part of a team. Attention to detail and commitment to quality. Willingness to collaborate with multiple divisions and understand their requirements. Open to adopting new technologies/applications in the field of Metrology. Travel Percentage: 10% Experience Level Mid Level
