About the role
Role & responsibilities Understand and translate customer requirements into workable automation concepts, especially for low-cost automation (LCA) solutions Prepare process flow charts, concept layouts, and cycle-time studies for proposed automation systems Design SPMs (Special Purpose Machines), jigs, and fixtures for welding, assembly, and material handling applications Develop 2D and 3D designs/models using CAD software for machines, fixtures, and automation cells Support simulation studies (robot reach, cycle time, layout validation) for proposed solutions Collaborate closely with the sales team to prepare technical proposals, budgetary estimates, and design justifications for customers Visit customer sites to understand shop-floor constraints, gather requirements, and support installation/commissioning as needed Coordinate with fabrication, procurement, and assembly teams to ensure designs are manufacturable and cost-effective Prepare BOMs, GA drawings, and technical documentation for internal and customer use Support after-sales technical queries and design modifications based on customer feedback Preferred candidate profile Bachelor's degree/Diploma in Mechanical/Mechatronics/Production Engineering Strong hands-on experience in 2D (AutoCAD) and 3D (SolidWorks/Creo/CATIA/NX) design Working knowledge of SPM design, jig & fixture design, and low-cost automation concepts Understanding of robotic welding cells, material handling systems, and conveyor design is a plus Familiarity with simulation tools (RobotStudio, Process Simulate, or similar) preferred Good communication skills to interact directly with customers and cross-functional teams Willingness to travel for customer visits, site surveys, and project support Basic understanding of GD&T, tolerance stack-up,BIW, and manufacturing processes
