Research & Production Engineer

As a Research & Production Engineer at our company, you will play a crucial role in both research-driven product development and production engineering. Your expertise in 3D design, prototyping, machining, and manufacturing processes will be instrumental in ensuring that innovative concepts are successfully translated into manufacturable and scalable products. Key Responsibilities: - Research & Development: - Conduct research on new product concepts, materials, and manufacturing techniques. - Design and prototype components, assemblies, and tooling using 3D CAD software. - Collaborate with cross-functional teams to validate design performance through testing and iterations. - Document findings, feasibility studies, and design improvements for future projects. - Design for Manufacturability (DFM): - Convert R&D prototypes into manufacturable designs. - Ensure designs align with machining capabilities, tolerances, and material constraints. - Develop cost-effective solutions without compromising quality or functionality. - Production Engineering: - Develop, implement, and optimize machining and manufacturing processes. - Create process documentation, including SOPs, process sheets, and quality checklists. - Support CNC programming, setup, and tool/fixture design for efficient production. - Quality & Continuous Improvement: - Perform root cause analysis of production or design issues. - Drive continuous improvement initiatives for cost, cycle time, and product quality. - Integrate lean manufacturing principles and innovative production methods. - Cross-Functional Collaboration: - Work closely with design engineers, machinists, and production teams to bridge the gap between concept and final product. - Facilitate knowledge transfer from research prototypes to production-scale processes. Skills & Competencies: - Strong experience with CAD/CAM software (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, AutoCAD, etc.). - Practical knowledge of CNC machining, tool design, and manufacturing workflows. - Ability to run experiments, test prototypes, and analyze results. - Knowledge of materials science, manufacturing standards, and quality systems. - Analytical, innovative, and detail-oriented mindset. Requirements: - Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering, Production Engineering, or a related field. - 2+ years of experience in product development, prototyping, or production engineering. - Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work in a fast-paced, innovative environment. - Travel may be required as per project or business needs. In addition to the challenging and rewarding work environment, you can expect benefits such as a flexible schedule, health insurance, leave encashment, and Provident Fund.
