Mechanical Design Engineer / Product Engineer

As a Mechanical Design Engineer / Product Engineer based in Bangalore, Karnataka, India, you will be responsible for the end-to-end design, development, and validation of vehicle components and systems, particularly focusing on electric vehicles used in off-road, agriculture, and industrial applications. Key Responsibilities: - Design and develop vehicle structures, frames, and chassis systems for electric vehicles. - Integrate hydraulic systems including cylinder layouts, valve placement, and load balancing for optimal functional performance. - Develop and optimize kinematic mechanisms for lifting, steering / articulation, and movement systems. - Support gearbox design / selection, mechanical transmission integration, and drive system packaging. - Perform engineering calculations, tolerance stack-up analysis, and design verification using FEA (Structural, Modal, Fatigue). - Generate 3D models, 2D drawings, and BOMs using SolidWorks. - Collaborate cross-functionally with electrical, controls, and manufacturing teams. - Participate in prototype building, field testing, and iterative design validation. - Ensure designs adhere to industry standards, safety regulations, and reliability expectations. Qualifications Required: - Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline. - 3+ years of experience in vehicle or machinery design, specifically in construction equipment, farming machinery, material movers, or automotive. - Solid knowledge of structural design, mechanics, hydraulic circuit and actuator design, kinematic linkages, motion systems, gearbox design, and selection. - Experience with Finite Element Analysis (ANSYS/SolidWorks Simulation preferred). - Proficiency in SolidWorks. - Strong foundation in physics, engineering, strength of materials, and machine design. - Hands-on experience with prototyping, testing, and field validation of mechanical systems. As a preferred attribute, exposure to EV drivetrain components and packaging challenges, familiarity with DFM/DFA principles, and a problem-solving mindset in a fast-paced startup setting would be advantageous.
