We are seeking a talented Mechanical Engineer to join our Valves & Integrated Products Engineering team in Bangalore. In this role, you will contribute to the design, development, testing, sustaining engineering, and documentation of advanced vacuum-based products, including isolation valves, pressure control valves, custom manifold solutions, and heated products.
The ideal candidate will possess strong mechanical design expertise, hands-on experience in prototype development and testing, and a solid foundation in product development engineering. Experience with vacuum systems, sealing technologies, actuators, and precision mechanical components is highly desirable.
What you'll do
Design, develop, document, build, and test vacuum isolation valves, pressure control valves, custom manifold solutions, and related mechanical products.
Develop mechanical assemblies comprising machined and welded components, static and dynamic sealing solutions, and rotary or linear pneumatic, electrical, and mechanical actuators.
Create and maintain detailed 3D models, assemblies, and manufacturing drawings using CAD tools such as Autodesk Inventor, Creo and/or SolidWorks.
Apply effective Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) methodologies to ensure product functionality, manufacturability, and quality.
Select appropriate materials and design features based on performance requirements, reliability targets, manufacturing capabilities, and cost considerations.
Collaborate with suppliers, manufacturing teams, and other stakeholders to optimize designs for production.
Support product verification activities including prototype builds, testing, data analysis, root-cause investigations, and design improvements.
Participate in all phases of product development, including requirements definition, concept development, detailed design, engineering analysis, design reviews, validation, and release to production.
Generate and maintain engineering documentation, including specifications, drawings, test plans, reports, and change documentation.
Prepare and deliver technical presentations and effectively communicate design decisions to cross-functional teams.
Independently manage engineering assignments while collaborating effectively with global cross-functional teams.
Requirements
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
Minimum 3 years of experience in mechanical product design and development.
Experience working with Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems.
Proficiency in 3D CAD modelling and engineering drawing creation, preferably using Autodesk Inventor, Creo and/or SolidWorks.
Strong understanding of mechanical design principles, tolerance stack-up analysis, and GD&T.
Working knowledge of manufacturing processes including machining, welding, and mechanical assembly.
Experience developing, building, and testing mechanical prototypes.
Strong analytical, problem-solving, written, and verbal communication skills.
Nice to have
Advanced knowledge and practical application of GD&T.
Experience with vacuum systems, vacuum technology, semiconductor equipment, or other high-technology capital equipment.
Knowledge of thermal and mechanical analysis, simulation, and Design for Manufacturability (DFM) principles.
Familiarity with pneumatic, electrical, and electromechanical actuation systems.
