MAR_137: Mechanical Design Engineer -vehicle structure
Job Description
Job Description: Mechanical Design Engineer (Structures & Frame Specialist)Role Summary
We are seeking a hands-on, high-ownership Mechanical Design Engineer specializing in vehicle structures, load-bearing frames, and heavy machinery chassis. In this full-time, on-site role at our Nelamangala facility in Bengaluru, you will lead end-to-end structural design—from initial concept sketching to CAD modeling, stress verification, prototyping, and shop-floor deployment for electric tractors and off-road agricultural/construction equipment.
Core Responsibilities (Structural Focus)
Structural Design & Engineering: Conceptualize and design robust vehicle frames, chassis, weldments, sheet metal structures, and load-bearing sub-assemblies for heavy-duty off-road applications. 3D CAD & Detailing: Create detailed, fabrication-ready 3D models, 2D manufacturing drawings with GD&T;, weld specifications, and accurate Bills of Materials (BOMs) using SolidWorks. Structural Calculations & Verification: Perform structural mechanics calculations (bending, shear, fatigue, load balancing) and FEA verification (Structural, Modal, Fatigue) in SolidWorks Simulation or ANSYS.DFM / DFA / DFS for Weldments: Apply Design for Manufacturing, Assembly, and Service principles to optimize structural steel, tubular frames, and welded joints for durability and cost efficiency.Hands-on Prototyping & Shop-Floor Integration: Work directly on the shop floor with assembly teams to build structural prototypes, evaluate field test failures, and rapidly iterate on structural improvements. Cross-Functional System Integration: Coordinate with powertrain, hydraulic, and electrical teams to properly package drive systems, battery packs, and actuators onto the main chassis.
Key Qualifications & Technical Requirements
Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.Experience: 3+ years of core experience designing structural frames, chassis, or heavy weldments for off-road machinery, farming equipment, construction vehicles, or commercial automotive.Expert CAD Proficiency: Expert-level mastery of SolidWorks (mandatory, with strong emphasis on Weldments, Sheet Metal, and Assembly modules). Strong Engineering Fundamentals: Deep knowledge of strength of materials, structural mechanics, load distribution, joint design, and fatigue failure analysis.FEA Knowledge: Hands-on capability with SolidWorks Simulation or ANSYS to run basic-to-intermediate structural stress and modal analyses.
Candidate Qualities & Work Culture Fit
Hands-on & Hungry: High drive, problem-solving mindset, and passion for building physical machines rather than sitting in a pure 9-to-5 role. High Ownership & Flexibility: Highly committed during critical delivery milestones and product rollouts. Flexible work style with compensatory leaves offered for extended crunch periods. On-Site Presence: Comfortable working on-site at the Nelamangala plant to stay close to prototyping, testing, and production line operations. Professional Communication: Clear, professional communication and presentation skills.
