Job Summary

Position: Manager / Senior Manager Engineering Design

Location: Pune

Reports To: Engineering Project Lead

Educational Qualification: B.E. / B.Tech or higher in Mechanical / Automotive / Design Engineering

Experience: 12 16 years

Industry: Construction Equipment / Automotive / Heavy Engineering

Purpose of the Role

To lead the end-to-end design and development of construction and earthmoving vehicles (CEV), ensuring innovation, functionality, manufacturability, and cost-effectiveness. This role is responsible for full product lifecycle management, from concept development and prototyping to validation, production readiness, and continuous improvement.

Key Responsibilities

  • Full Lifecycle Product Development
    • Drive product development from concept through design, prototyping, testing, manufacturing, and implementation for CEVs.
    • Develop system and component-level solutions aligned with functional, cost, material, and manufacturing requirements.
  • Design Execution & Evaluation
    • Create and review system concepts to ensure innovative and competitive design.
    • Perform 3D modeling, 2D detailing, tolerance stack-ups, and geometric dimensioning (GD&T) using industry-standard CAD tools.
    • Ensure designs are production-ready, meeting engineering, safety, and quality standards.
  • Testing, Validation & Analysis
    • Coordinate testing activities, including trial setups, instrumentation, and performance evaluations.
    • Analyze test data, validate design intent, and implement necessary modifications.
    • Conduct complex engineering calculations for strength, stiffness, service life, and material performance.
  • Collaboration & Coordination
    • Coordinate with internal cross-functional teams and external partners (vendors, design houses) for development and validation activities.
    • Provide specifications, supervise and validate output from external design service providers.
    • Resolve engineering issues and support production and service teams with design inputs.
  • Design Documentation & Control
    • Create and maintain technical documentation: engineering drawings, BOMs, cost comparison sheets, and design change notes.
    • Ensure timely execution of engineering change requests (ECRs) and track their implementation.
    • Use PLM and ERP systems for revision control and release management.
  • Innovation & Standardization
    • Drive the creation of new concepts for components, systems, and subsystems.
    • Standardize parts and subassemblies to improve design efficiency and reduce cost.
    • Identify opportunities for process improvement and design optimization.

    • Key Competencies & Skills

    • Deep technical knowledge in structural systems, fabrication, and vehicle integration.
    • Proficiency in CAD tools (e.g., Creo, CATIA, SolidWorks) and PLM systems.
    • Strong analytical skills in engineering calculations (load path, stiffness, stress, fatigue).
    • Expertise in GD&T, tolerance analysis, and manufacturing drawing preparation.
    • Hands-on experience with design problem-solving and root cause analysis.
    • Effective communication and stakeholder management skills.
    • Ability to lead cross-functional design reviews and mentor junior engineers.

    Role Authorities

    • Accountable for design ownership and lifecycle maintenance of assigned systems/products.
    • Responsible for execution and approval of engineering changes related to design.
