Mechanical Design Engineer

Role: Design Engineer Intermediate I–3 to 5 years & Intermediate II- 5 to 8 years Employment Type: Full Time, Permanent Reports To: Production Manager/ Plant Manager Department: Design Education: Diploma/BE in Mechanical Engg & above Work Location: TDMC - Unit 2 Peenya, Bengaluru Shift: General Shift Overview: The Design Engineer (Intermediate) is responsible for converting customer finished drawings into clear manufacturing and process drawings, and for designing production-critical tools such as fixtures, gauges, and jigs. This role uses AutoCAD and SolidWorks to translate customer design intent into practical, shop-floor-ready solutions that can run reliably on VMC, Turning Centers, and Grinding machines. The engineer independently studies customer specifications, applies suitable ISO tolerances and GD&&T so parts are both functional and manufacturable, and designs fixtures and inspection fixtures that support stable, repeatable production. The position also provides technical support to production and quality teams during trials and regular batches, resolving drawing or tooling issues and updating documentation when improvements are identified. Work is reviewed periodically with senior engineers and manufacturing partners to optimise designs for cost, quality, and ease of production, ensuring robust designs that are ready for long-term use. Roles & Responsibility Machine setup & Operations 8 Receive and analyse customer finished drawings; interpret design intent, identify critical dimensions and features, and understand functional requirements. Convert customer drawings to manufacturing and process drawings; add manufacturing details, process-specific instructions, and shop-floor notes needed for execution. Create technical drawings with all dimensions and process-appropriate tolerances; apply GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) for critical features; add notes for material, surface finish, heat treatment, and coating or plating. Define process sequence in drawings; indicate stages such as VMC, Turnring Center, Grinding, and Final Polishing; reference required tools, fixtures, and gauges. Generate Bills of Materials (BOM) for assemblies; include part numbers, descriptions, and quantities; prepare assembly drawings showing component relationships and assembly sequence. Ensure drawings follow ISO standards and check for completeness, clarity, and manufacturability before release to production. Maintain drawing documentation; control versions, record revision history, and capture approvals before issuing to the shop floor. Provide technical support to production; clarify drawing intent and resolve doubts during manufacturing to avoid errors, delay, and rework. Tool, Gauge & Fixture Design
