Senior Mechanical Design&Automation Engineer (SolidWorks & T …, Mumbai

Candidates from Hyderabad or willing to relocate to Hyderabad will be highly preferred Role Overview: We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Design&Automation Engineer with deep expertise in SolidWorks, tooling design, fixture development, and automation for manufacturing environments . The candidate will drive design-to-build execution of equipment, moulds, jigs, fixtures, and automation solutions to improve throughput, repeatability, and product quality for precision silicone moulding operations.The ideal candidate must have hands-on exposure to manufacturing processes , mould tooling, mechanical design and must be capable of taking concepts into production with high practicality. SolidWorks proficiency is mandatory , and strong experience in injection moulding/medical device/precision component industry is highly preferred.This role demands an engineer with both design creativity and real shop-floor automation implementation ability , not just CAD capability. Key Responsibilities:• Design and develop moulds, tooling, jigs, fixtures, and automated equipment using SolidWorks 3D CAD. • Lead concept-to-implementation engineering projects improving process efficiency, quality&ergonomics.• Integrate mechanical, pneumatic, and electromechanical components into semi/fully automated systems. • Collaborate with Production, Quality&Maintenance to identify improvement opportunities and deploy solutions.• Design and validate inspection/test fixtures to support Quality function. • Support NPI (New Product Introduction) through concept development and tooling planning. • Generate detailed technical documentation including 2D drawings, BOMs&validation reports under ISO 13485&cGMP.• Partner with toolmakers, machine shops&automation vendors for prototype and industrial builds.• Support root cause analysis and CAPA activities for tooling/automation issues. • Mentor and guide junior engineers and technicians on design practices. Qualifications&Required Skills: Education• Bachelor's/Master's in Mechanical / Mechatronics / Manufacturing Engineering. Experience • Minimum 8+ years in mechanical design, tooling, or automation engineering . • Experience in injection moulding, medical device, silicone moulding or precision manufacturingpreferred .• Must have hands-on exposure to manufacturing floor processes and tooling build cycles. Technical Skills (Mandatory) • Advanced SolidWorks proficiency — assemblies, complex parts, 2D drawings, configurations. • Strong DFM/DFA knowledge, GD&T, tolerance stack-up&material selection.• Practical experience in fixture design, mould design, pneumatics/sensors&machine mechanisms.• Understanding of robotics integration&automation concepts.• Familiarity with PLC/motion control systems is a plus. • Experience in ISO 13485, GMP and cleanroom manufacturing considerations preferred. Preferred Attributes • Strong mechanical aptitude and ability to convert design concepts into manufacturable solutions. • Detail-oriented, structured&capable of managing multiple engineering projects.• Improvement-focused mindset with strong problem-solving approach. • Comfortable working cross-functionally with production, tooling&suppliers. Soft Skills• Excellent analytical mindset&structured problem-solving.• Clear communicator with engineering documentation accuracy. • Hands-on, practical, and execution oriented. • Collaborative&team-driven approach. Ideal Fit• Someone from silicone moulding / injection moulding / precision tooling domain . • A SolidWorks expert with real manufacturing experience , not only design-based exposure. • Can own projects independently from design → build → validation → implementation.
