Mechanical Engineer - Assembly & Deployment

Mechanical Engineer - Assembly & Deployment
Location: Goregaon East, Mumbai
Employment Type: Full-Time
About the Role
Cosy Farms builds modular hydroponic growing units deployed inside hotels and restaurants, supplied from a central hub farm in Mumbai. This role owns a unit’s journey after it leaves the design stage, from assembly at our production facility, through transport and installation at the client site, to commissioning and handover.
This is a hands-on technical role for someone who understands mechanical assembly, plumbing, and structural fitment well enough to direct a team on the floor and at site - not just execute tasks, but ensure every unit ships to spec, deploys on time, and passes QC.
Key Responsibilities
Assembly Oversight
Ensure units are assembled to drawing and BOM spec, directing the on-floor team and stepping in hands-on when needed
Own pre-dispatch quality checks and functional testing - sign-off before a unit leaves the floor
Flag design or fitment issues to engineering and drive assembly improvements
Field Deployment
Lead on-site installation: plan the sequence, confirm site readiness, and direct the team through positioning and setup
Coordinate utility connections (power, water) with client facility teams and local contractors
Manage on-site logistics - tools, spares, and manpower needed for the deployment
Own troubleshooting when site conditions don’t match the plan
Commissioning & Handover
Own the commissioning process - start-up checks, leak/load tests, safety checks, before go-live
Train client-side staff on daily operation and basic troubleshooting
Document the commissioning checklist and punch-list, and get client sign-off
Coordination & Reporting
Keep the deployment schedule on track and communicate timelines to production and client-facing teams
Report installation status, issues, and client feedback to management
Build out standardised assembly and installation SOPs as the fleet scales
Requirements
Must-Have
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering
3+ years of experience in assembly, installation, or field service of technical/mechanical equipment
Comfortable with extrusions profiles, metals, irrigation, pumps, and fittings, enough to judge quality and troubleshoot, not just execute
Ability to read technical/engineering drawings and BOMs
Willingness to travel across India for installations
Strong troubleshooting instincts - able to diagnose and resolve issues on-site
Nice-to-Have
Experience with agri-tech, greenhouse, or controlled-environment agriculture (CEA) systems
Prior experience training end-users/clients on equipment operation
Vendor/contractor coordination experience (electricians, plumbers, riggers)
What Success Looks Like (First 6 Months)
• Independently ensures units are assembled to spec with minimal supervision
• Leads full installations, site setup through commissioning and handover, with client sign-off
• Contributes to a documented SOP for assembly and installation
• Reduces average installation-to-commissioning time by identifying recurring bottlenecks
