Design Engineer

Role Summary
We are looking for an experienced Senior Design Engineer with strong expertise in SPM machine design, fixture design, robotic automation, and palletizing applications. The candidate will be responsible for developing complete mechanical concepts and detailed designs for industrial automation projects, from customer requirements through manufacturing, assembly, trials, FAT, and installation support.
Key Responsibilities
Design and development of Special Purpose Machines (SPM) and industrial automation systems.
Design of jigs, fixtures, welding fixtures, assembly fixtures, inspection fixtures, and material handling systems.
Mechanical design of robot-based palletizing and depalletizing systems.
Design and application engineering for robotic systems including:
Pick & Place
Palletizing / Depalletizing
Machine Tending
Material Handling
Welding
Painting / Process Automation
Assembly and Inspection Automation
Develop robot cell concepts including robot selection, reach study, EOAT/gripper design, safety fencing, conveyors, positioners, and peripheral equipment.
Prepare 2D layouts, 3D concepts, detailed manufacturing drawings, assembly drawings, and BOMs.
Design machine structures, frames, guarding, brackets, sheet-metal parts, and fabricated components.
Perform engineering calculations for payload, structural loading, motors, gearboxes, pneumatic cylinders, linear systems, bearings, and other mechanical components.
Select suitable mechanical and automation components based on application requirements.
Conduct design reviews and ensure designs meet customer specifications, safety requirements, manufacturability, and serviceability.
Coordinate with Electrical, Controls, Robotics, Production, Procurement, Project Management, and Quality teams.
Support manufacturing, assembly, machine trials, FAT, installation, commissioning, and design modifications.
Coordinate with customers and suppliers for technical clarifications and design approvals.
Maintain proper engineering documentation, revision control, BOMs, drawings, and design records.
