About AV Industries

AV Industries is a growth-focused manufacturing company delivering high-quality engineered products for diverse sectors. We combine smart design, robust manufacturing, and strict quality systems to bring reliable products to market.

Role Summary

We’re looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer to own end-to-end product/part design—from concept and 3D modeling to drawings, prototyping, validation, and release to manufacturing. You’ll collaborate with production, quality, supply chain, and customers to deliver cost-effective, manufacturable designs on schedule.

Key Responsibilities

• Create 3D models and fully-defined 2D drawings (dimensions, GD&T, tolerances, surface finish, notes).
• Perform tolerance stack-ups; ensure fit, form, function, and manufacturability (DFM/DFA).
• Select materials/finishes; define specs for sheet metal, machining, casting, welding, and injection-molded parts.
• Build and maintain BOMs, part numbers, revisions; manage ECR/ECN through PDM/PLM.
• Run basic FEA/CAE checks (stiffness, stress, thermal) and coordinate advanced analysis/testing with the team.
• Lead design reviews, risk assessments (DFMEA), and value engineering/cost-down initiatives.
• Support prototype build, supplier discussions, and manufacturing line bring-up; resolve build issues via RCCA/CAPA.
• Ensure compliance to ASME Y14.5, company standards, and relevant safety/regulatory norms (e.g., CE, RoHS where applicable).
• Generate technical documentation: assembly instructions, test plans (DVP&R), and release packages.
• Coordinate with quality for PPAP/FAI/inspection plans; respond to customer/field feedback and drive design updates.

Required Qualifications & Skills

• B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent).
• 2+ years hands-on experience in mechanical design/product development in a manufacturing environment.
• Proficiency in at least one major CAD tool: SolidWorks/CATIA/NX/Creo/Inventor; working knowledge of AutoCAD for layouts.
• Strong command of GD&T (ASME Y14.5), tolerance stack-ups, and 2D detailing best practices.
• Practical understanding of manufacturing processes (sheet metal, machining, casting, welding, injection molding) and DFM/DFA.
• Experience with PDM/PLM (e.g., Teamcenter, Windchill, SolidWorks PDM) for revision control and release.
• Basics of FEA/CAE (e.g., ANSYS, SolidWorks Simulation) for preliminary checks.
• Familiarity with materials & heat treatment, corrosion protection, and surface finishes.
• Exposure to APQP/PPAP, ECR/ECN, BOM management, and documentation discipline.
• Strong problem-solving, ownership, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.

Good to Have (Preferred)

• Experience with DFMEA/PFMEA, DVP&R, and test fixture design.
• Knowledge of lean manufacturing, value engineering, and cost modeling.
• Hands-on with GD&T-based inspection, CMM reports, and metrology tools.
• Supplier/Vendor interaction for manufacturability and cost negotiations.
• Scripting/automation in CAD or data tools (Excel/Power Query, Python) for productivity.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary (commensurate with experience).
• Statutory benefits including Provident Fund, paid leaves, national holidays, and performance-based incentives.
• Learning & growth opportunities with real ownership of projects.
