Design for Manufacturing (DFM)
Lead and develop mechanical designs with a strong focus on manufacturability
Apply DFM/DFA principles independently to improve part design, cost efficiency, and quality
Own design refinements based on manufacturing constraints and client feedback
Produce complete, production-ready engineering documentation
Conduct simulations and engineering checks using ANSYS or similar tools
Lead tolerance analysis, material selection, and design validation
Identify design risks proactively and drive resolution
Apply working knowledge of manufacturing processes (CNC machining, sheet metal, casting, molding, etc.) to guide design and process decisions
Define material, finish, and process specifications for production parts
Evaluate supplier capabilities and factor manufacturing constraints into designs
Work closely with the Head Engineer and take independent ownership of client deliverables
Lead or co-lead virtual meetings with U.S.-based clients and internal teams
Communicate design intent, changes, and trade-offs clearly in a remote setup
Contribute to improving internal engineering workflows and standards

Mandatory 7–10 years of experience in mechanical design with a strong DFM focus
Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field
Deep understanding of DFM/DFA principles and real-world production constraints
Proficiency in 3D CAD tools (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, AutoCAD, or similar)
Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
Good written and spoken English for professional client collaboration
Preferred / Bonus Hands-on experience with GD&T and tolerance analysis
Proficiency in ANSYS or other simulation tools
Background across multiple industries (automotive, aerospace, medical, consumer, or industrial)
Prior experience working with international or U.S.-based clients in a remote setup
