Job Description

Mechanical Design Engineer at Unbox Robotics

Roles & Responsibilities

Design robots and peripheral structures across the full product range, from POC through production and sustaining phases, in alignment with cross-functional engineering teams

Perform aggregate calculations and select appropriate components and materials

Create accurate CAD part and assembly models and drawings, including tolerance stack-up analysis where needed

Conduct structural analysis and multibody dynamics simulations to validate designs against performance, safety, and reliability targets; define correct FEA inputs and interpret results to guide design decisions

Develop test cases, set up test environments, execute tests, and prepare detailed test reports

Based on test outcomes, identify improvement areas, propose design modifications, and plan iterations or further testing until requirements are met

Communicate design intent to vendors using 3D CAD, 2D drawings, GD&T, and engineering specifications, applying DFM and DFA principles

Work with vendors and suppliers to develop and scale components to specification

Collaborate with embedded, controls, and software teams for seamless integration, and with operations teams on sourcing, QC, assembly, and delivery

Develop and maintain BoMs, SOPs, release notes, change records, and validation reports

Support root-cause analysis and corrective actions for mechanical issues across prototypes, production, and field returns

Requirements

• Strong capability in aggregate calculations and first-principles problem-solving on complex mechanical challenges
• Expertise in CAD, preferably Solid Edge, producing accurate, high-quality models efficiently
• Deep knowledge of GD&T and proficiency in tolerance stack-up analysis
• Hands-on structural analysis and multibody dynamics experience with tools such as Ansys and Adams
• Strong working knowledge of manufacturing processes such as machining, sheet metal, casting, and welding across multiple materials, and their impact on design decisions
• Hands-on experience designing primary structures, mechanisms, jigs, and fixtures
• Working knowledge of solid mechanics, load cases, and failure mechanisms
• Proven experience producing detailed documentation (BoMs, SOPs, test reports, change records)
• Familiarity with Design Thinking principles for ideation, problem-solving, and product design
• Strong written and verbal communication and the ability to coordinate across multiple stakeholder teams

Good to Have

• Experience conducting FMEAs and building and executing design validation test plans
• Familiarity with relevant Indian and international standards and compliance regulations for industrial machinery and automated systems
• Certified courses in Design Thinking
• Cross-discipline knowledge (electronics, controls, or software)
• Familiarity with data analysis and visualisation
• Patents, publications, or demonstrated contributions to innovation

Eligible Candidates

• Bachelors or Masters in Mechanical Engineering (or Automotive, Aerospace) from a Tier 1 institute
• Work Experience: 2 to 5 years covering the product development cycle

We Value

• Constant learner with drive to become a Subject Matter Expert
• Proven record in start-up environment working with innovations
• Exposure to a high paced working environment
• Ability to conduct detailed procedures in a time-constrained environment
