Role:

Design Engineer _ Engineering Department: Engineering

About the Role:

The Mechanical Design Engineer is responsible for the design, development, and optimization of inter-vehicle gangway systems used in railway and metro rolling stock. The role focuses on ensuring passenger safety, comfort, reliability, and compliance with railway standards, while meeting customer and project requirements. This position involves working on gangway structures, bridge plates, bellows, suspension systems, floor covers, and related assemblies, supporting the product lifecycle from concept design to prototype, validation, and series production. The engineer collaborates closely with project management, manufacturing, quality, validation and cross-functional engineering teams to deliver robust and cost-effective solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Design, develop, and modify railway gangway systems and components in line with project and customer requirements.

2. Prepare and maintain 3D models, 2D drawings, GA drawings, and Bills of Materials (BOMs) using CAD tools.

3. Ensure all designs comply with applicable railway standards, regulations, and customer specifications.

4. Perform basic engineering calculations, tolerance analysis, and design validations to support robust designs.

5. Support prototype development, testing, and validation activities, including incorporation of feedback.

6. Analyze design issues from prototype, testing, or field feedback and implement corrective design solutions.

7. Coordinate with manufacturing, quality, procurement, and validation team to ensure manufacturability and cost effectiveness.

8. Manage engineering change requests (ECR/ECN) and maintain accurate design documentation and revision control.

9. Participate in design reviews, technical discussions, and customer meetings as required.

10. Support installation, commissioning, and troubleshooting during vehicle integration and trials.

11. Ensure designs meet safety, quality, durability, and reliability requirements.

12. Adherent to internal engineering processes, quality systems, and project timelines.

13. Awareness of quality standards and design documentation practices.

Skills & Competencies: Technical Skills:

1. Strong fundamentals in mechanical engineering principles (mechanics, materials, tolerances).

2. Hands-on experience in mechanical design of assemblies and sub-systems.

3. Proficiency in CAD software (Creo / CATIA / NX / SolidWorks / AutoCAD).

4. Ability to create and interpret 2D drawings, 3D models, GA drawings, and BOMs.

5. CAD Tools: SolidWorks / AutoCAD / CATIA / NX/3DX.

6. Knowledge of manufacturing processes such as sheet metal, welding, rubber components, springs, casting, moulding and machined parts.

7. Understanding of railway/rolling stock standards (EN, UIC, TSI, customer specifications).

8. Familiarity with engineering change management (ECR/ECN) and configuration control.

9. Experience with prototype development, testing, and validation.

10. Basic knowledge of DFMEA, tolerance stack-up, and design validation methods.

Behavioral Skills:

1. Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.

2. Ability to work effectively in cross-functional and multicultural teams.

3. Good communication and technical documentation skills.

4. Ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities in a project environment.

5. Attention to detail with a focus on quality and compliance.

6. Proactive mindset with a willingness to learn and adapt.

7. Ability to work independently while aligning with project timelines and objectives.

Qualification:

1. Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering.

2. Master’s degree in mechanical engineering or design engineering.

3. Diploma in Mechanical Design with strong experience may also be considered.
