**Where is the work:**
This position is eligible for a hybrid work schedule (3 or more days onsite per week) based out of Bangalore.

**What you will do:**

• **Elevate Technical Excellence & Mentor Engineering Talent:** Act as the lead technical mentor and coach across the engineering organization. You will be responsible for identifying skill gaps, developing technical training programs, and cultivating the next generation of technical experts. Your primary focus will be on raising the entire team's capabilities through expert guidance, a commitment to engineering fundamentals, and hands-on problem-solving.
• **Lead Complex Technical Projects:** Take the technical helm on our most critical and strategically important design projects, from initial concept through to production. You will be the chief technical architect, responsible for resolving the most complex engineering challenges, leading expert-level design reviews, and ensuring the absolute technical integrity of the final product.
• **Act as a Principal Technical Advisor:** Serve as the key technical authority and liaison for cross-functional partners, including Manufacturing, R&D, Quality, and Operations. You will use your deep expertise to influence product architecture, solve systemic issues, and ensure that design decisions are optimized for the entire product lifecycle.
• **Define and Advance Engineering Competencies:** Own the technical roadmap for critical mechanical design competencies. You will establish and document best-in-class design standards, champion the adoption of new tools and advanced methodologies (like simulation-led design and advanced materials), and drive a culture of continuous improvement and technical rigor.
• **Shape Our Technical Strategy:** Provide expert technical analysis and critical insights that directly influence the long-term product and technology strategy. You will be responsible for evaluating emerging technologies, identifying strategic technical opportunities and risks, and ensuring our engineering vision is both technically sound and ambitious.

**What you will bring:**

• **Technical Leadership & Experience:** A distinguished mechanical engineering background with 15+ years of progressive industry experience, demonstrating a clear trajectory toward technical mastery. You must have proven experience in technical leadership, mentorship, and influencing project outcomes in a matrixed organization.
• **Mastery of Core Engineering Principles**: Deep, career-spanning expertise in mechanical design, with a portfolio of successfully launched, complex products. You are a recognized expert in system-level architecture, NPD, VAVE, and applying Design for X (DfX) principles (Manufacturing, Reliability, Quality, Cost) to create robust and efficient designs.
• **Exceptional Technical Depth**: Mastery of 3D CAD software (e.g., Creo, SolidWorks) and PLM tools (particularly Teamcenter). Your expertise extends far beyond standard design into advanced simulation and analysis (FEA, CFD, Thermal), and you possess a profound understanding of core mechanical and thermodynamic principles, including heat transfer, fluid dynamics, structural mechanics, and material science.
• **Mechanical CAD Automation Expertise:** You are a master at transforming the design process itself into a competitive advantage. Your expertise goes beyond simple scripting to the architectural level, where you have a proven history of creating robust, scalable CAD automation strategies. You are an expert in capturing design intent through advanced parametric modelling, Knowledge-Based Engineering (KBE), and leveraging CAD APIs (e.g., Creo Toolkit, SolidWorks API) to build custom applications that automate repetitive tasks, enforce standards, and enable mass customization. You see automation as a strategic tool to dramatically reduce design cycle time, eliminate errors, and free engineers to focus on high-value innovation.
• **Architect of Advanced Methodologies**: Proven ability to not just use, but architect and implement advanced design frameworks. You have a history of leading initiatives that integrate Model-Based Definition (MBD), Product Manufacturing Information (PMI), and digital twin concepts to fundamentally improve design efficiency and quality.
• **Innovative Mindset**: A demonstrated history of championing and implementing emerging technologies—such as AI-driven generative design, advanced simulation, or IoT-driven design—to solve complex problems and create a distinct competitive advantage.
• **Exceptional Communication & Influence**: World-class communication skills with the proven ability to distill highly complex technical concepts for diverse audiences, from junior engineers to executive leadership. You are adept at building consensus and driving critical technical decisions through data, influence, and persuasion.
