634 jobs for "Lead Architect"

Senior Engineer I, Electromechanics Design

R&D / Product Engineering | 8-12 years overall experience | 2+ years technical project leadership | Mechanical Engineering

Role purpose : Own the mechanical and electromechanical design of products across residential electrification and energy management, from requirements and concept selection through verification, qualification and industrialization. Act as a senior technical individual contributor, making evidence-based design decisions and coordinating multidisciplinary engineering work without formal people-management accountability.

Core product domain: Wiring devices and related residential electrical accessories

Adjacent and growth domains: Home automation, home energy management, E-mobility and renewable energy

KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES

• Own end-to-end electromechanical design, from customer and marketing requirements through concept selection, architecture, detailed design, verification, qualification and industrialization.

• Design plastic and metal parts, mechanisms and assemblies using material selection, engineering calculations, GD&T and tolerance stack-up analysis.

• Apply DFM/DFA across injection moulding, metal forming, joining and assembly; deliver manufacturable solutions meeting quality, cost and schedule targets.

• Define product-safety, robustness and reliability requirements. Use DFMEA, design margins, DVP&R, accelerated-life testing and failure analysis to demonstrate compliance and service-life performance.

• Plan component, subassembly and product qualification to applicable IEC, Indian, international and internal standards.

• Lead design reviews, technical risk closure and RCA with electronics, quality, manufacturing, procurement, suppliers and global R&D teams.

• Drive innovation, modular platforms, value engineering, cost optimization and sustainable design.

EXPECTED OUTCOMES

• Released designs with verified maturity, managed technical risk and complete qualification evidence.

• Manufacturable, cost-effective solutions meeting safety, reliability and performance targets.

ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related discipline.

• 8-12 years in mechanical/electromechanical product design and NPD, including 2+ years leading complex technical work in multidisciplinary or global projects.

• Strong product knowledge of wiring devices, including switches, socket outlets, fixing systems, cover frames, regulators and related accessories.

• Advanced working proficiency in PTC Creo, PDM/PLM, GD&T, tolerance analysis, engineering calculations and design documentation.

• Strong knowledge of engineering plastics, metals, manufacturing processes, assembly methods, DFM and DFA.

• Proven application of product safety, robust design, DFMEA, DVP&R, RCA, verification, qualification and applicable IEC/Indian standards.

• Ability to define reliability targets, plan life tests, analyze failure data and interpret Weibull or accelerated-life results.

• Clear technical communication, presentation, stakeholder influence and decision-making skills.

DESIRABLE / DIFFERENTIATING EXPERIENCE

• Home automation, home energy management, EV charging/E-mobility or renewable-energy products.

• ReliaSoft Weibull++/ALTA or equivalent reliability tools; simulation-driven design and electronics-mechanical integration.

• Modular architectures, platforming, connected products, sustainability and value engineering.

Role priorities: electromechanical design excellence | product safety and reliability | technical ownership of new product development

Internal assessment guidance: evaluate candidates against project evidence and demonstrated proficiency. Wiring-device design, NPD ownership, product safety and reliability are essential; emerging-domain and tool-specific experience are differentiators
