HIRING | PRODUCT DESIGN / MECHANISM DESIGN ENGINEER
Defence R&D Precision Engineering Indigenous Product Development
HUBLI, KARNATAKA | On-site
Astr Defence Pvt. Ltd.
www.astrdefence.com
Experience: 2–8 Years
Astr Defence is a deep-tech defence technology company developing indigenous small arms, launchers, fire-control systems, electro-optics, thermal imaging and counter-UAV technologies for the Indian defence ecosystem.
We are looking for a hands-on Product Design / Mechanism Design Engineer who can convert engineering concepts into precise, manufacturable and reliable hardware.
THIS IS NOT JUST A CAD JOB
We are looking for an engineer who understands:
DESIGN → TOLERANCE → MACHINING → ASSEMBLY → TESTING → IMPROVEMENT
You should be comfortable solving real-world problems involving fit, clearance, interference, tolerance stack-up, precision machining and functional performance.
WHAT YOU WILL WORK ON
- Mechanism and precision product design
- Complex mechanical assemblies and moving mechanisms
- Design for VMC / CNC turning / grinding / honing / precision machining
- GD&T, fits, clearances & tolerance stack-up
- Worst-case and statistical tolerance analysis
- Precision component and assembly development
- DFM / DFA and manufacturing-ready drawings
- Prototype development and validation
- Root-cause analysis of design/manufacturing problems
- Shop-floor interaction and design corrections
- Improving dimensional accuracy, surface finish and repeatability
- Structural / thermal analysis where required
- Design iteration based on testing and field feedback
- Collaboration with electronics, optics, software and systems engineers
THE ENGINEER WE ARE LOOKING FOR
You should have:
✅ Strong machine / mechanism design fundamentals
✅ Excellent understanding of GD&T, fits, clearances and tolerance stack-up
✅ Practical understanding of precision machining and manufacturing processes
✅ Experience with VMC, CNC turning, grinding, honing, jig boring or similar precision processes
✅ Ability to understand how a component will actually be manufactured, measured, assembled and tested
✅ Strong proficiency in SolidWorks / Fusion 360 or equivalent
✅ Ability to troubleshoot interference, tolerance and functional problems
✅ Hands-on prototype / shop-floor experience
✅ Ability to independently take a design from concept → drawing → prototype → validation → improvement
Defence / aerospace / automotive / precision engineering / industrial mechanism experience is preferred.
WHAT MATTERS MORE THAN YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
We are particularly interested in engineers who can look at a mechanism and ask:
"Will this actually work when manufactured?"
Not just:
"Can I model it in CAD?"
We value:
Engineering judgement Precision Problem solving Manufacturing awareness Ownership
WHY JOIN ASTR DEFENCE?
Work on real indigenous defence products, not routine CAD assignments.
You will get exposure to:
- Product development from concept to production
- Precision mechanisms
- Advanced manufacturing
- Prototyping & testing
- Design-for-manufacturing challenges
- Cross-functional defence technology
- Rapid design iteration and problem solving
For the right engineer, this is an opportunity to build deep product-development expertise, rather than becoming only a CAD modeller or drawing engineer.
