Prototype Engineer

As a Prototype Development Engineer, your role involves developing prototype models based on design documents and specifications. You will provide feedback on CAD models using Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles. Engage in Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) to identify and mitigate potential risks. Utilize your expertise in various fabrication techniques like casting, forging, machining, etc., to create accurate prototypes. Conduct detailed feasibility analysis to ensure manufacturability compliance with GD&T principles. Coordinate with the plant team for necessary facilities and product assembly knowledge. Resolve bottlenecks in product launch meetings to ensure on-time project completion. Collaborate with SCM team for sourcing prototype parts and document build issues for corrective actions. Work closely with cross-functional teams to refine prototype development processes. Qualifications Required: - Proficiency in CAD software such as SolidWorks, CATIA, AutoCAD, etc. - Strong knowledge of fabrication, machining, welding, and rapid prototyping techniques. - Experience with DFM, DFA, and DFMEA methodologies. - Hands-on experience with measuring instruments and quality inspection tools. - Strong problem-solving, coordination, and communication skills. - Ability to work in cross-functional teams to drive efficiency in prototype development. - Experience in heavy machinery or construction equipment prototyping. - Knowledge of SAP, supplier management, and cost optimization strategies.,
