Mechanical Design Engineer
São Paulo, SP
Research and Development – Mechanical Engineering /
Full-time /
On-site
As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you will transform concepts into robust mechanical designs by creating precise 3D models and detailed drawings that guide manufacturing and assembly. You will apply GD&T principles to ensure functional accuracy and tolerance compatibility, collaborating with engineers, suppliers, and manufacturing teams to deliver designs that balance performance, cost, and reliability.
Responsibilities
- Develop 3D models and 2D drawings using CAD tools, ensuring accuracy and manufacturability.
- Apply GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) to control critical dimensions and guarantee functional fit.
- Translate engineering concepts and requirements into clear technical documentation.
- Review designs for compliance with standards, tolerances, and best practices in mechanical engineering.
- Collaborate with product engineers, analysts, and manufacturing teams to resolve design challenges.
- Maintain CAD libraries, templates, and drawing standards to streamline workflows.
- Support prototype builds and provide design updates based on test and validation results.
- Prepare technical packages for suppliers and ensure alignment with production capabilities.
- Collaborate with hardware, firmware, quality, and manufacturing teams to align technical decisions with product reliability and compliance.
- Deliver clear reports and presentations summarizing risks, mitigation plans, and their impact on product design and lifecycle.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering or Related Field
- Strong proficiency with CAD software (SolidWorks, NX, CATIA, or similar).
- Hands-on experience with GD&T and tolerance stack-up analysis.
- Knowledge of manufacturing processes (machining, injection molding, casting, etc.).
- Ability to create detailed technical drawings and documentation for suppliers.
- Strong understanding of mechanical assemblies, fit, and function.
- Attention to detail and commitment to high-quality standards.
- Good communication skills and ability to collaborate in multidisciplinary teams.
- Proactive, self-directed learner who drives issues to closure.
- Advanced English level.
- Live in or have availability to move to São Paulo.
Bonus points
- Proficiency in Blender (or equivalent 3D modeling/rendering software) and CAD tools.
- Experience with high-aesthetic standard injected products, including in-depth knowledge of plastic injection molding processes and technical application details.
- Familiarity with PLM systems and design-for-manufacturing methodologies.
