Create and approve 3D models, assemblies, detailed manufacturing drawings, and BOMs.

Ensure designs meet performance parameters across:

Ultrasonic cleaning technology

Mechanical design of tanks, chambers, structures, piping, jigs & fixtures

Electrical & instrumentation integration

Surface treatment process requirements

Conduct design reviews with cross-functional teams.

Ensure manufacturability (DFM), reliability, and safety (DFA, FMEA).

Maintain a strong library of standard designs, modules, and sub-assemblies for reusability.

B. Process & Productivity

Establish and enforce design standards, templates, and quality guidelines.

Define and streamline workflows within the Design Department.

Introduce automation in repetitive design tasks where possible.

Reduce design cycle time through modularization and standardization.

Implement systematic document control and revision management.

C. Cross-Functional Coordination

Work closely with:

Sales for technical proposals and preliminary layouts

Project Execution for understanding customer requirements

Production to resolve manufacturability issues

QC to ensure compliance

Procurement for component optimization and vendor alignment
