Coordinate design or component changes with purchasing, project, production and other relevant teams.
• Engineering Analysis & Calculations: Perform appropriate engineering calculations and technical evaluations to support design decisions, verify performance and identify potential design risks or improvement opportunities.
• Prototyping, Testing & Validation: Support prototype development, assembly and testing. Conduct or coordinate functional checks, collect test data, analyze results and recommend modifications to improve performance, reliability and usability.
• Manufacturing & Production Support: Work with production, suppliers and technicians to resolve fabrication or assembly issues, improve manufacturability and support efficient and cost-effective production methods. Assist with work instructions, process improvements and quality-related technical matters.
• Technical Documentation: Prepare and maintain engineering specifications, drawings, design records, technical reports, test records, work instructions, user documentation and other project-related engineering documents.
• Project Coordination & Progress Monitoring: Support project planning and execution by tracking engineering tasks, design status, outstanding actions, material readiness and key project milestones. Provide progress updates and coordinate technical activities to support on-time completion.
• Research & Development / Continuous Improvement: Support R&D and improvement activities by evaluating new materials, technologies, components and design methods. Stay informed of relevant industry developments and assess practical opportunities for product or process improvement.
• Cross-functional Collaboration: Collaborate with project management, purchasing, production, quality, suppliers, technicians and other engineers to solve technical issues and ensure smooth project execution.
• Safety, Quality & Compliance: Ensure designs and engineering activities follow applicable safety practices, quality requirements, internal procedures and relevant technical or industry standards. Promote a safe working environment during design, testing, assembly and site activities.

Qualifications & Candidate Profile:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline; diploma holders with strong relevant technical experience may be considered.
• Strong foundation in mechanical engineering principles, machine design and practical problem-solving.
• Proficiency or working knowledge of SolidWorks and CAD for 3D modelling, assemblies and 2D technical drawings.
• Ability to read, interpret and prepare mechanical drawings, dimensions, tolerances and technical specifications.
• Familiarity with manufacturing processes, materials selection, machining, fabrication and assembly methods is advantageous.
• Basic understanding of BOM structures, part control, engineering revisions and technical documentation.
• Project coordination skills with the ability to organize tasks, monitor progress and work toward project milestones and deadlines.
• Good analytical skills for evaluating test results, technical issues and design alternatives.
• Good verbal and written communication skills for customer discussions and coordination with internal and external stakeholders.
• Strong attention to detail, teamwork, ownership, safety awareness and ability to manage multiple tasks in a project-based environment.

Preferred / Advantageous Experience:

• Experience in machine design, custom equipment, mechanical assemblies, fixtures, jigs, automation or project-based engineering.
• Experience supporting prototype builds, testing, troubleshooting or production improvement activities.
• Knowledge of ERP systems, BOM maintenance, engineering change processes or document revision control.
• Exposure to supplier technical coordination, component selection and cost-conscious design.

Fresh Graduates & Internship:

• Fresh graduates and engineering internship applicants are welcome; interns may support CAD modelling and drawings, BOM updates, prototype/testing activities, technical documentation, project tracking, manufacturing support and R&D tasks under supervision.
