Hyperstring Labs is looking for a hands-on Mechanical Design Engineer to take ownership of concept-to-fabrication mechanical design for conveyors, packaging machines and Special Purpose Machines (SPMs). The role requires strong 3D modelling using SolidWorks, preparation of fabrication-ready drawings/BOMs in AutoCAD, selection of drive and pneumatic components, and close coordination with electrical, automation and production teams.
Key Responsibilities
Conceptualize and create detailed 3D models and assemblies in SolidWorks for conveyors, pick-and-place units, gantries and packaging machinery.
Prepare fabrication-ready 2D drawings, detail views and BOMs using AutoCAD.
Select and size pneumatic cylinders, valves, suction cups and vacuum ejectors for handling systems.
Calculate and select geared motors, servo motors and stepper motors based on torque/speed and application requirements; understand basic mounting and wiring needs.
Design mechanical transmission systems (gears, sprockets, chain drives, toothed belts) and perform speed/torque calculations.
Integrate linear motion elements (LM guides, ball screws, V-guides), rack & pinion, and positioning systems into designs.
Design sheet-metal enclosures, control panels and SS304 structures; develop storage racks and welded frames.
Coordinate with electrical, automation and production teams; support procurement and fabrication; maintain version control and design change records.
Required Skills & Qualifications
Diploma / B.E. in Mechanical Engineering.
Strong command of SolidWorks (3D assemblies, motion study) and AutoCAD (fabrication drawings).
Proven experience designing conveyors, packaging machinery or SPMs.
Ability to size/select motors (geared/servo/stepper) and pneumatics for automation systems.
Good knowledge of machine elements, sheet metal design and manufacturing processes (welding, machining, assembly).
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; ability to produce production-ready documentation.
Good communication skills and ability to collaborate across disciplines.
Preferred / Nice to Have
Experience with packaging lines, material handling equipment or SPM manufacturing.
Familiarity with servo motion control, basic electrical mounting and wiring requirements.
Exposure to BOM management tools, PLM/version control or ERP integration.
❓ Screening question: Describe a conveyor or SPM you designed — include tools used, a brief description of the mechanism, and how you selected the drive/pneumatic components.
Why Join Hyperstring Labs
Work on end-to-end mechanical solutions across conveyors, packaging and automation projects.
Opportunity to grow technical ownership and lead design-to-fabrication deliveries.
Collaborative cross-functional environment with hands-on fabrication exposure.
Competitive CTC up to ₹6,00,000 per year.
