Experience: ~20+ years
Qualification: BE / BTech – Mechanical or Mechatronics Engineering - full time

We have an exciting leadership opportunity with one of our reputed clients in the Aerospace & Defence domain. The role demands strong expertise in electro-hydraulic actuator systems, stabilization systems, and flight guiding applications, along with deep experience in mechanical systems engineering.

Role Overview

The incumbent will lead end-to-end mechanical and system design activities, driving projects from conceptualization through production and field deployment, with a strong focus on aerospace and defence applications.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and development of electro-hydraulic actuation systems, including valves, cylinders, circuits, and linear actuators for high-load applications.
• Expertise in kinematics linkage design, gears & sprockets, spring design, and high-pressure hydraulics.
• Act as System Architect / Integrator, owning complete system design, verification, validation, and production handover.
• Lead NPD/NPI programs, coordinating design, testing, vendor development, manufacturing interfaces, and production ramp-up.
• Perform and review FEA models, tolerance stack-up analysis to minimize design iterations.
• Apply quality and reliability tools such as DFMEA, DFSS, RCA, Risk Analysis, Ishikawa/Fishbone, and 8D methodology.
• Hands-on experience with 3D CAD tools: CATIA V5, CREO, SolidWorks, and AutoCAD.
• Selection and application of bearings, bushings, oil seals, piston rings, and related mechanical components.
• Sound understanding of material standards such as GOST, BS, BOFORS, L&T, and other international standards.
• Support prototype development, digital and physical verification, and resolution of field issues.
• Build and lead a strong techno-commercial engineering team, providing technical direction and mentoring.

Mandatory Aerospace & Defence Experience

• Proven experience in aerospace applications, specifically:
  • Electro-hydraulic actuator systems
  • Stabilization systems
  • Flight guiding / flight control applications
• Strong system engineering experience in aerospace programs.
• Hands-on exposure to linear actuators used in aerospace or defence platforms.
• Experience working on stabilization systems for aerospace or defence applications is mandatory.

Desired Candidate Profile

• BE / BTech in Mechanical or Mechatronics Engineering.
• ~20+ years of experience in mechanical structures engineering, hydraulics, casting, and machining.
• Extensive experience in taking concept designs to production, including field issue resolution.
• Experience in defining hydraulic cylinder strokes, cylinder sizing, and system-level design.
• Background in defence engineering, aerospace systems, earth movers, or construction machinery is preferred.
• Strong leadership, communication, and project management capabilities.
