Role Summary

Own the design, build and lifecycle of all mechanical, functional test (FCT) and pre-dispatch inspection (PDI) jigs across our product lines. You are accountable for making sure every jig produces accurate, repeatable results on the production line.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop mechanical jigs for assembly, screwing, potting, alignment and handling.
• Design pogo-pin based FCT fixtures (bed-of-nails): probe selection, PCB test-point mapping, guide plates, actuation (manual or pneumatic) and interface to test hardware.
• Develop PDI jigs for end-of-line verification of finished products.
• Own jig quality and repeatability: run GR&R/MSA, validate jigs before release, and set acceptance criteria.
• Give DFT/DFM inputs to hardware and mechanical teams early in NPI, covering test-point access, tolerances and fixturing features.
• Manage the full jig lifecycle: BOM, drawings, vendor fabrication, installation, operator SOPs, preventive maintenance and pogo-pin wear tracking.
• Work with hardware, firmware, test and production teams to cut test cycle time and false failures
• Maintain jig documentation and revision control

Requirements:

• B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical or Mechatronics.
• 3–6 years designing mechanical and electrical products
• Strong in SolidWorks, GD&T and tolerance stack-up.
• Hands-on with pogo-pin/bed-of-nails fixtures, toggle clamps, pneumatics and ESD-safe materials (FR4, Delrin, Bakelite, aluminium).
• Working knowledge of MSA/GR&R and basic electrical testing.
• Experience managing fabrication vendors (machining, laser cutting, 3D printing)
