Who Are We (https://www.niqorobotics.com//)

Niqo Robotics is a Bangalore based Agri-tech company centred at AI, Computer Vision and Robotics, revolutionizing the way farming is undertaken in India and the world. Our mission is simple - Building accessible and reliable robots for sustainable farming.

Skills needed:

Senior Design Engineer with proven expertise in sizing and selecting hydraulic and sprayer systems for agricultural implements or any other industries. Brings hands-on experience in transforming complex design concepts into production-ready solutions while maintaining engineering excellence.

Responsible for developing sprayer system

- Concept generation and evaluation (PNID creation, Initial sizing of components based on pressure and flow, Pump sizing,Pipe sizing)

- Detailed engineering design (Engineering calculation, Material selection, Component Selection, Fittings and pipping selection, Solenoid selection, Nozzle selection, Nozzle filter selection, Characterization of pressure and flow)

- CAD (Routing, Mounting and Assembly considerations)

- Testing and Validation (FEA, Engineering Calc and analysis)

- Manufacturing process understanding and DFM (Sheet metal, welding, machining etc, hose selection, Different fittings for Quick and reliable joins)

- Design for assembly and production (DFA, Poke Yoke concepts, Assembly time etc)

- Engineering drawings and documentation (2D component drawings, Assembly Drawings, Operation and maintenance manual)

- Must demonstrate proven ability to take projects from initial concept through final production release, with expertise in both creative conceptualization and rigorous technical implementation.

Tools: Hands on experience in using Solidworks CAD tool (Part, Assemblies and 2D drawing and routing) and should be able to work and handle large assemblies in CAD.

- Should have worked on PLM tools like windchill, team center and should understand ECN, ECR and Design release process.

What you will do here:

- Serves as a technical point of contact for assigned work package scope and may serve as a focal point for all communications related to scope

- Develops engineering designs for the given work package from concept to 2d drawing & specification creation and implementation of the changes on product

- Will be responsible for all the engineering deliverables like PNID, Specification for process components, CAD design, Engineering calculations, Tolerance stack up, 2d Drawing and engineering presentation

- Should be able to take the design through design review gate process and should responsible for presenting and making sure engineering design is released on time

- Will be responsible for selecting and sizing process components like Pumps, Solenoids, Filters, Check valves, Nozzles, Pipes and fittings etc

- Will be responsible for testing and validating the components selected

- Uses analytical and risk evaluation tools to expose root causes and defines counter measures.

- Using robust design tools like Pugh Matrix, DFM/DFA, DFMEA, DFS effectively for design finalization

- Coordinate with several functional teams to progress the design work and meet the design intent.

- Implementation and testing of proto designs when needed to prove the design

- Mentoring junior engineers in design best practices

Experience : 7 to 10 Year Experience

Preferred Industries (Not mandatory): Agriculture Robotics, Energy, Automotive, Automation, Special purpose machines
