Senior Mechanical Engineer – Design & Production Support
Location: Hosur, Tamil Nadu
Company: Global Water Solutions (GWS)
Employment Type: Full-time | Work from Office | Individual Contributor (IC)
About the Role
Global Water Solutions (GWS) is establishing a new manufacturing facility in Hosur for the production of next-generation Q Systems, RO, UF, and other water treatment products. We are looking for a hands-on Mechanical Engineer to support greenfield factory setup, production line commissioning, manufacturing engineering, and continuous improvement. This is a shop-floor-focused role, not a purely mechanical design office position.
Key Responsibilities
- Support factory layout, production line setup, equipment selection, installation, commissioning, validation, and production ramp-up.
- Design and develop jigs, fixtures, gauges, tooling, workstations, and production equipment.
- Improve assembly processes, line balancing, ergonomics, material flow, cycle time, and manufacturing efficiency.
- Provide mechanical support for sheet metal, fabricated structures, tubing, fittings, pumps, valves, compressors, heaters, chillers, and electromechanical assemblies.
- Support new product introduction (NPI), DFM/DFA reviews, product localization, pilot builds, and engineering changes.
- Troubleshoot mechanical, assembly, leakage, vibration, thermal, and reliability issues, and lead root cause analysis with cross-functional teams.
- Establish preventive maintenance plans for production equipment and maintain maintenance records and critical spares.
- Prepare engineering documentation, including CAD models, drawings, BOMs, SOPs, work instructions, and maintenance procedures.
- Coordinate with local vendors, fabricators, contractors, and equipment suppliers.
- Drive Lean Manufacturing, 5S, process improvements, and train production operators on safe manufacturing practices.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Production, Mechatronics, or Industrial Engineering (Diploma with strong relevant experience may be considered).
- Minimum 5 years of hands-on experience in manufacturing, production engineering, assembly line setup, industrialization, equipment commissioning, or plant maintenance.
- Experience designing jigs & fixtures and working with sheet metal, machined parts, plastics, fasteners, tubing, fittings, pumps, valves, and electromechanical assemblies.
- Proficiency in SolidWorks and/or AutoCAD, with knowledge of GD&T, DFM/DFA, engineering drawings, and engineering change control.
- Strong shop-floor troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and problem-solving skills.
- Knowledge of Lean Manufacturing, 5S, PFMEA, preventive maintenance, and production documentation.
- Good communication skills specially in English.
Preferred Industry Background
Candidates from water purifiers, water dispensers, RO/UF systems, HVAC & refrigeration, pumps, industrial equipment, consumer appliances, consumer durables, or other electromechanical assembly manufacturing industries are highly preferred. Experience with plumbing assemblies, leak/pressure testing, chillers, compressors, heaters, valves, and water systems is an added advantage.
Why Join GWS?
- Be part of a greenfield manufacturing facility from day one.
- Work on innovative water treatment and dispensing products for global markets.
- Collaborate with international engineering teams in a fast-growing organization.
- Competitive salary, health insurance, performance bonus, and excellent career growth opportunities.
