Key Responsibilities
1. New Product Development (NPD)
- Design and develop complete Hydraulic Breaker and Plate Compactor attachments from concept to production.
- Conduct market requirement studies, customer usage pattern analysis, and machine-compatibility layouts.
- Select materials, wear components, hydraulic motors, vibration assemblies, bushings, mounting kits, and housings considering performance & cost.
- Establish validation plans—lab testing, field testing, durability testing, noise/vibration compliance.
2. Reverse Engineering (RE)
- Perform tear-down, measurement, scanning, and documentation of OEM/competitor attachments.
- Generate full engineering dataset:
- 3D CAD models and drawings
- Weld map and GD&T extraction
- Material & heat-treatment mapping
- BOM reconstruction and cost estimation
- Identify weaknesses, failure modes, and improvement opportunities based on competitive benchmarks.
3. Re-Engineering (Value/Performance Upgrades)
- Upgrade reverse-engineered designs to meet performance, cost, and manufacturability targets.
- Improve:
- Impact force delivery & durability (for breakers)
- Vibration efficiency & compaction depth (for plate compactors)
- Wear protection, dust sealing, and serviceability
- Localize critical components to reduce procurement cost and lead time.
- Replace proprietary components with globally available equivalents while maintaining or improving performance.
4. CAE & Structural Validation
- Define loads and boundary conditions for:
- High-impact & shock loading (breakers)
- High-vibration & dynamic loading (compactors)
- Review and interpret FEA results for:
- Static and fatigue life of housings, brackets & welds
- Resonance frequency, vibration damping & rigidity
- Incorporate test feedback into iterative design improvements.
5. Prototype, Trial & Field Performance Support
- Coordinate prototype manufacturing with fabrication, casting, and machining vendors.
- Support hydraulic integration and auxiliary flow regulation during field testing.
- Record field observations, failure data, and customer feedback to close the design loop.
6. Product Release, Documentation & Compliance
- Release BOM, routing, technical specs, cost sheets, weld maps, assembly instructions in PLM (Teamcenter/Windchill).
- Author DFMEA, DVPR, reliability reports, assembly instructions, and service manuals.
- Ensure compliance with industry standards such as ISO, SAE, EN and internal safety/quality protocols.
Tools & Skills Required
| Domain | Required |
| CAD | SolidWorks |
| RE Tools | Scan-to-CAD / GD&T extraction |
| Hydraulics | Flow/pressure mapping, motor sizing, cavitation/back pressure |
| Manufacturing | Welded structures, cast housings, wear plates, heat treatment |
| Processes | NPD, VA/VE, DFMEA, DFM/DFA, ECO/ECN |
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Manufacturing – weld sequencing, casting feasibility, tolerance stack-ups
- Hydraulics – auxiliary circuit rating, heat build-up control
- Supply Chain – vendor development and localization
- Quality/Test – PPAP, DVP&R, failure analysis
- Service – customer complaints & maintenance feedback
Key Success KPIs
- New product development schedule adherence
- Cost reduction achieved through re-engineering/localization
- Field performance & durability vs competition
- BOM accuracy and manufacturing readiness (first-time-right release)
- Reduction in iterative redesign cycles & warranty claims
Education & Experience
- B.E/B.Tech or M.E/M.Tech in Mechanical / Automotive / Industrial / Machine Design.
- 8–12+ years experience in heavy mechanical attachments / hydraulic tools / demolition or compaction machinery.
- Experience in reverse engineering + welded heavy structures + hydraulic attachment validation is a strong advantage.
