Job Description
As a Design Engineer based at Prestige Technostar in Bangalore, you will drive the mechanical development of subsystems and assemblies that form the backbone of complex industrial systems. This is a “full-lifecycle” role—you aren’t just sketching parts; you are taking a high-value problem from the scoping stage through conceptual development, simulation, manufacturing release, and field testing. You will be expected to balance innovation with practical manufacturing constraints like DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and DFA (Design for Assembly).
Requirements
- Education: B.E / B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
- Experience: 3 to 5 years of demonstrated experience in mechanical design.
- Core Technical Prerequisites:
- Proficiency in Solidworks and Catia (both 2D and 3D).
- Experience with static structures, dynamic assemblies, and pneumatic/hydraulic elements.
- Strong understanding of GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) and part tolerances.
- Experience with Engineering Change Notices (ECN), system integration, and sustenance projects.
Roles and Responsibilities
- Subsystem Development: Design mechanical assemblies that meet fit, form, and functional requirements within a master Bill of Materials (BOM).
- Design for Excellence: Drive designs using DFM, DFA, and Design for Reliability principles to ensure products are easy to build and hard to break.
- Root Cause Analysis (RCA): Troubleshoot moderate to complex mechanical problems, perform RCA, and drive technical solutions under general supervision.
- Simulation & Optimization: Collaborate with cross-functional teams on simulation requirements, interpreting data to optimize mechanical performance.
- Documentation & Release: Prepare detailed production drawings, test plans, and project documentation including DFMEA, DVP&R, and Product Specifications.
- Field Support: Provide informal guidance to newer team members and support field engineers during assembly builds, which may include short-duration travel to customer sites.
How to Apply?
Role Summary
At Dover, a Design Engineer is a “Product Architect.” Because Dover serves such diverse markets—from clean energy to imaging—you might find yourself designing high-precision pumps one day and robust fueling systems the next. The role demands a high “Mechanical IQ,” specifically the ability to apply the Stage-Gate process to navigate the ambiguity of new product development.
Company Culture & Insights
Dover operates with a decentralized, entrepreneurial philosophy. This means that while you have the backing of a massive corporation, the individual “operating companies” under the Dover umbrella maintain their own cultures and agility.
Diversity & Representation Statistics: Dover is committed to an inclusive workplace. Based on recent global workforce reporting (approx. 2024-2025):
In the Bengaluru hub, Dover focuses heavily on multi-cultural virtual team interaction, ensuring local talent has a significant voice in global product roadmaps.
Global Gender Diversity: Approximately 24% of the total workforce are women, with active initiatives to increase this in engineering and leadership.
U.S. Racial/Ethnic Diversity:
White: 61%
Hispanic/Latino: 16%
Black/African American: 12%
Asian: 8%
Other: 3%
Why We Recommend This Job
- Exposure to Diversified Tech: Very few roles allow you to work across five different industrial segments simultaneously. Your “technical vocabulary” will expand rapidly.
- Reliability Focus: Mastering MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) calculations and DVP&R (Design Verification Plan and Report) at a company like Dover makes you a top-tier engineer in any industry
Career Growth Potential
- Senior Design Engineer: Taking full ownership of a product subsystem (e.g., the chassis or the drilling arm).
- Lead Engineer / R&D Manager: Overseeing the technical roadmap for a specific machine category.
- Specialist – Structural/Hydraulics: Becoming a global Subject Matter Expert (SME) within Epiroc for specific engineering disciplines.
Skills You’ll Gain
| Category | Specific Competencies |
| Design Tools | Solidworks, Catia (Expert 3D Modeling), AutoCAD. |
| Analysis | DFMEA (Failure Mode Effects Analysis), RCA, Simulation Interpretation. |
| Manufacturing | DFM/DFA, GD&T, Material & OEM Component Selection. |
| Project Mgmt | Stage-Gate Process, ECN/ECM, Product Specification Drafting. |
Salary & Benefits Info
- Estimated Salary: For a Design Engineer with 3-5 years of experience in Bengaluru’s manufacturing sector, the Total Compensation (TC) typically ranges from ₹10,00,000 to ₹16,00,000 per annum, depending on the depth of experience with Catia/Solidworks and specific segment expertise.
- Benefits: Hybrid work model, comprehensive medical insurance, wellness programs, 401(k) style retirement savings (PF), and opportunities for global collaboration and travel.
Frequently Asked Interview Questions
- Material Selection: “Walk me through your process for selecting a material for a dynamic component subject to high-cycle fatigue in a pneumatic system.”
- GD&T: “How do you apply the Maximum Material Condition (MMC) modifier to a positional tolerance on a drawing? What are the manufacturing benefits?”
- Troubleshooting: “Describe a time you performed a Root Cause Analysis on a product failure. What were the ‘Five Whys’ that led you to the solution?”
- Manufacturing: “Give an example of a design change you implemented specifically to improve the Design for Assembly (DFA) of a subsystem.”
Behavioral & Culture Questions
- Ownership Mindset: “Dover values an ownership mindset. Can you describe a project where you took initiative beyond your defined responsibilities to ensure its success?”
- Virtual Collaboration: “How do you handle technical disagreements when working in a multi-cultural virtual team across different time zones?”
- Adaptability: “How do you stay updated with changing market trends and new technologies in mechanical engineering?”
