for smooth handover to manufacturing.
Key Responsibilities
🔹 Product Design & Engineering
● Create detailed CAD drawings and 3D models (AutoCAD, Inventor, SolidWorks, etc.)
for new and existing architectural hardware products
● Ensure designs meet structural, functional, and aesthetic standards
● Conduct basic load-bearing and stress analysis to validate design strength
● Design with consideration for cost-effective manufacturing, including casting,
stamping, CNC machining, and other relevant processes
🔹 New Product Development (NPD)
● Support the conceptualization, prototyping, and detailing of new product lines
● Translate product ideas into manufacturable technical designs and production-ready
documentation
● Iterate on designs based on test feedback, feasibility checks, or customer inputs
🔹 Technical Documentation & Factory Coordination
● Prepare and maintain assembly instructions, technical specifications, BOMs, and
tolerance standards
● Serve as a key technical point of contact for factory teams, helping resolve
design-related queries during production
● Ensure proper version control and drawing accuracy across all files
🔹 Custom Order Engineering
● Create or adapt drawings for custom orders based on client-specific dimensions or
configurations
● Ensure all custom solutions are engineered with sound load distribution and
installation feasibility
● Support client-facing teams with any technical clarifications needed during sales or
execution phases
Qualifications
● Bachelor’s degree in Civil, Mechanical, or Industrial Design Engineering
● Minimum 5 years of experience as a Design Engineer in architectural hardware,
metalwork, furniture, or related manufacturing fields

● Strong understanding of structural loads, support systems, and mechanical
connections
● Familiarity with metal, glass, and wood fabrication techniques
● Excellent communication (English) and documentation skills
● Highly organized, reliable, and solution-oriented
Preferred Qualifications
● Hands-on experience with new product development (NPD)
● Prior experience with custom fabrication and manufacturing coordination
● Exposure to client communication or technical support in a hardware/product
environment
● Ability to work independently with remote teams and across time zones
What We Offer
● Competitive compensation based on experience
● Flexible remote working environment
● Opportunities to work on diverse and high-impact design projects
● Collaborative team culture with a focus on quality and execution
● Long-term growth potential across technical and operational roles
