Job Role & Responsibilities
|
Role:
- Support end‑to‑end design, detailing, and validation of mechanical transmission components.
- Perform calculations related to:
- Gear ratios & gear train layout
- Gear macro & micro geometry
- Shaft and bearing sizing
- Clutch torque capacity and wear analysis
- Chain tension, sprocket geometry, and drive efficiency
- Develop and optimize clutch systems, including friction plate design, actuation mechanism, pressure plate geometry, and durability evaluation.
- Design and refine gear shifting mechanisms (shift forks, selector drum, shift shaft, detent mechanism).
- Design and validate drive chain and sprocket systems, including link selection, pitch, sprocket tooth profile, alignment, wear patterns, and noise/efficiency considerations.
- Review CAE, CFD, NVH, and durability analysis results and provide design improvement inputs.
- Support component and system‑level testing: gearbox endurance, clutch testing, chain–sprocket fatigue, and shifting mechanism reliability tests.
- Participate in root‑cause analysis for issues related to gears, clutches, chain drives, and shifting systems.
- Coordinate with manufacturing and suppliers to ensure DFM/DFA/DFS compliance, material selection, and process feasibility.
- Support prototype builds, validation activities, and engineering documentation including DFMEA, DRBFM, test reports, and drawing releases.
