Responsibilities & Key Deliverables

The Bearing Designer is responsible for the design, development, validation, and optimization of rolling element bearings and related components. The role involves conducting engineering calculations, creating 3D models and drawings, performing design analysis, supporting prototype development, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver high-performance bearing solutions that meet customer and industry requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop ball bearings, roller bearings, thrust bearings, and specialized bearing systems.
• Perform bearing calculations including load ratings, life calculations (L10), contact stress analysis, and lubrication requirements.
• Create detailed 3D CAD models, assemblies, and manufacturing drawings using software such as CATIA, Creo, SolidWorks, or NX.
• Conduct tolerance stack-up analysis and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T).
• Perform finite element analysis (FEA) to evaluate stress, deformation, fatigue life, and thermal performance.
• Select appropriate materials, heat treatment processes, and surface treatments for bearing components.
• Coordinate prototype manufacturing, testing, and validation activities.
• Analyze test results and implement design improvements for performance, durability, and cost optimization.
• Collaborate with manufacturing, quality, purchasing, and supplier teams to ensure product feasibility and manufacturability.
• Support root cause analysis of bearing failures and develop corrective actions.
• Prepare technical documentation, specifications, design reports, and engineering change requests.
• Ensure compliance with relevant standards such as ISO, ABMA, DIN, and customer-specific requirements.

Experience

• Experience with e-mobility, electric drive units, and transmission bearings.
• Proficiency in CAD software such as CATIA, Creo, SolidWorks, or Siemens NX.
• Experience with CAE/FEA tools such as ANSYS, Abaqus, or HyperWorks.
• Knowledge of GD&T, tolerance analysis, and manufacturing processes.
• Familiarity with automotive, industrial, aerospace, or EV applications is preferred.

Industry Preferred

This role is ideal for engineers passionate about rotating machinery, tribology, and advanced mechanical design, particularly in automotive, industrial, and EV drivetrain applications

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
• 3-8 years of experience in bearing design, rotating equipment, or automotive component design.
