HireSetu's note
Gates and extras
A BE in Mechanical and one to three years of relevant experience are firm. Strong CAD is the next gate, since the day job is modelling and drawing. GD&T and ANSI Y14.5 drafting standards are listed as good knowledge, and they decide whether your drawings can leave your desk, so treat both as real requirements.
SolidWorks or Creo certification is written as an added advantage. If you have solid modelling work behind you and no certificate, that alone shouldn't stop you applying. Word and Excel are there for documentation, which tells you the written side of the role is real but light.
Revise the drawing standards and fixtures
Mechanical fundamentals here means physics, materials and standards. For GD&T, know datums, feature control frames, maximum material condition and tolerance stack-up. For fixtures, work through locating principles, the 3-2-1 rule, clamping, and how a part is loaded without losing repeatability.
Component fabrication and testing sit inside the remit, so bring one drawing you produced and explain it callout by callout, including why each tolerance sits where it does. Modelling speed matters less than knowing what the number on the drawing is doing.
The team and the tool
The posting names Chennai and onsite work. Ask which site you'd report to and which product line your drawings feed. Whether the output goes to a Chennai manufacturing team, an overseas engineering group, or both decides how much back-and-forth sits between your model and a built part.
Also settle which CAD package is the primary one day to day. Both SolidWorks and Creo appear, and going back and forth between them for a year gets tiring.
