Quick answer: One engineer covering the whole loop: model the enclosure or fixture in SolidWorks, get it made, then fix what production and vendors report back. The 0 to 5 year band is real, freshers included, but this is wider than a CAD seat.
From Matlabs's job posting
Design & Development
- Create detailed 3D models, assemblies, and manufacturing drawings for mechanical components and instrumentation systems using SolidWorks (AutoCAD/CATIA exposure is a plus)
- Design complete instrument systems including enclosures, fixtures, mounts, and precision assemblies
- Apply DFM/DFA principles to ensure manufacturable, cost-effective, and service-friendly designs
Instrumentation & Prototyping
- Develop and integrate instrumentation solutions to meet functional and operational requirements
- Build, test, and validate prototypes to verify design concepts and performance
- Support design iterations based on testing, field feedback, and production constraints
Production & Manufacturing Support
- Work closely with production and assembly teams to resolve technical issues and optimize manufacturing processes
- Support transition from prototype to production, ensuring design intent is maintained
- Assist in material selection, tolerances, surface finishes, and fabrication methods
Sourcing & Vendor Coordination
- Identify, evaluate, and coordinate with vendors and suppliers for mechanical components
- Support procurement activities while maintaining quality, cost, and delivery timelines
- Collaborate with vendors during fabrication and troubleshooting stages
Engineering Analysis & Documentation
- Perform basic engineering analysis (stress, thermal, fitment, functional checks); FEA/CFD exposure is an advantage
- Prepare and maintain technical documentation, including drawings, BOMs, specifications, and manuals
- Ensure designs comply with industry standards (ASME, ISO, ASTM) and internal quality guidelines
Collaboration & Continuous Improvement
- Collaborate with electrical, software, applications, and service teams for seamless system integration
- Diagnose and resolve design-related issues during development and production
- Proactively identify opportunities for design, performance, and process improvements
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent practical experience
- Freshers and experienced candidates welcome—skill, curiosity, and passion matter more than titles
- 0–5 years of experience in mechanical design, instrumentation, or manufacturing support
- Strong proficiency in SolidWorks (Part, Assembly, Drawing)
- Good understanding of materials, manufacturing processes, and mechanical systems
- Experience or exposure to vendor coordination and sourcing is a plus
- Strong problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills
- Ability to work independently and in cross-functional teams
- High attention to detail and commitment to quality
Preferred / Added Advantage
- Experience with instrumentation, laboratory equipment, battery manufacturing tools, or automation systems
- Knowledge of GD&T
- Familiarity with FEA / CFD tools
- Exposure to project coordination or basic project management tools
Work Environment
- Office-based role with hands-on involvement in manufacturing and testing
- Occasional visits to vendor sites, manufacturing floors, or customer locations
- Travelling as per project requirements

HireSetu's note
A wide band, freshers included
The posting says skill and curiosity matter more than titles, and the responsibilities back that up. You could be modelling an instrument enclosure one day and on the phone with a fabricator the next about a tolerance that won't hold. Someone two years out of college with strong SolidWorks sits roughly level with a five-year candidate here.
What separates applicants is whether you have made something physical. A college project that got fabricated, a print that failed and got redesigned, an internship on a shop floor. If your SolidWorks work is only coursework models, draw one real bracket with GD&T callouts and a flat BOM before you apply.
Kalher is an industrial address
Kalher sits on the Thane to Bhiwandi road, closer to the Bhiwandi manufacturing belt than to Thane station. That suits the job: a desk with regular trips to the assembly floor, plus vendor and customer visits and project travel. Ask how far the vendors are and how much of a month goes to travel, since that decides both your commute and your week.
The role is onsite and hands-on, testing included. Being comfortable around a workshop and a measuring instrument counts as much as screen time.
Where two years of this gets you
You end up in a small group of engineers who can take an instrument from drawing to production, and that is what equipment makers, lab-instrument and energy storage companies hire for. GD&T and FEA or CFD appear as advantages, and they are also the door into design-analysis and precision-assembly roles later.
Vendor and sourcing exposure is the other fork. Some engineers go deep on design, others into procurement and project coordination, and basic project management tools show up in the preferred list, so that second path exists in-house too.
