Job Summary

ABOUT BUYMYEV
buymyEV is an electric two-wheeler (2W) mobility company building battery-electric commuter scooters (L1/L2 category).
We are in an active build phase across product development manufacturing R&D infrastructure and org scaling with a
pipeline of 34 vehicle models targeting an annual production of units and global expansion plans over the
next 23 years.

ROLE SUMMARY
We are looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer with strong hands-on expertise in plastic component design to own the
design development and industrialization of plastic and composite parts for our electric scooter platforms including
body panels fascia under-body components storage/utility parts and functional brackets/housings. The role sits at the
intersection of design DFM/DFA tooling and supplier development and is critical to hitting cost quality and program
timelines across multiple vehicle programs.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Design and develop injection-molded plastic components (body panels fascia mudguards under-cowl glove box
storage compartments battery/controller housings brackets) for 2W EV platforms using CAD tools
(Creo/CATIA/SolidWorks/NX).
Own part-level design from concept through PPAP concept sketches surfacing tolerance stack-up DFM/DFA
mold-flow analysis inputs and design validation.
Select appropriate resins/grades (PP ABS PP-TD/GF PC-ABS PA-GF TPE/TPU) based on functional aesthetic
UV/weathering and cost requirements.
Work closely with tool designers and tooling vendors on mold design reviews gate/runner/ejection strategy parting
lines draft angles and shrinkage compensation.
Drive design for snap-fits ribs bosses living hinges and assembly features to eliminate fasteners and reduce assembly
time/cost.
Coordinate mold trials first-article inspection and resolve warpage sink marks flow lines weld lines and other
molding defects with vendors.
Collaborate with Industrial Design Styling Electrical Body-in-White and Testing teams to ensure fit finish and
functional integration on the full vehicle.
Support GD&T tolerance analysis and mating-part studies to ensure panel gaps flushness and NVH targets are met.
Plan and review validation testing UV/weathering thermal cycling vibration impact and material property testing
with test labs.
Manage BOM cost part weight and material cost targets; identify value-engineering opportunities across programs.
Own supplier/vendor technical interactions for plastic parts RFQs design reviews tooling timelines and PPAP sign-
off.
Maintain design documentation drawings ECNs and part release records in line with the product development / stage-
gate process.

Requirements
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE

B.E./ in Mechanical Automobile Production Plastics or Polymer Engineering ( is a plus).
38 years of experience in mechanical design of plastic components ideally within automotive two-wheeler or
consumer durables/EV OEMs or their Tier-1 suppliers.
Demonstrated experience designing injection-molded exterior and interior plastic parts through to mass production
(multiple part/program launches).
Strong working knowledge of plastic materials additives and their behavior under thermal UV and mechanical
loading.
Hands-on proficiency in 3D CAD (Creo/CATIA/SolidWorks/NX) and 2D drafting/GD&T as per ASME Y14.5.
Practical exposure to mold design principles mold-flow analysis (Moldflow or similar) and tooling processes.
Experience working directly with tooling vendors and molders including mold trials and defect troubleshooting.
Familiarity with a formal stage-gate/PDP (product development process) and APQP/PPAP documentation.
Good understanding of vehicle-level integration panel fits gaps NVH and durability considerations.

PREFERRED / GOOD TO HAVE
Prior experience specifically on electric two-wheelers or automotive body panels.
Exposure to FEA basics for plastic part structural checks.
Knowledge of sustainable/recycled plastic materials and their application in mobility products.
Experience working in a fast-paced startup or new-program environment with tight timelines.
