Product Design Engineer 

Location: On Site - Bengaluru - Bhive Address Maker (Ulsoor) 

Type: Full-time 

Shift Timings: 3 Days in Office (5pm to 1am) 

Experience: 4–6 years in product design, with CAD/engineering software background 

Reports To: CEO & CTO 

About Hanomi.ai 

Hanomi is building the intelligence layer that transforms isolated CAD files into living organizational knowledge. We automate production-ready 2D technical drawings from 3D CAD models with full GD&T specifications, serving aerospace, defense, shipbuilding, and high-precision manufacturing clients across Asia, the US, and Europe. 

Today, we turn hours of 2D drawings into minutes. Tomorrow, we make decades of CAD knowledge as accessible as importing a code library. Every tolerance, every drawing, every design decision captured, understood, and instantly accessible. 

We've raised $3M from investors including HOF Capital and Entrepreneur First, and we're workingwith major enterprises across multiple continents. Our founding team brings experience from NASA JPL, Williams Racing Formula 1, and Imperial College London. 

About the Role 

We're looking for a Design Engineer who understands the world of CAD and engineering software, someone who can translate complex mechanical engineering workflows into intuitive, powerful interfaces that feel native to the engineers who use them. 

This is not about disrupting how engineers work, it's about amplifying them. You'll design desktop applications and web platforms that mechanical engineers recognize and trust, drawing inspiration from tools like SolidWorks, Autodesk Fusion, CATIA, and ANSYS. You'll work directly with our CEO and CTO, collaborating daily with mechanical engineers to craft experiences that feel intuitive from day one. 

You'll own the end-to-end design experience: from user research and interaction design to visual design and branding. You'll help define and evolve Hanomi's design language where CAD wireframes meet abstract art, technical precision meets creative possibility, and every element asks:Does this show mastery? Does this inspire innovation? Does an engineer see themselves here? 

Responsibilities 

Product Design 

• Design and iterate on our desktop application and web platform, creating interfaces that 

mechanical engineers find intuitive and powerful 

• Study and internalize the UX patterns of established CAD tools (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, 

CATIA, NX, ANSYS) to create familiar, frictionless workflows 

• Own the complete design process from user research and wireframing through high-fidelity 

prototypes and production-ready specifications 

• Conduct user research with mechanical engineers to deeply understand their workflows, 

pain points, and mental models 

• Create interaction patterns for complex CAD operations: file handling, assembly navigation, 

tolerance specification, drawing generation, and manufacturing context input 

Brand & Visual Design 

• Evolve and maintain Hanomi's visual identity across all touchpoints product, marketing, 

sales materials, and documentation 

• Translate our design language (orange-driven, CAD wireframes meeting abstract art, 

technical precision meeting creative possibility) into cohesive visual experiences 

• Create visual assets that resonate with engineering audiences where every element 

communicates mastery and inspires innovation 

Collaboration 

• Work directly with the CEO and CTO on product vision and strategy 

• Collaborate closely with mechanical engineers on the team to ensure designs respect and 

enhance engineering workflows 

• Partner with engineering to ensure designs are implemented with fidelity and technical 

feasibility 

• Contribute to defining product requirements and prioritization based on user insight 

Requirements 

Experience 

• 4–6 years of experience in product design, UX design, or design engineering 

• Previous work at CAD, PLM, simulation, or engineering software companies (e.g., Autodesk,Dassault Systèmes, Siemens, PTC, ANSYS, Altair, or similar) 

• Proven experience designing desktop applications understanding the unique patterns and 

constraints of native app design vs. web 

• Strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end ownership of design projects, from research 

through shipped product 

Skills 

• Deep understanding of engineering workflows and the mental models of mechanical 

engineers, manufacturing engineers, or designers 

• Mastery of design tools: Figma for UI/UX design; familiarity with prototyping tools 

• Experience with design systems building and maintaining component libraries that scale 

• Strong visual design skills with attention to typography, color, spacing, and hierarchy 

• Ability to communicate design decisions clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders 

Mindset 

• Comfort operating in an early-stage environment with ambiguity and rapidly shifting priorities 

• Genuine curiosity about manufacturing, engineering, and how physical products are 

designed and made 

• Willing to relocate to Bangalore and work in-person with the team 

Preferred (Bonus) 

• Front-end development skills (React, TypeScript, Electron, or similar)—ability to prototype or 

implement your own designs 

• Experience with 3D visualization, WebGL, or rendering technologies 

• Background in mechanical engineering, industrial design, or related technical field 

• Experience designing for GD&T, tolerancing, or technical drawing workflows 

• Prior startup experience or founding experience 

What We Offer 

• Opportunity to shape the design vision of a product that will transform how mechanical 

engineering is done 

• Direct access to founders - work closely with the CEO and CTO on strategic decisions 

• Competitive salary and meaningful equity participation 

• High-ownership role where your work directly impacts the product and company trajectory 

• Opportunity to work with enterprise clients across aerospace, defense, and advanced 

manufacturing 

• Collaborative, technical team with backgrounds from NASA, Formula 1, and top engineering
