Mechanical Design Engineer

Join the Visionary Team at Dream Realization Lab

At the Dream Realization Lab (DRL), we are the innovative force behind Dhahran Techno Valley Company (DTVC), transforming groundbreaking ideas into tangible, high-performance prototypes across diverse industries. From cutting-edge energy solutions and industrial systems to consumer electronics and smart technologies, our mission is to deliver robust, manufacturable designs that push the boundaries of what’s possible. As a fast-paced, collaborative team, we thrive on creativity, hands-on problem-solving, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. If you’re a Mechanical Design Engineer passionate about bridging the gap between concept and reality, we invite you to be part of our dynamic journey.

The Opportunity

This is not just another CAD role—it’s a chance to immerse yourself in the entire product development lifecycle, from initial concept exploration to prototyping, testing, and final documentation. You’ll collaborate closely with Electrical, Controls, and Industrial Design teams to create integrated solutions that address real-world challenges. Our projects are diverse, timelines are ambitious, and the problems we solve are often novel, requiring adaptability, ingenuity, and a willingness to think outside the box.

What You’ll Achieve

As a Mechanical Design Engineer at DRL, your work will drive impactful innovation across multiple dimensions:

• Design and Modeling Excellence: Craft precise 3D parts and assemblies in SolidWorks, ensuring parametric models and engineering drawings adhere to the highest standards. Apply Design for Manufacture (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), and Design for Reliability (DFR) principles to optimize designs for manufacturability, assembly, and serviceability. Conduct tolerance analysis and annotate drawings with Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) to support internal fabrication processes. Translate multidisciplinary requirements from Electrical, Controls, and Industrial Design into cohesive mechanical solutions that meet performance and functional objectives.
• Prototyping and Hands-On Innovation: Bring designs to life by building, testing, and refining physical prototypes using advanced techniques such as FDM and resin 3D printing, laser cutting, CNC machining, and manual fabrication. Leverage 3D scanning and reverse engineering workflows to digitize existing components or physical references, ensuring accuracy and precision. Plan and execute structured testing protocols to validate design decisions, iterating rapidly based on real-world feedback to refine solutions.
• Collaborative Problem-Solving: Actively contribute to enhancing lab workflows by proposing innovative tools, processes, and methodologies as the team scales. Tackle complex, ambiguous challenges by breaking them down into structured engineering problems and driving them toward validated solutions. Develop creative mechanical mechanisms and design solutions tailored to unique, non-standard requirements where off-the-shelf answers are insufficient.
• Comprehensive Documentation: Produce meticulous engineering documentation, including detailed drawings, Bill of Materials (BOMs), assembly instructions, and design rationale records. Author clear, technical reports that document design decisions, test results, and prototype documentation to facilitate seamless handoffs to manufacturing teams. Maintain organized CAD file structures and rigorous revision control throughout the project lifecycle to ensure traceability and consistency.

Why You’ll Thrive Here

We’re seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer who embodies a blend of technical expertise and hands-on curiosity. Your profile should align with the following:

• Education and Experience: Hold a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Product Development Engineering, or a related field. Bring several years of hands-on experience in product development, R&D, or prototyping environments, where engineering standards are rigorous—think consumer electronics, industrial equipment, medtech, or robotics. Your track record should demonstrate a proven ability to deliver physical prototypes, not just theoretical designs.
• Technical Proficiency: Mastery of SolidWorks is non-negotiable, with a strong foundation in 3D part design that integrates both additive and subtractive manufacturing principles. Gain hands-on experience with rapid prototyping methods, including 3D printing, laser cutting, CNC machining, and 3D scanning. Proficiency in producing detailed drawings with tolerances and GD&T is essential. Familiarity with FEA or CFD simulation tools is a significant advantage, though not mandatory.
• Personal Attributes: Be a strong communicator capable of articulating complex technical ideas to diverse stakeholders across disciplines. Embrace a hands-on, curious mindset, equally energized by refining CAD models as you are by building prototypes in the workshop. Approach novel challenges with resilience and creativity, thriving in environments where traditional solutions are insufficient. Demonstrate organization and self-direction, with the ability to manage ambiguous tasks and deliver results under tight deadlines.

At DRL, we don’t just build prototypes—we build the future. If you’re ready to take on challenges that demand innovation, collaboration, and precision, we’d love to hear from you.
