Job overview
Quest Global is recruiting a Mechanical Engineer in Chennai for work connected with heavy machinery and engine products. The experience range is short, 0 to 2 years, which makes it one of the more accessible openings for young mechanical, production and automobile engineers. At the same time, the listing wants at least one year of hands-on Creo modelling, so it is not a pure fresher role.
The job involves 3D modelling and detailing of sheet metal or cast parts, and it needs a good grasp of manufacturing drawings. If you enjoy CAD and want to work in engine design support, this posting deserves a close look.
What the Mechanical Engineer will do
The employer’s description is written mainly as requirements, so the day-to-day work can be understood from the skills it asks for:
- Model and detail sheet metal or casting parts in Creo.
- Apply GD&T and welding design guidelines while preparing drawings.
- Understand manufacturing and engineering systems and read drawings correctly.
- Work with product design, quality, manufacturing process, application, installation and performance topics for engine products.
- Communicate with team members, customers and suppliers about design questions.
Experience with Teamcenter and mock-up visualisation tools is preferred, since large engineering programmes store and review models through such systems.
Eligibility and experience
You need a bachelor’s degree, or an equivalent qualification, in Mechanical, Production or Automobile Engineering from an accredited institution. The stated experience is a minimum of 0 to 2 years, with excellent analytical skills.
The work experience section is stricter. It asks for a minimum of 1 year in Creo sheet metal or casting modelling and detailing, plus knowledge of GD&T and welding. Good verbal and written communication is described as mandatory.
Skills that will help you
The strongest candidates will show a practical mix of software and design knowledge. Focus on these areas:
- Creo parametric modelling, especially sheet metal and cast part features.
- Reading and creating detailed drawings with correct GD&T symbols.
- Weld symbols, joint types and basic weld design rules.
- Teamcenter basics, such as check-in, check-out and revision control.
- Understanding of heavy machinery and engine components.
A small portfolio of models and drawings from internships or college projects can make your application stand out.
Who should apply
This opening is a good fit for graduates with one year of CAD experience, and for final-year students who have already completed serious Creo projects. It is also a good move for automobile engineering graduates who want a design career in engines.
If you have never used Creo, consider learning it first, because the listing treats it as a core requirement.
How to prepare for the interview
Practise a timed Creo exercise, such as modelling a bracket in sheet metal with bends, holes and flanges. Review how a casting differs from a fabricated part, including draft angles, wall thickness and machining allowance.
Prepare to explain GD&T in simple words, for example how a position tolerance differs from a plain plus-minus tolerance. Also practise a two-minute introduction that links your projects to engine or heavy machinery products.
Resume tips for a CAD-based role
Make your Creo experience impossible to miss. Put it in your summary line, and then repeat it under each project where you used it. State the type of work, such as sheet metal housings, brackets or cast components.
Add a short skills table with Creo, GD&T, welding design, drawing standards and Teamcenter if you know it. Honest levels such as beginner, working or advanced are more useful to a recruiter than long lists.
If you have a portfolio, share sample renders or drawings that contain no confidential data. A clean PDF with four or five pages of work often creates a strong first impression.
Learning plan if you are short on experience
If you have less than a year of Creo experience, you can still prepare for similar openings. Complete a structured course, model five or six real parts from a catalogue, and prepare detailed drawings with GD&T for each one.
Practise sheet metal features such as flanges, bends and forms, and cast features such as drafts and ribs. Within a couple of months this practice can bring you close to the level the employer expects, and the portfolio you build will help in future applications.
Questions to ask the recruiter
You may find these questions useful when you speak to the recruiter:
- Will the work involve sheet metal, casting, or both?
- Which Creo version and Teamcenter setup does the team use?
- Is there training for engine product knowledge?
- What is the typical project duration and team size?
These answers will help you prepare for the technical round.
Common mistakes to avoid
Do not describe yourself as an expert in Creo if you have only completed a short course. Be honest about your months of experience. Avoid sending drawings with incorrect GD&T symbols, since the interviewer will notice.
Also avoid ignoring the weld design requirement. Even basic knowledge of weld symbols and joint types should be visible in your answers.
