Job description
About the Role
Kuwait Institute for Technology seeks enthusiastic mechanical engineering fresh graduates passionate about precision in design to join its fully remote research and engineering services team. This role emphasizes iterative development, requiring detailed, methodical design improvements across multiple versions to deliver high-quality engineering solutions.
Key Responsibilities
- Create numerous versions of technical sketches, CAD drawings, calculations, and reports to satisfy project specifications, typically involving 10 to 20 design iterations per project.
- Work on diverse projects including product conceptualization, mechanical solutions development, machine and structural design such as wind turbines and eco-friendly structures, as well as MEP system designs like HVAC, plumbing, and firefighting systems.
- Employ advanced simulation tools including SolidWorks, MATLAB, SAP, and ANSYS to analyze and optimize designs.
- Deliver compiled technical documentation including detailed drawings and analysis reports.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, graduated in 2024 or later targeting fresh graduates.
- Strong abilities with AutoCAD and SolidWorks software.
- Capability to develop thorough technical reports and documentation.
- Proficient English communication skills, both spoken and written.
- Solid foundational understanding of mechanical engineering concepts.
Preferred Qualifications
- Familiarity with MATLAB, SAP, or ANSYS software.
- Portfolio showcasing CAD drawings and design work.
- Any practical internship or project experience in mechanical design.
Ideal Candidate Traits
- Derives fulfillment from repetitive refinement of designs over several iterations rather than task variety.
- Detail-focused and systematic problem solver.
- Capable of working independently after training with minimal supervision.
- Dependable and punctual in meeting strict batch delivery deadlines.
- Thrives in cycles of intense work followed by scheduled recovery breaks.
Unsuitable Candidate Profiles
- Those seeking fieldwork, manufacturing roles, or site visit opportunities; this role is office-based and remote with no site presence.
- Candidates looking for diverse, rapidly changing engineering disciplines weekly or daily.
- Applicants awaiting other job offers.
- Individuals requiring highly flexible hours incompatible with fixed batch schedules.
Why Join KIT?
- Structured paid vacations: enjoy over 30 paid vacation days annually aligned with planned batch breaks rather than accrued leave without use.
- Opportunity to grow an impressive and diverse mechanical design portfolio.
- Clearly defined career advancement path through three tiers (Junior Designer to Lead Designer) with specified salary milestones and merit-based increments beyond Tier 3.
- Performance-linked salary increases rewarding quality output over tenure.
Position Details
- Employment type: Full-Time, Remote position based in Egypt.
- Work schedule consists of 8 hours per day, 6 days per week, mimicking office structure despite remote work.
- Compensation includes a base salary of 10,000 EGP, a screen allowance of 1,500 EGP activated after 101 working days, and a performance allowance up to 1,500 EGP subject to a three-month performance review.
Application & Selection Process
- Evaluation emphasizes attitude and work ethic foremost.
- Academic achievements in core mechanical engineering courses are reviewed.
- Technical skills assessed via CAD portfolio or software proficiency self-rating.
- Honest and candid responses required concerning work habits during the selection.
- Interviews assess personality and cultural fit.
- Shortlisted candidates undertake short design assignments mimicking actual tasks to confirm suitability before contract offers.
