The posting is for 2025 and 2026 graduates with a B.E. or B.Tech in Mechanical, Automotive or Aeronautical engineering and at least 60% throughout their academics. The listed CTC is 3.2 LPA and there is a 2 year service agreement. ## Job Overview | Detail | Information | |---|---| | Company | KPIT | | Role | Trainee (Technical Illustrator, Parts Catalogue Author or Technical Author) | | Job ID | 82118 | | Openings | 10 | | Location | Coimbatore | | Position type | Full time | | Experience | 0 years | | Qualification | B.E. or B.Tech in Mechanical, Automotive or Aeronautical engineering | | Batch | 2025 and 2026 graduates | | Academic criteria | 60% throughout academic career | | CTC | 3.2 LPA | | Service agreement | 2 years | | Last date | Not stated in the posting | ## The three roles explained The posting groups three roles under one Trainee opening. Each one is about turning engineering information into manuals and catalogues for automotive and mobility customers. ### Technical Illustrator You lay out and draw illustrations for technical manuals such as operating manuals, service and maintenance manuals, installation instructions, service bulletins and quick reference guides. The posting also mentions part shading and gradient fills to highlight details. You coordinate with authors and other teams to collect inputs and meet deadlines. ### Parts Catalogue Author You use engineering drawings to create exploded views from CAD models, following customer-specific global cataloguing standards. You coordinate internally and with an onsite coordinator to resolve queries, and you are responsible for accuracy and quality of the illustrations. ### Technical Author You develop and update product documentation, and work with engineers to interpret and write up technical information using set standards. ## Eligibility Criteria - B.E. or B.Tech in Mechanical, Automotive or Aeronautical engineering. - 2025 or 2026 graduation year. - 60% or above throughout your academic career (the posting says "throughout", so check your school, diploma and degree marks). - Fresher, 0 years of experience. - Willingness to sign a 2 year service agreement. ## Skills Required **Essential:** mechanical product or domain knowledge, customer relationship management, communication (written and verbal), problem solving and troubleshooting, time management and multitasking. **Preferred:** CAD tools such as Creo, CATIA, Teamcenter or Pro/E, and knowledge of XML and SGML. For the technical author role, the posting also mentions topic-based documentation and familiarity with content management systems. Across the three roles, the common competencies are attention to detail, the ability to work under tight deadlines, and quick learning of new tools. ## Salary and Benefits The posting states a CTC of 3.2 LPA. CTC means cost to company, so your in-hand salary will be lower after deductions. Ask about the monthly take-home, variable pay and any training stipend. KPIT describes learning initiatives for freshers, mentoring and development plans, but those are general statements from the company page, not guarantees for this role. ## The 2 year service agreement A service agreement means you commit to stay for two years or repay a stated amount if you leave early. The posting does not give the details. Before you accept an offer, read the agreement carefully and ask what the repayment terms are. This matters more than most freshers realise. ## Is this job right for you? **It suits you if:** - You are a mechanical, automotive or aero graduate who likes drawings and CAD more than heavy calculations. - You have a good eye for detail and enjoy producing clean, standardised documents. - You want an entry job in the automotive engineering services space. **You may want to skip it if:** - You want a design analysis, simulation or software development role. - You do not want a 2 year commitment. - You scored under 60% anywhere in your academics, since that is the stated cut-off. ## A day in the life Our reading of the duties, not an official schedule. As an illustrator you open a CAD model, prepare views, add labels and shading, and export illustrations for a manual. As a catalogue author you build exploded views and tag part numbers. As a technical author you sit with engineers, ask how a procedure works, and write clear steps. Expect to review each other's work and fix errors against the customer's style standard. ## 7-day preparation plan (general guidance) 1. **Day 1:** Revise engineering graphics: orthographic and isometric views, sections. 2. **Day 2:** Refresh a CAD tool you know and export an exploded view of a simple assembly. 3. **Day 3:** Learn what a parts catalogue contains: part numbers, item numbers, quantities. 4. **Day 4:** Read about technical writing: simple language, numbered steps, warnings. 5. **Day 5:** Learn the basics of XML so you can explain what structured content is. 6. **Day 6:** Practise explaining one project from your degree in two minutes. 7. **Day 7:** Mock interview and resume polish. ## Likely interview questions (general guidance) - What is an exploded view and why is it used? *Hint:* it shows the parts of an assembly separated so each can be identified. - Which CAD tools have you used? *Hint:* be honest, name projects. - How do you check the accuracy of your work? *Hint:* compare against the drawing, use a checklist, get a peer review. - How would you handle two deadlines at once? *Hint:* prioritise by customer impact and say how you communicate delays. ## Career path and what to learn next Technical publications work can grow into senior author, documentation lead, content strategist or product information roles. If you enjoy visuals, 3D illustration and interactive manuals are growing areas. Learning XML, S1000D concepts, and a content management system is a sensible next step. If you later want a core engineering role, build CAD and analysis skills alongside. ## Application checklist - List CAD tools and projects clearly on your resume. See [resume tips for freshers](https://latestindiajobs.com/resume-tips-for-freshers-india). - Keep your marksheets from Class 10 to your degree ready, since the academic criteria cover your whole record. See [documents required for job applications](https://latestindiajobs.com/documents-required-for-job-applications-india). - Prepare a short portfolio of drawings or CAD views. - Apply through the official registration link below. ## Scam and safety reminders Never pay for registration, training or a laptop. The official application goes through KPIT's own career portal. Read [how to identify fake job offers](https://latestindiajobs.com/how-to-identify-fake-job-offers-india) before sharing documents with anyone who contacts you on a messaging app. ## Common mistakes in technical publication applications These are general observations, not KPIT's official advice. - **Skipping the marks check.** The posting says 60% throughout the academic career. If you are borderline in Class 10, Class 12 or your diploma, confirm how the company counts it before spending time on preparation. - **Treating it as a CAD design job.** These roles produce manuals and catalogues from existing designs. Interviewers will test your eye for detail and clarity of explanation, not complex design calculations. - **Having no sample of your work.** Illustrators and catalogue authors can show an exploded view, a labelled assembly or a short instruction sheet. Technical authors can share a one-page how-to guide. Even two samples help. - **Not understanding the service agreement.** A 2 year commitment is a serious term. Ask about the exact repayment amount or conditions in writing before signing. - **Choosing the wrong role without reading the duties.** The three roles differ: drawing, catalogues and writing. Pick the one that matches your strengths and mention a second preference only if you are open to it. If you have never used tools like Creo or CATIA, say so honestly and describe the CAD software you did use. The posting lists those tools as preferred, not essential, so willingness to learn quickly is a fair answer when backed by a sample. ## How to Apply Open the official KPIT career portal link for Job ID 82118, read the posting and register through the Fill Application option.
