We are excited to be working with an established engineering organisation that is going through a significant period of growth and looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer to join its expanding team. This is a fantastic opportunity to work on technically complex products within a highly regulated environment, supporting projects from initial concept through to production.
What You’ll Do
You will design and develop aerospace products from initial concept through to qualification and production. Working alongside multidisciplinary engineering teams, customers, and suppliers, you’ll turn complex technical requirements into reliable, high-performing, and manufacturable solutions.
Responsibilities
- Lead the mechanical design and development of aerospace products throughout the full product lifecycle.
- Translate customer specifications and airworthiness requirements into robust design solutions.
- Develop detailed product specifications, considering performance, materials, cost, manufacturability, and operational efficiency.
- Produce and maintain engineering drawings, 3D CAD models, and bills of materials.
- Validate designs through engineering analysis, testing, and interpretation of results.
- Ensure products meet performance, safety, reliability, and regulatory requirements.
- Investigate non-conforming products and implement appropriate corrective actions.
- Support new product development and continuous improvement initiatives.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, customers, and external suppliers.
