Mechanical Design Engineer
Witney, Oxfordshire | £40,000 - £45,000
Work on high-performance engineered products. Take ownership from concept to production.
Orion Electrotech are partnered with an innovative engineering manufacturer operating within the high-performance automotive and motorsport sector. With a reputation for engineering excellence and customers across global performance-focused markets, the business is continuing to invest in new product development and is looking to strengthen its engineering team.
As a smaller, highly specialised business, engineers here have the opportunity to be genuinely involved in the entire product lifecycle. You'll work closely with manufacturing, prototyping, and production teams, giving you real ownership over projects and the chance to see your designs evolve from initial concept through to finished product.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys solving complex engineering challenges, being hands-on with development work, and having a visible impact within a growing organisation.
