Role
We are looking for a highly driven and talented Mechanical Design Engineer with deep experience in developing electro-mechanical products to join our integrated Development Team of Engineers, Software Developers, Scientists, and Designers.
At its core, this role involves envisioning new automated cleaning machines that tackle new challenges our manufacturing clients face, then designing, engineering, and testing they work. As a multi-functional design engineer, you’ll be expected to be the glue that brings together the electronics, motion systems, and structural elements into a single, mass manufacturable product, that functions flawlessly and delights its users.
You’re a hands-on, intuitive, and inventive designer who can’t help quickly mocking up working prototypes to test out ideas and learn by doing. That said, you are comfortable rapidly sketching out ideas to explore concept directions and have a keen eye for design and aesthetics and able to balance form and function.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You should be comfortable starting with a blank sheet of paper and brief and working all the way through to a fully detailed product ready for manufacturing. Already, you have strong experience with sheet metal forming, machining, casting, injection molding, and electronic hardware and wiring integration.
As with any role at the bleeding edge of innovation, what you know now, won’t be enough – so you will be curious and hungry to learn more to fill any gaps in your knowledge and experience and keep pushing the boundaries of what we can do together.
Key Responsibilities
- Design Engineering of new Cleaning Machines: mechanical engineering, automation design, aesthetic design, integration of all product system elements (motion, sensing, electronic hardware, UI).
- Idea generation, concept development, physical prototyping, and testing of solutions.
- Generation of mechanical CAD data (3D modeled in Creo/Solidworks) and engineering drawings detailed for mass production.
- Sourcing and liaison with suppliers and manufacturing partners.
- Test planning, testing, and liaison with certification bodies where appropriate.
Desirable
- Finite Element Analysis using software integrated into 3D CAD software.
- CAD Rendering (with KeyShot or equivalent).
- Automation control programming.
Qualifications & Attributes
- Strong First-Class Degree in Product Design Engineering/Industrial Design Engineering/Mechanical Design Engineering or equivalent.
- 5+ years successful commercial experience in at least 2 companies with many examples of electro-mechanical industrial or consumer products you have designed and engineered that demonstrate how you have tackled similar challenges we will need to overcome in the future. This is a hands-on development role, not a management role.
- Experienced in 3D CAD (Creo/Pro-Engineer/Solidworks or equivalent).
- Experienced detailing parts and products for manufacture.
- Strong drawing / visualisation skills.
- Driven, curious, collaborative, inventive, and tenacious to get the job done and work within a tight-knit Development team.
- Creative, ambitious, along with a desire to 'get stuck in'.
