Mechanical Design Engineer
Are you a Mechanical Design Engineer looking for an opportunity to work across the full product development lifecycle, from initial concept through to production?
We’re working with an established engineering business that designs and manufactures innovative mechanical and electro-mechanical products. Due to continued growth, they are looking for a talented Mechanical Design Engineer to join their Design Office.
This is a varied, hands-on role combining mechanical design, product development, prototyping, testing, and project management, giving you the opportunity to take ownership of projects and see your designs progress from concept into manufacture.
The Role
As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you will be responsible for designing and developing mechanical and electro-mechanical products whilst working across multiple product development, R&D, continuous improvement, and customer-led projects.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Designing and developing mechanical and electro-mechanical products from concept through to production.
- Producing detailed 3D CAD models, assemblies, manufacturing drawings, and engineering documentation.
- Using Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD, and Autodesk Vault to develop and manage designs.
- Carrying out engineering calculations, tolerance analysis, and FEA to support design decisions.
- Creating and maintaining BOMs, specifications, and technical documentation.
- Supporting concept generation, design reviews, and technical evaluations.
- Planning and carrying out design verification and validation activities.
- Building, assembling, and testing prototypes using workshop equipment and additive manufacturing technologies.
- Analyzing test results and implementing design improvements.
- Managing Engineering Change Requests (ECRs) and associated design change processes.
- Managing multiple engineering projects simultaneously, including project plans, schedules, risks, and deliverables.
- Working closely with Engineering, Production, Quality, Sales, suppliers, and customers.
- Providing technical support and helping resolve manufacturing and product issues.
- Supporting root-cause investigations, continuous improvement, and cost-reduction initiatives.
- Ensuring designs are robust, manufacturable, cost-effective, and suitable for production.
