The Role
As a Product Design Engineer, you will take concepts from brief to production-ready design, covering accessories and contributing to the next major trolley programme. This is a hands-on, end-to-end role with real project ownership.
- Design folding mechanisms, drive systems and product features in SolidWorks, from component level to full assembly.
- Take concepts through to production-ready designs, including tolerance analysis and DFM reviews.
- Create rendered concept images in KeyShot and produce graphics, packaging layouts and instruction artwork in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.
- Build and test prototypes, run on-course trials, and carry out stress, fatigue and usability testing.
- Work with UK and Far East suppliers on tooling, samples and fit and form validation.
