Step into a role where your mechanical thinking has real-world impact. As a Product Design Engineer: Mechanical, you will help design mechanical systems built to thrive in harsh industrial environments, where accuracy and documentation matter. This is a rare opportunity to own work that directly influences product reliability, from early R and D through to design validation and release. If you enjoy collaborating across disciplines and taking products from concept to manufacturing-ready outputs, the Product Design Engineer position offers the momentum, autonomy, and career development to match.
As Product Design Engineer: Mechanical you will:
- Own mechanical product development across the full lifecycle, from early R and D through to design validation and release, in a fast-moving industrial setting.
- Create DFM-ready drawings and the documentation that makes manufacturing smoother and change control clearer.
- Manage BOMs and help lead ECR processes, ensuring engineering changes are tracked accurately and implemented effectively.
- Collaborate closely with electronics and software teams, bringing enough technical literacy to remove bottlenecks rather than create them.
- Deliver design outputs that meet challenging constraints such as corrosion resistance, extreme temperatures, confined access, and high-consequence failure modes.
- Support handovers to manufacturing by keeping drawings and configurations consistent and reliable.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
