About This Role
We are recruiting for a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to join a specialist engineering business working on the restoration, recreation and improvement of classic and historic vehicles.
You'll be working on the restoration, recreation and improvement of classic and historic vehicles.
This isn't about designing the same parts day after day. Every project is different, and you'll get to see your designs go from CAD to manufacture and ultimately onto the vehicle.
The Role
- Design mechanical components and systems from concept through to manufacture
- Produce 3D CAD models, drawings and BOMs
- Reverse engineer existing and obsolete components
- Use measurements and 3D scanning to recreate parts
- Design improvements for performance, reliability and manufacturability
- Work across suspension, steering, braking, drivetrain, engine, chassis and powertrain systems
- Work closely with workshop, machining and fabrication teams
- Support prototyping, testing and installation
- Provide technical guidance to engineers and technicians
