Senior Mechanical Designer Engineer

The mechanical design engineer is responsible for the design of new and existing products within the company’s portfolio of products. This can include taking an idea to the concept stage, developing the design, ensuring that it conforms to the relevant standards, calculations and FEA where required to verify designs. The engineer is also responsible for the product design, project planning and execution throughout the project life cycle, including gathering and prioritising project and customer requirements, defining the project objectives, and working closely with the team to ensure revenue and customer satisfaction goals are met.

There will also be a need to undertake design reviews to manage the product to the final design stage whilst also ensuring that “Design for Manufacture” (DFM) principles are applied. Products will need to be fit for the purpose intended, that their form matches the design requirements and that the product functions as intended by the design brief.
