Mechanical Design Engineer

About the role

We are looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer to join our New Product Introduction (NPI) team. You will support the mechanical side of product development, ensuring designs are manufacturable, reliable, and ready for scale.

Key responsibilities

• Support design processes using DFMEA, DFM/DFA and other engineering tools.
• Collaborate with electrical and software engineers to create electromechanical test jigs that improve production throughput.
• Define and document mechanical build procedures, assembly instructions, and production workflows.
• Provide hands‑on support during NPI builds, investigating root causes of mechanical failures and managing engineering change requests (ECN).
• Identify and implement improvements to streamline mechanical assembly and reduce build time.
• Work with the quality department on non‑conformance investigations and product quality enhancements.
• Contribute to the development of NPI team standards and processes.

Required profile

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
• Experience taking products from prototype to low‑to‑medium volume production.
• Proven ability to create and release technical documentation within a controlled change‑management system.
• Experience working cross‑functionally in a fast‑paced engineering environment.

Required skills

• 3D CAD modelling (SolidWorks).
• DFMEA, DFM/DFA, tolerance analysis and GD&T.
• Creation of 2D manufacturing drawings to BS8888.
• Material selection and knowledge of machining, sheet‑metal, moulding and assembly processes.
• Technical documentation and change‑control systems.
