What you’ll be doing Modifying and improving existing designs to meet safety compliance, manufacturability, usability and cost targets Creating and developing mechanical component designs, with a strong focus on sheet metalwork Producing 3D CAD models (SolidWorks, Siemens NX or similar) and accurate 2D manufacturing drawings and technical documentation Applying Design for Manufacture and Design for Assembly principles to get the machines ready for high-volume production Supporting prototype builds, product trials and design validation Working closely with Electrical Engineering colleagues to integrate sensors, PCBs and other electromechanical devices Working within project budgets and spotting opportunities to bring costs down What we’re looking for A degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline Hands-on experience designing sheet metal components and assemblies A background in a high-volume production environment, with a solid understanding of DFM and DFA Strong 3D CAD skills, ideally SolidWorks or Siemens NX, plus experience producing 2D manufacturing drawings Experience supporting prototype builds and design verification trials An understanding of electromechanical systems and confidence working alongside electrical engineers A proactive, practical problem-solver who takes ownership and enjoys finding better, smarter, more cost-effective ways of doing things A clear communicator who works well as part of a close-knit project team The package Circa £43,000 basic salary Annual bonus of up to 15% BUPA private healthcare Health cash plan Enhanced pension scheme Life assurance scheme Flexible start and finish times It’s rare to join a market-leading engineering business at the very beginning of a new venture, with the freedom to influence the product and the backing of a global group behind you. If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you. Apply with your full CV online or contact Jess Heywood at Cubed Talent for more information and a confidential chat.
