Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

The role

A Mechanical Design Engineer will close the gap between development and production. You will design and build prototypes, assess manufacturability, and correct designs based on production feedback.

What you will do

• Decide what needs proving before a design is released
• Design and build prototypes and test setups
• Assess manufacturability and assemblability
• Work hands-on with design engineers to devise builds and trials
• Use in-house prototyping and sourcing to get prototype parts
• Develop how readiness is assessed
• Work with production engineering on issues found in production
• Correct CAD and drawings and take them through release
• Work within design control and medical device change processes

Required qualifications

• Mechanical design and CAD depth proven on products taken from design into production
• Hands-on build and rapid prototyping experience
• Time spent on a production floor
• Design for manufacturing and design for assembly applied in practice
• Devising and running practical tests
• Fluent in drawings, tolerancing and tolerance stack-up
• Comfortable working inside a controlled release and engineering change process
• Self-driven
• Works well with manufacturing and sourcing

Nice to have

• Experience of regulated products, medical devices or another regulated industry
• Familiarity with ISO 13485 or EU MDR design control
