Engineering Documentation: You'll create and review engineering drawings according to BS/ISO8888 and ISO9001 standards. Managing the release and change of technical documentation using established processes will be part of your role.

Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFM/DFA): Evaluating designs for ease of manufacturing and assembly, you'll optimize them to minimize production costs.

Design Reviews and Stakeholder Engagement: Leading and participating in design reviews with internal and external stakeholders, you'll collaborate to ensure alignment on project goals.

Product Validation and Testing: Supporting product validation testing and creating engineering reports, you'll analyse test data and propose design changes as needed.

Risk Assessment and FMEA: Providing technical input for Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) and Process FMEA (PFMEA), you'll mitigate risks related to mechanical design and manufacturing processes.

About You

You should have completed a Masters Degree in Mechanical Engineering with a minimum of a 2:1 awards and be able to demonstrate strong knowledge of engineering materials and first principles such as heat transfer, thermodynamics, and stress analysis. A working knowledge of 3D CAD systems (PTC Creo preferred), and PLM systems (PTC Windchill preferred) is essential, however training on the specific systems will be provided.
