Job Description: Mechanical Design Engineer Salary High Plus Bonus and Benefits Purpose of Role To work as part of a development team with specific responsibility for mechanical and functional design. The role covers the entire lifecycle of the product from initial concept through design, validation, field trials, release into production and maintenance. The successful candidate will be completing design work using 3D CAD and FEA techniques, working with particular focus on fluidic and thermal performance. As such, for the position of Mechanical Design Engineer candidates should have experience of designing complex assemblies and have practical experience of designing for fluidic flow, thermal, shock and vibration considerations. The role will also involve designing to achieve the most cost effective solution for manufacture, and as such experience of lean manufacturing would be desired. Key Challenges Understanding how customers use products and the issues they face. Understanding design for manufacture. Understanding cross-functional interaction between mechanical parts, electronics, fluids etc. Producing verifiable data to support design assumptions. Working with a wide variety of stakeholders Deadlines need to be agreed and held Person Specification Ability to understand customer and technical requirements and work out the impact on the whole design (not just the mechanical elements) Ability to think outside your own discipline Strong analytical skills Motivated by why and how things work Demonstrated use of initiative Structured thinking with use of data to prove assumptions Qualifications and Experience Essential A degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent A good grounding in applied mathematics, physics or chemistry At least 5 years experience on products of similar complexity e.g. precision electro-mechanical, high reliability and industrial environments Proven understanding of fundamental manufacturing principles 3D CAD modelling essential - Solidworks would be an advantage Understanding of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing including tolerance stack-up analysis Solid understanding of capability studies for designs, jigs and fixtures. Desirable Proven experience of using finite element methods for stress and thermal characterisation Proven experience of plastic mould design including injection, flow, warpage and shrinkage Design for automated assembly Proven experience of die casting / metal machining processes Appreciation of high volume manufacturing (100,000 units per year) Experience of using PDM systems for engineering change control.
