* Maintain and contribute to product technical files to ensure compliance with relevant standards and regulations.
* Coordinate with suppliers, consultants, and internal R&D functions (test, electrical/software) to achieve project objectives.
* Support design reviews, DfMA activities, and lessons‑learned sessions.
* Apply rapid prototyping and testing methods to validate new concepts.
* Support engineering change control, quality improvement, and internal process development.
* Ensure Health & Safety requirements are fulfilled at all times.
We’re looking for:
* Degree (or equivalent) in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
* Minimum 2 years’ R&D experience in a manufacturing or product development environment.
* Proficient CAD user (Autodesk Inventor preferred).
* Experience with PLM systems and engineering change management.
