We are seeking a Mechanical Design Engineers to work with a small team contributing to project specific design / product configuration work following a welcome influx of customer contracts. This includes assembly & detail component design, generation of BOM's and design substantiation (eg calculations etc) and working with cross-functional teams to meet customer requirements & timescales.
Key Responsibilities
* Undertakes design of assemblies, sub-assemblies and components using Solidworks 3D CAD systems.
* Ensures designs are robust by using techniques such as FMEA / design review / DFM & DFS
* Drive repeatability and standardisation into custom stores projects by utilising equipment and sub-systems that are already developed and proven.
* Translates requirements for sub-systems into design solutions (based specifications from customer / lead engineer or line manager.
* Works with the design team to identify, analyse and resolve project difficulties before they arise.
* Cooperates closely with other functions in the Hardware design team including Electrical Design, Refrigeration, Systems Engineering.
* Applies a 'standard operations' approach to the design process (eg calculation templates) and works with team lead to reinforce & further develop company practices.
* Expected to keep up to date on technical advances in the discipline and related fields.
Skills and Aptitude Profile
* You will be knowledgeable in the use of 3D CAD Modelling (Solidworks preferred), PLM system (Agile preferred) and use of this technology to improve design quality & efficiency.
