A business that generate truly unique products are looking to hire a Mechanical Design Engineer on a contract basis (outside of IR35) to design a bespoke test rig (special purpose machinery / special purpose equipment design)? If you enjoy working on blank sheet of paper design and solving clients’ problems through liaising with them then this may be the role for you.

4. Managing and prioritising personal workloads, to deliver on time, to budget and to specification
5. Being responsible for creating and maintaining technical documentation including mechanical drawings, BOMs and design specifications
6. Liaise with third party manufacturers as required
The successful Mechanical Design Engineer will likely have the below qualifications and/or experience:
7. Professional qualification in Mechanical Engineering
8. Highly skilled in 3D CAD
9. Highly proficient with Special Purpose Machinery design
10. Any experience specifically with remote handling or robotic arm technology would be an advantage
