* Collaborate daily with internal teams to ensure project timelines are met
* Support benchmarking and life testing to validate designs
* Create repeatable test methods and analyse results to drive continuous improvement
* Ensure designs meet quality, performance, and customer expectations
Skills & Experience
The ideal candidate will combine creativity with strong technical ability and attention to detail. You will be comfortable managing multiple projects at once and able to prioritise your workload effectively.
* CAD experience (Pro-E / Creo / Solid Edge / SolidWorks or NX)
* 3D rendering capability
* Strong sketching skills
* Experience with Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign)
* Model making experience
* Good understanding of material properties and manufacturing processes
* Mechanical and/or Electrical Engineering background
