Azenta Life Sciences 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.
What You'll Be Doing
* 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.
What You'll Bring
* Graduate or HNC (engineering, manufacturing, or similar) with a wealth of experience in mechanical system design.
* Familiar with automation design eg motors, gearboxes, bearings, positional accuracy.
* Can detail design components, add dimensions and tolerances, tolerance stack calculations.
* Can design assemblies including generation of assembly drawings and BOM’s.
* Can work effectively as part of a team.
* Can communicate clearly with colleagues regarding design intent, assessment of various design options & problem resolution.
* Can work with Operations and Test team during build and testing phases.
* Understands manufacturing methods and designs accordingly.
* Has worked with PLM systems and understands routing & approval of design documents (drawings, CAD models, calculations etc).
* Direct experience of generating design calculations.
* Must be able to use SolidWorks 3D CAD system.
