* Leading technical design activities on complex engineered products
* Managing product evolution and ensuring customer compliance
* Driving design reviews, validation and qualification activities
* Working closely with specialists across stress, thermal, materials, manufacturing and testing disciplines
* Acting as a key technical interface with customers, suppliers and project stakeholders
* Supporting trials, investigations and product performance assessments
We’re looking for engineers who:
