Job Description - Senior Mechanical Engineer (00124640)
Job title: Senior Mechanical Engineer
Salary: Up to £45,000 - £55,000 dependent on skills and experience
What you’ll be doing:
* Generate design concepts and solutions from first principles to meet project and customer requirements, supported by sketches, hand calculations, and associated data packs.
* Prepare and present engineering data packs for internal review and in a customer forum, check and approve datasets (drawings/MBD) for correctness to required standards, ensuring they reflect design intent and adequately define parts for manufacture and inspection.
* Identify, define, and manage work packages to derisk areas of the product design early in the lifecycle.
* Be competent in the validation and verification of requirements using appropriate tools (e.g., DOORS) and manage these through the engineering lifecycle.
* Work collaboratively across all engineering disciplines, liaising with technical specialists as required.
* Manage the work of mechanical engineers and technicians, taking technical responsibility for design solutions and technical data packs produced, and peer check the work of other mechanical engineers including designs, design data, hand calculations, and technical reports.
Your skills and experiences:
* Meet the requirements of UK-SPEC at the Chartered Engineer Level.
* Proven track record of product development from concept through to production, with strong technical ability in applying knowledge and experience to solve problems, including new technologies and innovations for complex engineering systems.
* Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related subject preferred or demonstrable equivalent experience, with the ability to apply physics and engineering principles to derive/validate designs.
* Competence in the use of CAD tools (CREO preferred) to prepare design models and technical datasets (drawings/MBD).
* Experience in areas including avionic systems, optical displays, mechatronics, electronics packaging, anthropometrics, design with composites, additive layer manufacture, and test and measurement equipment will be valuable.
* Capability to use specialist dynamic, structural, and thermal analysis tools is an advantage, including validation of the output of these tools.
The Senior Mechanical Engineering Team:
This role provides Mechanical Engineering support for the design and development of new innovative designs through to fault finding, diagnostics, and salvage of existing products. A Senior Mechanical Engineer will innovate and work with other Engineers/Technicians to develop ideas into a detailed scheme supported by calculations and reports to demonstrate compliance with requirements, including risk reduction testing as needed. The expectation is to provide a high-quality service to customers, on time and within budget with minimal management oversight.
