Job Description
We are looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer with Solidworks experience, and a keen interest in a variety of niche projects.
Design Engineer Job Summary:
Working as part of a close-knit team, the Design Engineer will be preparing design briefs and working to detailed specifications and BOM’s, to fulfill client expectations. This is an exciting opportunity to get involved in design for niche, but varied project requirements, across a global customer base.
The successful Design Engineer needs to be experienced enough to make the role their own, capable of prioritizing their own workload and applying a creative, innovative mindset in order to deliver against objectives. Internal training will be provided, but previous experience of working with a varied customer portfolio/design projects would be hugely advantageous.
Design Engineer Key Responsibilities:
* Preparing design briefs and detailed specifications.
* Design and draught work, using AutoCAD and Solidworks software.
* Prepare detailed setout, fabrication, and general arrangement drawing.
* Produce technical files for products, as well as literature for user instructions and marketing material.
* Manage projects from initial enquiry and concept through to completion.
* Communicate internally and externally with appropriate stakeholders to ensure any progress or updates are effectively communicated.
* Offer end-to-end support with design, research, and development of new products (from initial concept through prototyping, pre-production, and final release).
* As and when required, attend on-site/off-site meetings (with clients or sub-contractors).
* Work closely with sub-contractors on specific projects, to assist with pre-production, assembly, trials, and testing of product.
* Follow up on day-to-day inquiries and work with other team members within the wider engineering department.
Key skills / Experience required:
* A minimum of 3 years’ experience as a Design Engineer or Senior Draughtsperson.
* A degree/HND/HNC in Mechanical Engineering, supported by relevant working experience.
* AutoCAD and Solidworks software experience is essential for this role, and will be assessed during the interview process.
* A strong team player, with a genuine interest in working on a variety of projects, as well as supporting customers with inquiries from initial concept through to completion to agreed objectives.
* An effective multitasker, with experience of working on multiple projects or inquiries simultaneously.
* Resilience, and the ability to work well under pressure, is essential for this role, given that you will have to work to deadlines, often across multiple projects at any one time.
* Excellent communication skills, with the ability to easily convey ideas to clients, senior management, and colleagues alike.
* Previous 3D structural stress analysis/finite element analysis (FEA) experience would be ideal, although training will be provided.
Our client is offering a competitive salary, free parking on site, and other benefits including life cover and wellbeing benefits, competitive holiday package, and team social events.
This is a full-time, permanent position based in Poole.
