Mechanical Design Engineer
Location: Hastings
Job Type: Full Time, Permanent
Our client is looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer required to work in the High Vacuum & Semi Conductor industry, designing high temperature heaters and manipulation stages that operate in Physical Vapour Deposition Systems. This job involves not only design but also includes project management, building, testing, and on-site installation (mainly in Europe, but also North America and Asia).
Qualifications:
The candidate should ideally have a degree or a minimum qualification at HNC level in Engineering with experience in engineering design using solid modelling software (SolidWorks), preferably in the High Vacuum Industry or Precision Engineering. They operate in a very niche area, and so training will be given, but experience of working within the vacuum industry would be a great advantage.
Ideal Candidate:
The ideal candidate will:
1. Have a creative problem-solving mind
2. Work hard
3. Work well under pressure
4. Prioritize and manage a project from design to installation
5. Work well independently and as part of a team
6. Keep a positive attitude
The candidate would be experienced in design using solid modelling software and have good engineering hand skills, able to assemble, test, fault find, develop, and modify their designs to attain the required operating performance. They will have new skills, ideas, and knowledge that they can bring in to complement our existing team of engineers and improve and grow our product range.
Responsibilities:
They would need to have a professional friendly approach, handle pressure, and maintain a positive demeanor. They would be able to prioritize and manage multiple projects simultaneously, be a forward thinker, and always look for ways to improve products and operations. They would also need a driving licence and be willing to travel to customers across Europe and occasionally to North America and Asia for installations.
Our client's company was established in 2003 and has grown into a world leader in vacuum sample heating and laboratory furnaces, heating up to 3000C, and exporting over 80% of our products. We are a rapidly growing forward-thinking company, with an incredible future ahead. We work in a very relaxed but professional environment, with every employee knowing where the company is and where we are going. All employees share in bonuses, as our employees are the most important and valued part of our company. We are now looking for another member to join our happy team.
