Your Challenge:

• Takes ownership and responsibility for delivering all associated aspects of the project to agreed timescales.
• The production and interpretation of engineering drawings and specifications in accordance with the appropriate national and international standards.
• Project Management - Delivering all aspects of the project to agreed timescales.
• Identification of project risk and implementation of mitigation or contingency activity as appropriate.
• Interfacing with customers, internal and external. As the product expert, you will be expected to provide technical support and guidance where required.
• Demonstrate suitability of proposed design solutions through the use of appropriate engineering tools and practices e.g. Tolerance analysis, stress analysis, DFMEA, PFMEA, reliability analysis, design for manufacture etc.
• Define and conduct product testing as appropriate. This will include mechanical (endurance, shock, vibration etc.) and environmental (temperature, humidity, chemical etc.).
• Creation and maintenance of the project design dossier.

Your Expertise:

• BEng or BSc in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent would be ideal. Candidates with HND or HNC with experience of electro-mechanical design are invited to apply for the position.
