Senior Mechanical Design Engineer Are you an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer looking to take ownership of complex, high-precision products from concept through to manufacture? This is an exciting opportunity to join a leading engineering and manufacturing business working on innovative electromechanical systems used globally. About the Role You’ll play a key role in designing and developing advanced mechanical assemblies involving movement, motors, sensors, mechanisms, enclosures, precision components, heating and cooling systems, and other complex subsystems. This is a hands-on, full-lifecycle design role where you will work closely with production, electronics, testing and manufacturing teams to deliver robust, manufacturable, and high-quality products. Key Responsibilities of the Mechanical Design Engineer: • Lead mechanical design activities across the full product life-cycle — from concept generation and feasibility through to detailed design, prototyping, testing, and production release., • Design complex precision mechanisms, electromechanical assemblies, drive systems, and sensor-integrated components., • Develop cases, housings, frames, and thermal management solutions for reliability and performance., • Apply Design for Manufacture (DfM) and Design for Assembly (DfA) to optimise production efficiency., • Support build, test, validation, and production troubleshooting, ensuring products meet quality and regulatory standards., • Create detailed CAD models, engineering drawings, BOMs, and documentation for prototypes and production., • Collaborate cross-functionally with electronics, software, quality, and operations teams. About You as a Mechanical Design Engineer: • Strong mechanical design experience within an engineered product environment (e.g. electromechanical, automation, robotics, instrumentation, or similar)., • Proven background designing systems incorporating motors, actuators, sensors, mechanisms, and thermal management., • Confident working with precision components, tight tolerances, and complex assemblies., • Strong 3D CAD skills (any major platform)., • Excellent problem-solving skills, creativity, and engineering rigour., • Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with responsibility for taking products from concept to manufacture. Why Apply? • Work on technically challenging, meaningful engineering projects., • Join a collaborative, forward-thinking team where your ideas matter., • Genuine opportunities for progression and ongoing professional development. If you’re a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer who thrives on solving complex mechanical challenges and driving product innovation, we’d love to hear from you.
