Product Development Engineer - DFM We're working with a leading design-led brand in the luxury interiors sector to find a Product Development Engineer for their R&D team. A British business founded in the late 1990s, they now sell in over 90 countries with subsidiaries in the US and Asia. Everything they make is designed in house and manufactured through a global supply chain, and this is the role that takes a product from approved concept to something that can actually be built. The Role Reporting to the Internal Product Development Leader, you'll own the engineering of your own products from concept handover through to Tool Proof Sample approval, working to IEC and UL standards for the UK, EU, MEA, APAC and North American markets. In practice that covers prototyping and 3D printed models, engineering drawings and specifications for quotation and manufacture, in-house testing, liaison with external test labs for certification, and sample evaluation reports back to the factories. You'll also own the NPI timeline for your products, calling the concept handover, engineering and compliance reviews, and flagging anything that threatens the seasonal launch dates. You'll work closely with suppliers, the packaging, quality and technical teams, and the supplier liaison managers in the China office. There's scope to visit manufacturers overseas as part of the role. This is design for manufacture rather than concept design. The creative thinking goes into solving how something gets made to a very high standard, at the right cost, within a launch deadline. If you want to be the person sketching the product in the first place, this isn't that job. Compliance is also a real part of the week, not a footnote. IEC, UL and the various market directives sit behind every decision you make, so you need to be comfortable working within them rather than seeing them as an obstacle. What We're Looking For Two years or more as a product design or development engineer in a DFM environment SolidWorks Experience designing for specific processes such as extrusion, die casting, injection moulding, pressing, deep draw pressing, fabrication, blown glass or pressed glass An understanding of product testing and why it matters Creative engineering flair and a genuine interest in how things are made Comfortable in a team, able to give and take constructive feedback A professional approach to deadlinesAlso useful, though not essential: Experience in lighting, or knowledge of the relevant standards BIM file creation, photometric data or Change Order processesWhy This One Full ownership of your own products from concept through to production-ready Real variety of materials and processes across a premium product range Direct contact with manufacturers, including overseas travel A design-led business where quality is taken seriously at every level Full-time, UK-based, competitive salary and benefitsDue to the location of the offices, this position will suit those commuting from areas such as Bishops Stortford, Harlow, Cambridge, St Albans, Chelmsford, Cheshunt, Hertford, Enfield, London, Brentwood, Basildon, Colchester, Braintree and Welwyn Garden City. Zero Surplus is one of the UK's premier recruitment agencies, based just outside Cambridge. Our recruiters source staff for small and international businesses across the South of England.

Do you take genuine satisfaction in a set of instructions that just works - where someone opens the box, follows the diagrams, and never once has to reread a step? We're working with a leading design-led brand in the luxury interiors sector to find a Technical Illustrator to join their R&D team. Founded in the late 1990s and still driven by the same design philosophy, they've grown from a British start-up into a globally recognised name, with products now selling in over 90 countries and established subsidiaries in the US and Asia. It's a business built on craftsmanship, precision and the belief that good design demands simplicity, and that thinking extends all the way to the documentation that goes in the box. The Role You'll be responsible for creating clear, step-by-step diagrammatic installation instructions for new and existing products, taking a design from engineering data through to the finished guide a customer or installer uses. Alongside this, you'll generate product markings for compliance purposes. Most product imagery is generated in SolidWorks Composer and then brought together in Adobe InDesign and Illustrator, with some illustration created directly within the Adobe suite. You'll also work with a bespoke Product Lifecycle Management system. You'll report to the Technical Manager and work closely with product development engineers, but you'll manage your own workload against product launch deadlines, so this suits someone organised and self-directed who can keep multiple launches moving at once. What We're Looking For We're open on background here. You might come from a technical illustration or documentation role with extensive experience producing product instructions, or you might be a SolidWorks Composer specialist from another sector entirely. The product matters less than the craft. Either substantial experience designing step-by-step product installation instructions, or strong hands-on experience with SolidWorks Composer Confident with Adobe InDesign and Illustrator An eye for clarity and simplicity - able to reduce a complex assembly into something anyone can follow Comfortable working from engineering data and collaborating with development engineers Self-managing, with the discipline to hit launch deadlines without being chased Experience generating compliance markings is useful, though not essentialA genuine passion for this area of design goes a long way here. If you're someone who takes an interest in how things go together, whether that's DIY, assembly or self-build, and can bring that practical, user's-eye perspective into your work, you'll do well in this role. Why This One A specialist, craft-focused role within a premium, design-led brand with real heritage Direct involvement in product launches, working alongside R&D engineers from early in the process Genuine ownership of your workload and output A creative environment where quality and attention to detail are taken seriously at every levelDue to the location of the offices, this position will suit those commuting from areas such as Bishops Stortford, Harlow, Cambridge, St Albans, Chelmsford, Cheshunt, Hertford, Enfield, London, Brentwood, Basildon, Colchester, Braintree and Welwyn Garden City.

Technical Administrator We're working with a leading design-led brand in the luxury interiors sector to find a Technical Administrator for their R&D team. A British business founded in the late 1990s, they now sell in over 90 countries with subsidiaries in the US and Asia. Behind every product that ships is a technical file that has to be complete, current and correct. That's what you'd own. The Role Reporting to the Technical Manager, you'll build and maintain product technical files in line with UK, European and North American regulations, supporting development teams in the UK and China. You'll work day-to-day in a Product Lifecycle Management system alongside Excel, covering specification records, engineering data, costings and quotations. You'll also own the Product Release Order process that takes a new product through to production release. On top of that, you'll produce the weekly NPD report the Head of Product Development runs the meeting from, plus the monthly KPI report and carbon data. Being Straight With You This is an admin role, and it's meant to be. It isn't a route into engineering. But it's the role everything else leans on: if the data's wrong, products don't release and reports don't work. You'll also spend a fair bit of time chasing engineers. They're busy, and admin isn't always their first port of call, so you need to be confident enough to keep asking and persuasive enough to get what you need. What We're Looking For A couple of years in admin, ideally in a technical or engineering setting Intermediate Excel, including pivot tables and VLOOKUPs, and confident with exported data Very close attention to detail Confident and persuasive, comfortable chasing people Someone who enjoys owning the data and running a tight ship Proactive and positive, and genuinely happy doing admin ERP or PLM experience (SAP, NetSuite, Navision, Oracle) is an advantageWhy This One Real visibility. Your reports run the meetings, and your process releases the products Full ownership of product data across a global range A premium brand where detail is taken seriously at every level Full time, UK based, competitive salary and benefitsDue to the location of the offices, this position will suit those commuting from areas such as Bishops Stortford, Harlow, Cambridge, St Albans, Chelmsford, Cheshunt, Hertford, Enfield, London, Brentwood, Basildon, Colchester, Braintree and Welwyn Garden City.

Alongside this, you'll generate product markings for compliance purposes. Because these products ship to over 90 countries, the instructions have to work without language. The skill here is figuring out how to communicate a sequence - order, orientation, which way a part turns, what "done" looks like - purely through images.

What it is: a genuinely satisfying craft, where success is measured by someone opening a box and getting it right first time, without ever reaching for words. You do still need a good eye. Layout, hierarchy, consistency and clarity all matter enormously here - they're just in service of comprehension rather than aesthetics. What We're Looking For We're open on background. You could already be doing this exact job, or you could be coming from an adjacent role and looking for something different: Someone already producing sequential assembly or installation instructions A technical illustrator, CAD technician or artworker wanting a change of direction A product design graduate open to a different kind of design careerWhat matters most: The ability to communicate a physical process through images alone A strong eye for clarity, sequence and simplicity Confidence with Adobe InDesign and/or Solidworks (SolidWorks Composer experience is a real advantage, but we'll consider people keen to learn it) Comfortable working from engineering data and collaborating with development engineers Self-managing, with the discipline to hit launch deadlines without being chased Experience generating compliance markings is useful, though not essentialIf you're someone who takes an interest in how things go together - whether that's DIY, assembly or self-build - and can bring that practical, user's-eye perspective to your work, you'll do well here.

You'll report to the Technical Manager and work closely with product development engineers, but you'll manage your own workload against product launch deadlines - so this suits someone organised and self-directed who can keep multiple launches moving at once. Being Straight With You This isn't a fancy creative design role. If you're looking for brand work, campaigns or a portfolio full of visual showpieces, this won't be the one. What it is: a genuinely satisfying craft, where success is measured by someone opening a box and getting it right first time, without ever reaching for words. You do still need a good eye. Layout, hierarchy, consistency and clarity all matter enormously here - they're just in service of comprehension rather than aesthetics. What We're Looking For We're open on background. You could already be doing this exact job, or you could be coming from an adjacent role and looking for something different: Someone already producing sequential assembly or installation instructions A technical illustrator, CAD technician or artworker wanting a change of direction A product design graduate open to a different kind of design careerWhat matters most: The ability to communicate a physical process through images alone A strong eye for clarity, sequence and simplicity Confidence with Adobe InDesign and/or Solidworks (SolidWorks Composer experience is a real advantage, but we'll consider people keen to learn it) Comfortable working from engineering data and collaborating with development engineers Self-managing, with the discipline to hit launch deadlines without being chased Experience generating compliance markings is useful, though not essentialIf you're someone who takes an interest in how things go together - whether that's DIY, assembly or self-build - and can bring that practical, user's-eye perspective to your work, you'll do well here. Why This One A specialist, craft-focused role within a premium, design-led brand with real heritage Direct involvement in product launches, working alongside R&D engineers from early in the process Genuine ownership of your workload and output Room to grow into the role if you're coming from an adjacent discipline A creative environment where quality and attention to detail are taken seriously at every levelDue to the location of the offices, this position will suit those commuting from areas such as Bishops Stortford, Harlow, Cambridge, St Albans, Chelmsford, Cheshunt, Hertford, Enfield, London, Brentwood, Basildon, Colchester, Braintree and Welwyn Garden City.

Technical Administrator We're working with a leading design-led brand in the luxury interiors sector to find a Technical Administrator for their R&D team. A British business founded in the late 1990s, they now sell in over 90 countries with subsidiaries in the US and Asia. Behind every product that ships is a technical file that has to be complete, current and correct. That's what you'd own. The Role Reporting to the Technical Manager, you'll build and maintain product technical files in line with UK, European and North American regulations, supporting development teams in the UK and China. You'll work day-to-day in a Product Lifecycle Management system alongside Excel, covering specification records, engineering data, costings and quotations. You'll also own the Product Release Order process that takes a new product through to production release. On top of that, you'll produce the weekly NPD report the Head of Product Development runs the meeting from, plus the monthly KPI report and carbon data. Being Straight With You This is an admin role, and it's meant to be. It isn't a route into engineering. But it's the role everything else leans on: if the data's wrong, products don't release and reports don't work. You'll also spend a fair bit of time chasing engineers. They're busy, and admin isn't always their first port of call, so you need to be confident enough to keep asking and persuasive enough to get what you need. What We're Looking For A couple of years in admin, ideally in a technical or engineering setting Intermediate Excel, including pivot tables and VLOOKUPs, and confident with exported data Very close attention to detail Confident and persuasive, comfortable chasing people Someone who enjoys owning the data and running a tight ship Proactive and positive, and genuinely happy doing admin ERP or PLM experience (SAP, NetSuite, Navision, Oracle) is an advantageWhy This One Real visibility. Your reports run the meetings, and your process releases the products Full ownership of product data across a global range A premium brand where detail is taken seriously at every level Full time, UK based, competitive salary and benefitsDue to the location of the offices, this position will suit those commuting from areas such as Bishops Stortford, Harlow, Cambridge, St Albans, Chelmsford, Cheshunt, Hertford, Enfield, London, Brentwood, Basildon, Colchester, Braintree and Welwyn Garden City.
