Job Description
DESIGN ENGINEER / TECHNICAL PROJECT LEAD
Exeter | £40,000 - £60,000 DOE | Permanent
We're working with a fast-growing advanced manufacturing business in Exeter that develops robotic large-format 3D printing systems for defence, aerospace, and marine sectors.
They're looking for a Design Engineer / Technical Project Lead to own technical project delivery end-to-end — from developing customer designs through to finished product — acting as the technical authority on every project you touch.
The role involves:
* Taking customer designs from concept through to delivery, advising on manufacturability, material selection, and build orientation
* Applying mould tooling principles to optimise designs for downstream processes
* Leading a small technician team on day-to-day production
* Acting as the primary technical contact for customers throughout project delivery
* Supporting sales with feasibility assessments and accurate quoting
* Reporting directly to the CTO with genuine autonomy
The ideal candidate will have:
* A background in mould tool design, pattern making, or tooling applications
* Strong CAD skills — Fusion 360 or equivalent
* Proven experience managing projects and delivering to deadlines
* Confidence working directly with customers in a technical capacity
* Composites, CNC/CAM, or additive manufacturing experience is a bonus
This is a brilliant opportunity for a tooling or manufacturing engineer who wants to step into a senior, customer-facing role at a genuinely innovative company doing work very few businesses in the UK are doing.
