Job Description
Product Design Engineer – Chepstow Area
Haystack Selection is working with a forward-thinking engineering business that’s growing its design team. They are now seeking a Product Design Engineer to take on a varied, hands-on role where you’ll not only create designs but also see them come to life on the production floor. If you’re the type of engineer who enjoys being in the thick of it — handling products, solving real-world problems, and ensuring quality — this could be the opportunity for you.
The Role
This isn’t a position where you’ll just sit at a desk. As Product Design Engineer, you’ll be involved in every stage of the process — from concept and design through to manufacturing and validation. You’ll spend time in production, seeing how your designs are built, handling prototypes, and working with colleagues to resolve any issues or quality concerns. It’s an exciting role for someone who thrives on variety and enjoys taking ownership of the full design journey.
Responsibilities
* Develop innovative and reliable product designs that are cost-effective and compliant.
* Create bespoke solutions to meet specific customer requirements.
* Produce CAD models, technical drawings, and supporting documentation.
* Use calculations and FEA to validate structural performance.
* Work closely with production to see designs through to manufacture.
* Handle prototypes and address any quality or design issues during build.
* Manage bills of materials through the ERP system.
* Support testing, validation, and continuous improvements.
Candidate Profile
* Degree-qualified in Mechanical, Product, or related Engineering subject.
* 3+ years’ experience in a mechanical/product design role.
* Skilled in SolidWorks and confident with engineering analysis.
* A hands-on approach — keen to be on the shop floor, working with products directly.
* Excellent problem-solving ability and attention to detail.
* Strong organisational skills and commercial awareness.
* ERP system knowledge and experience with aluminium structures is an advantage.
Salary & Benefits
* Salary up to £40,000 DOE
* Annual bonus scheme (5% of salary)
* Site allowance: 17p per mile, calculated from home postcode to office, payable to all UK staff
* Pension contribution scheme
* 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
* Free parking and a modern workspace
This role may also be of interest to candidates with experience in: Mechanical Design Engineering, Product Development Engineering, CAD Engineering, Structural Design, R&D Engineering, Mechanical Systems Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Aluminium Fabrication, Custom Machinery Design, or Engineering Project Management
