Job Description
Senior Mechanical Design Engineer
Help Shape the Future of Precision Engineering
We’re working with an established and forward-thinking engineering business that specialises in the design and manufacture of safety-critical components for high-performance environments. Known for their commitment to innovation, quality, and continuous improvement, they are part of a larger technology group and have seen consistent growth and investment in recent years.
As part of their continued expansion, they are seeking a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to join their R&D and product development function. This role offers the chance to work on technically challenging projects with tangible real-world impact, within a collaborative and fast-paced engineering team.
The Opportunity
This is a hands-on design role, ideal for an experienced mechanical engineer who enjoys full lifecycle development — from early concept and design validation through to manufacturing and testing.
You’ll be involved in developing precision-engineered components and assemblies for highly regulated sectors, using modern tools, materials, and simulation techniques to bring next-generation products to life.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead mechanical design of assemblies and systems from concept to production
* Create CAD models, technical drawings, and documentation
* Perform engineering analysis (FEA, stress, thermal, tolerance) to validate designs
* Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams across design, manufacturing, and compliance
* Apply DFM/DFA principles to ensure production readiness
* Ensure all work complies with relevant industry regulations and internal quality standards
* Support prototyping, design iteration, and problem-solving during testing phases
* Stay up to date with new materials, techniques, and technologies
What You’ll Bring
* Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field
* 7+ years of experience in mechanical product design
* Strong CAD skills (e.g., SolidWorks or equivalent)
* Good understanding of manufacturing methods and materials
* Experience in regulated industries (e.g., aerospace, automotive, medical devices, etc.) preferred
* Proven ability to manage technical challenges and deliver robust, efficient solutions
* Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach to problem solving
Why This Role?
This is a great opportunity for a driven engineer looking to make a meaningful impact in a business that values both technical excellence and work-life balance. You’ll be working in a collaborative environment where ideas are encouraged, and your contributions can shape future product lines.
