Design Engineer x3

Are you a Mechanical Design Engineer with experience in 3D CAD,
mechanical design and product development?

Do you enjoy taking a product from initial customer requirements
through to detailed design, manufacture and installation?

We're supporting a leading aerospace manufacturing business in
Fareham who are looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer to join
their Engineering team.

This is a great opportunity for someone with a background in
mechanical engineering, fluid mechanics or pressure systems who
enjoys combining hands-on design work with technical
problem-solving and working closely with manufacturing teams.

What's the role all about?

As the Mechanical Design Engineer, you'll be responsible for
designing and developing engineered products from initial
customer specifications through to manufacture and installation.

You'll use 3D CAD software to produce detailed models and
manufacturing drawings, carry out engineering calculations and
ensure designs meet the required performance and quality
standards.

Working closely with Sales, Manufacturing, Quality and
Purchasing, you'll play an important role in making sure products
are designed correctly, are practical to manufacture and meet
customer requirements.

This is a varied position where you'll have the opportunity to
get involved in the full design process rather than simply
producing drawings.

What will you be doing?

* Design and develop mechanical products from initial customer
specifications through to manufacture
* Produce detailed 3D CAD models, engineering drawings and
technical specifications

* Analyse customer requirements and develop practical engineering
solutions
* Carry out detailed design calculations to ensure product
integrity and performance
* Apply Right First Time Design principles throughout the
engineering process
* Conduct and participate in technical design reviews
* Ensure Design for Manufacture (DFM) principles are considered
throughout product development
* Identify opportunities for Value Engineering and design
improvements
* Produce technical reports and supporting engineering
documentation
* Provide technical support to internal Sales teams and external
customers
* Work closely with Manufacturing and Quality to resolve
technical design queries
* Liaise with Purchasing, Planning and subcontractors throughout
the project lifecycle
* Ensure designs meet customer specifications and required
engineering standards
* Support products through manufacture and installation
What do you need?

We're looking for someone with:

* Degree or HNC in Mechanical Engineering
* A minimum of 2 years' relevant Mechanical Engineering
experience

* Previous experience within a Mechanical Design Engineer or
similar design-focused position

* Strong experience using 3D CAD software

* Knowledge of fluid mechanics and pressure systems

* Ability to produce detailed engineering drawings and 3D models
* Good understanding of mechanical engineering calculations
* Strong technical problem-solving skills
* Ability to interpret customer specifications and translate them
into engineering designs
* Good communication skills and the ability to work across
multiple departments
Experience using Autodesk Inventor would be particularly
beneficial.

Desirable

It would also be beneficial if you have:

* Previous experience within aerospace or precision engineering

* Experience designing products involving fluid flow or pressure
systems
* Knowledge of Design for Manufacture and Value Engineering

* Experience using MathCAD or TK Solver

* Familiarity with Microsoft Project
* Experience supporting products from concept through to
manufacture
* Previous experience working directly with customers on
technical requirements
About you

You'll be someone who enjoys the technical side of engineering
and takes pride in producing accurate, practical designs.

You'll be:

* Analytical and technically minded
* Detail-focused
* A confident problem solver
* Organised and methodical
* Comfortable working independently
* Collaborative when working with other departments
* Proactive in identifying design improvements
* Keen to develop your engineering knowledge
Most importantly, you'll understand that good engineering design
isn't just about producing a drawing – it's about creating a
product that meets customer requirements, performs as expected
and can be manufactured efficiently.

Why join?

This is an opportunity to join an established aerospace
manufacturing business where you'll be involved in the complete
product design process.

You'll work alongside experienced engineers and collaborate with
teams across Manufacturing, Quality, Sales and Purchasing, giving
you exposure to both the technical and commercial aspects of
engineering.

With a focus on Right First Time Design, you'll have the
opportunity to develop your skills while contributing to
technically challenging engineering projects.
