Mechanical Design Engineer

Mechanical Design Engineer

We are working with an industry-leading engineering firm at the cutting edge of avionics and marine systems, supporting their search for a Mechanical Design Engineer to join their dynamic, fast-paced design team.

Whether you're a recent graduate or bring industry experience, this is a fantastic opportunity to work on technically complex, highly regulated projects in one of the UK's most innovative engineering environments. You’ll be designing robust mechanical solutions to house sophisticated electronics – collaborating closely with electronics and PCB engineers – and taking ownership of your designs from concept to production.

If you're looking for a varied, hands-on role in a forward-thinking company where no two days are the same, this could be the ideal next step.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop mechanical parts and assemblies using SolidWorks
  
  
• Create detailed production drawings and technical documentation
  
  
• Collaborate with electronics/PCB designers to meet space and performance constraints
  
  
• Conduct thermal and mechanical simulations
  
  
• Support initial production builds and troubleshooting
  
  
• Participate in design verification, qualification, and peer reviews
  
  
• Work cross-functionally with production, quality, and project teams
  
  
• Deliver projects within agreed timeframes and budgets
  
  
• Maintain accurate technical records and reports
  
  Requirements:
  
  
• Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
  
  
• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal
  
  
• Proficiency in 3D CAD – ideally SolidWorks
  
  
• Experience across the full product design lifecycle
  
  
• Strong team player with a self-starter mentality
  
  
• Practical problem-solving mindset and willingness to learn
  
  
• Organised, methodical, and capable of managing personal workload
  
  Desirable:
  
  
• Prior experience in a high-reliability or regulated environment (e.g., aerospace, defence, marine)
  
  
• Familiarity with design for manufacture and assembly (DFMA)
  
  
• Exposure to simulation tools for thermal or mechanical analysis
