Job Description - Contract Mechanical Design Engineer

Contract Mechanical Design Engineer                                                  IR35 Status: Out

Hourly – Circa £45 DOE 
Contract Term – 6 months
Location – Hybrid in Devon

Join a specialist acoustic engineering company that designs and manufactures active vibration control systems for floors. Utilising advanced sensor and actuator technology, their smart resonance -cancelling solutions dramatically reduce structural movement, optimising dynamic performance for high -tech, medical, and commercial buildings.

We’re looking for an experienced Contract Mechanical Design Engineer to lead the end -to -end mechanical design of their next -generation product variant. You will report directly to the CTO and take total ownership of the design cycle, from concept and detailed design through to prototyping, validation, and manufacturing handover.

Responsibilities, but are not limited to
  • Lead the concept generation, detailed CAD layout, and geometric rearrangement for the new product variant
  • Build, test, measure, and iterate physical prototypes; this is a highly practical role
  • Articulate the design process beyond CAD drawings. Produce rigorous summary reports, structural justifications, and documentation to support regulatory compliance
  • Work closely with and guide a graduate mechanical engineer who is already in post, providing design support
  • Partner with the internal electronics engineer and general Research & Development Engineers under the direction of the CTO
Experience required
  • Experience taking complex electromechanical products from concept through to manufacturing
  • Expert -level SolidWorks and SolidWorks Simulation skills, with demonstrable experience in FEA for structural, modal, and fatigue analysis
  • A natural problem -solver who is comfortable stepping away from the screen to get hands -on with physical prototyping assemblies and testing
  • Comfort with an ad -hoc, flexible working arrangement to accommodate the natural peaks and troughs of R&D workflows (e.g., waiting for manufactured parts)
  • The contractor to provide their own CAD laptop and SolidWorks with Simulation capabilities (though provisions can be negotiated if required)
Circa 22.5 hours | 1 hour lunch | Monday to Friday | Corer Operating Hours 9am to 5:30pm
