The following tasks and activities form the primary duties of the role:

• Creating concept designs from customer requirements.
  
• Design products where components use manufacturing techniques, such as:
  

o Plastic injection moulding

o CNC machining (plastics and metals)

o Sheetmetal

o Vacuum Forming

o Extrusions (aluminium and plastics)

• Build Prototypes and evaluate.
  
• Liaise with suppliers about optimising design for manufacture and create product costings and B.O.M.s
