Own mechanical product development across the full lifecycle, from early R&D through to design validation and release, in a fast-moving industrial setting.
Create DFM-ready drawings and the documentation that makes manufacturing smoother and change control clearer.
Manage BOMs and help lead ECR processes, ensuring engineering changes are tracked accurately and implemented effectively.
Collaborate closely with electronics and software teams, bringing enough technical literacy to remove bottlenecks rather than create them.
Deliver design outputs that meet challenging constraints such as corrosion resistance, extreme temperatures, confined access, and high-consequence failure modes.
Support handovers to manufacturing by keeping drawings and configurations consistent and reliable.
The Product Design Engineer - Mechanical will bring:

At least 2+ years in a mechanical engineering role, with demonstrable robotics or field-hardware design experience (portfolio required).
SolidWorks proficiency and confidence producing clear, build-ready documentation.
Strong DFM discipline, with a practical approach to design for manufacture and assembly.
Hands-on experience owning BOM/CBOM management and leading ECR processes.
Enough electronics and software literacy to collaborate confidently across teams.
This Product Design Engineer - Mechanical  role sits within the industrial hardware and engineering environment, supporting products that must perform reliably in confined spaces and demanding field conditions.
