Job Description & How to Apply Below
Our client is looking for a hands-on engineer who values being close to the material, the supplier, and the manufacturing process.
The Role
You won't just be sitting behind a screen; you will take full ownership of project phases-from initial brief to final delivery-using a structured Discover, Define, Develop, Deliver & Evolve methodology.
Engineering & CAD:
Produce high-level 3D CAD and 2D drawings (Onshape, CATIA, Solid Works, or Inventor).
Analysis:
Perform structural, thermal, and CFD analysis using Sim Scale and ANSYS.
Supplier Engagement:
Writing technically complete RFQs, manage the quoting process, and hold deep technical consultations with suppliers regarding tolerances and DFM/DFA.
Design Reviews:
Proactively challenge assumptions and contribute original engineering observations.
Candidate Requirements
Must-Haves:
Technical Autonomy:
Proven ability to solve open-ended engineering problems independently.
CAD Mastery:
Expert-level competency in professional 3D/2D CAD packages.
Supplier Fluency:
Confidence in managing the full procurement lifecycle and translating technical requirements to manufacturers.
Process Discipline: A commitment to traceable documentation and sound engineering judgment.
Nice-to-Haves:
Experience in investment casting, precision machining, or fabrication.
Familiarity with GD&T, tolerance stack analysis, or BS8888.
Previous experience in a consultancy or a fast-paced small-team environment.
Why Join?
This is a role for an engineer who "gets things done." You will work in an environment that skips the red tape and focuses on "serious engineering," offering you the chance to fix real-world problems alongside a team of like-minded experts.
If you possess the above skills and are interested in the opportunity, please apply and we will be in touch
