Mechanical Design Engineer

Mechanical Design Engineer

Burton-on-Trent (£42,000 – £48,000 DOE)

Are you a Mechanical Design Engineer with strong SolidWorks and sheet metal design experience?

We are supporting an established engineering and manufacturing business in Burton-on-Trent that is looking to strengthen its engineering team with an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer.

This is a hands-on design role where you will be responsible for developing mechanical designs for fabricated equipment, enclosures, frames and associated assemblies, taking projects from initial concept through to manufacture.

The Role

• Produce detailed 3D CAD models, assemblies and 2D manufacturing drawings using SolidWorks.
• Design sheet metal components, fabricated assemblies, frames, enclosures and structural components.
• Produce designs with consideration for manufacturability, assembly, performance and cost.
• Work with weldments, fabricated components and a range of materials including steel and aluminium.
• Carry out basic engineering calculations relating to areas such as structural loading, airflow and component sizing.
• Produce and maintain Bills of Materials (BoMs) and engineering documentation.
• Work closely with Electrical Engineering and Production teams to ensure effective integration of components and assemblies.
• Support prototype builds, testing and design validation.
• Assist Production with technical and manufacturing queries.
• Identify opportunities to improve existing designs, reduce costs and improve manufacturability.
• Maintain accurate engineering documentation and design files within PDM systems.

The Mechanical Design Engineer:

• Strong SolidWorks experience – essential.
• Experience designing sheet metal components and fabricated assemblies – essential.
• Good understanding of weldments and fabrication/manufacturing processes.
• Experience producing detailed manufacturing drawings.
• An understanding of materials such as steel and aluminium.
• Experience within an industrial, manufacturing, machinery, equipment or enclosure design environment.
• Degree, HNC/HND or equivalent qualification in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
• Ideally 3+ years’ mechanical design experience.

This would suit a Mechanical Design Engineer who enjoys being close to the manufacturing process and seeing their designs progress from concept through to physical production
