This is a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer position for an experienced engineer who is comfortable taking ownership of customer led projects and seeing designs through from concept to manufacture.

The role combines detailed mechanical design with project level responsibility. Some projects involve adapting and refining established designs to meet new customer requirements; others require solutions developed from first principles. You will interpret specifications, ensure designs are practical and manufacturable, and manage expectations with customers throughout the project lifecycle.

It requires solid engineering fundamentals, sound judgement and the confidence to make considered technical decisions.
