• Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical or Mechatronics)
• 2 to 5 years' post-graduate experience in a mechanical design or design engineering role
• Proficiency in well-structured, complex 3D CAD modelling in Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks or similar, plus AutoCAD
• A solid understanding of manufacturing methods (fabrication, machining, sheet metal) and design for manufacture
• Working knowledge of AS 1100 drawing standards and GD&T
• A strong ability to write technical documents and specifications for mechanical components, assemblies and systems, and communicate them clearly
• Australian citizenship and eligibility for Baseline security clearance

Highly advantageous skills

• Experience on defence, food-grade or medical device projects
• FEA or other engineering analysis tools
• Configurations or Model States in CAD
• Electrical routing in CAD
• PDM or PLM systems
• Other CAD software such as MicroStation, ShipConstructor or NX
• Cloud tools such as OneDrive, and project management tools such as Planner or Trello
• A current Australian Government security clearance

Personal attributes
