Job summary

Stax Talent is partnering with a well-funded deep tech company to hire a CAD and design engineer in the energy sector. The role covers data ownership from concept sketches through to delivered parts, with broad hands-on responsibilities and influence over design engineering data management.

You’ll design parts in CAD, run simulations, select materials, and ensure proper BOM and revision control while supporting lab testing and iterations. English communication is essential.

Qualifications

• A degree in mechanical engineering or a related field, a Techniker qualification with design experience, or equivalent experience.
• Strong skills in a 3D CAD system such as SolidWorks, Siemens NX, CATIA or similar.
• The ability to carry out engineering calculations for form, fit and function.
• A thorough understanding of tolerancing for real manufactured hardware.
• A track record of designing parts and assemblies that were actually built, with toleranced drawings to standard.
• Confidence making and documenting decisions with incomplete information, in clear written and spoken English.

Responsibilities

• Designing complete parts and assemblies in CAD, from concept to manufacturing drawings.
• Running design simulations in ANSYS, COMSOL or similar.
• Driving designs independently: solving problems and selecting materials and standard components.
• Helping the team specify and order parts.
• Keeping CAD data, bills of materials and revisions organised.
• Supporting assembly and testing in the lab, and updating designs based on what you learn.

Job description

Stax Talent is working with a well-funded deep tech company in the energy sector to hire a CAD and design engineer.

The opportunity

Our client is developing large-scale superconducting magnet systems for a next-generation energy application. They design and build hardware at every scale, from prototype test rigs to magnet assemblies and larger systems.

Behind each of those is a set of design data: models, drawings, calculations, simulations, tolerances and material choices. You’ll own that data from the first concept sketch through to the delivered part. This is a broad, hands-on role with real influence over how the company manages design engineering.

What you’ll be doing

• Designing complete parts and assemblies in CAD, from concept to manufacturing drawings.
• Running design simulations in ANSYS, COMSOL or similar.
• Driving designs independently: solving problems and selecting materials and standard components.
• Helping the team specify and order parts.
• Keeping CAD data, bills of materials and revisions organised.
• Supporting assembly and testing in the lab, and updating designs based on what you learn.

What we’re looking for

• A degree in mechanical engineering or a related field, a Techniker qualification with design experience, or equivalent experience.
• Strong skills in a 3D CAD system such as SolidWorks, Siemens NX, CATIA or similar.
• The ability to carry out engineering calculations for form, fit and function.
• A thorough understanding of tolerancing for real manufactured hardware.
• A track record of designing parts and assemblies that were actually built, with toleranced drawings to standard.
• Confidence making and documenting decisions with incomplete information, in clear written and spoken English.

Highly relevant experience

• Vacuum or cryogenic system and component design.
• FEA in COMSOL or another simulation tool.
• Magnets or other electromagnetic hardware.
• PDM or PLM systems.
• Ownership of the full design, build and measure cycle.

We welcome applications from both early-career and experienced engineers, including those coming from scientific instruments, aerospace, medical devices or general mechanical engineering.

What’s on offer

• The chance to shape design engineering practices and data management from the ground up.
• Varied, hands-on work on first-of-a-kind hardware.
• A competitive package, modern office and lab facilities, and some flexibility to work remotely.
