We're currently looking for an experienced Design Engineer to join a fast-paced engineering team in Peterborough, working on the development of electrified machines and prototype products.

This is a hands-on role where you'll be involved throughout the design process, from early concept and detailed design through to integration, prototype build and validation.

The Role

You’ll work across both mechanical and electrical design, helping develop practical engineering solutions for machine and vehicle applications. You’ll work closely with project, build and validation teams and have the opportunity to see your designs progress from concept through to working hardware.

What we're looking for

• Experience in both mechanical and electrical design
• Experience within a product development environment
• Experience taking designs from concept through to detailed design and integration
• Experience with engineering drawings and design documentation
• Background in automotive, off-highway, heavy-duty equipment, industrial machinery or similar
• Experience working on prototype, demonstrator or pre-production products
• Creo experience is highly desirable, although other CAD experience will be considered
• A practical, hands-on approach to engineering and problem solving
• Good communication skills and the ability to work within multidisciplinary teams

The Opportunity

This is a great opportunity to work on advanced electrification projects within a collaborative, fast-moving engineering environment.

You’ll have the opportunity to take ownership of your work and see projects progress from initial concept through to physical machine build and validation.
