Job description

Mechanical Design Engineer (Product Development)

Location: Cannock

Job Type: Permanent, Full Time

Are you a Mechanical Design Engineer who enjoys designing products where precision, movement and functionality really matter?

I'm working with an established manufacturing business looking for an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer with a background in designing and developing mechanical products, rather than large–scale machinery or fabricated structures.

This opportunity would particularly suit someone who has worked on products incorporating smaller, intricate moving parts, precision mechanisms and functional assemblies, taking designs from initial concept through to manufacture.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Designing and developing mechanical products incorporating smaller moving components, precision mechanisms and functional assemblies
• Taking designs from initial concept through prototyping and into production
• Producing detailed 3D models, engineering drawings and technical documentation
• Considering materials, tolerances and design for manufacture and assembly
• Reviewing and improving existing products to enhance functionality and reliability
• Resolving technical design challenges and working closely with colleagues throughout the development process

What I'm looking for:

• Proven experience in mechanical product design and development
• Experience designing smaller mechanical components, moving mechanisms or interacting assemblies
• Strong 3D CAD skills, ideally SolidWorks
• Experience taking designs from concept through to manufacture
• Good understanding of mechanical principles, tolerances and manufacturing processes
• Ability to work independently, take ownership of projects and solve technical problems

This is a great opportunity to work on technically interesting products, take ownership of your designs and see your work progress into manufacture.
