Job description

At Winbro, we are at the heart of the green hydrogen revolution enabling production of next generation fuel cells with our ultra fast laser drilling and welding technologies. Our technology is capable of producing highly complex micro parts to micron level accuracies, creating a revolution in personalised drug delivery and medical care. Our equipment can produce highly complex semiconductor parts, enabling next level efficiencies in electronics manufacturing.

We are looking for an experienced and fully qualified NX Design Engineer to join our engineering team on a short-term contract for a specific design project. The successful candidate will be an accomplished mechanical designer with strong practical engineering knowledge and extensive experience using Siemens NX. They will be expected to quickly understand the requirements of the project, work independently and produce high-quality 3D models, assemblies and engineering drawings to meet agreed project timescales. Experience working within Microsoft Dynamics 365 (D365) is also required, as the successful candidate will need to work within our existing engineering and business processes, including the creation and management of engineering data.

This is a hands-on design role suited to an experienced designer who can make an immediate contribution and deliver against clearly defined project objectives.

Key responsibilities:

• Produce detailed 3D mechanical designs using Siemens NX
• Create and modify complex parts, assemblies and machine components
• Produce accurate and fully detailed engineering drawings suitable for manufacture
• Interpret engineering requirements, specifications and existing designs
• Develop design solutions that consider manufacturability, assembly, functionality
• Work from existing designs and documentation and make modifications where required
• Ensure designs comply with relevant engineering standards and company design practices
• Manage design revisions and maintain accurate engineering documentation
• Work closely with manufacturing, applications, and other engineering disciplines where required
• Liaise with engineers and project personnel to resolve design issues quickly
• Identify potential design or manufacturing issues and propose practical solutions
• Manage own workload to ensure project milestones and deadlines are achieved
• Work within D365 to create, manage and maintain relevant engineering information
• Ensure engineering data is correctly structured and maintained within the company's systems
• Support design reviews and provide technical input where required
• Deliver a high standard of work with minimal supervision

Requirements

• Qualified Mechanical Design Engineer or equivalent engineering qualification
• Extensive professional experience using Siemens NX
• Strong 3D CAD modelling and assembly design skills
• Proven experience producing detailed manufacturing and engineering drawings
• Good understanding of Design for Manufacture (DFM) and practical manufacturing processes
• Experience designing machinery, equipment or complex mechanical assemblies
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, specifications and technical requirements
• Experience managing revisions and engineering design changes
• Experience working within structured engineering processes
• Experience using Microsoft Dynamics 365 (D365) in an engineering/manufacturing environment

Benefits

As this is a short term contract, we are offering an excellent pro rata salary for someone with the relevant skills, for an immediate start.
