We’re looking for:

• Excellent CAD design skills using SolidWorks.
• Experience in complex mechanical design systems.
• At least 3 years of industry experience.
• Familiarity with PDM/PLM systems.

In return, you’ll join a well-funded start-up offering a competitive package, equity options, and genuine opportunities for progression as the company scales. Most importantly, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing your work makes a real-world impact.
