Your key responsibilities will be:

• Develop design solutions from initial brief by creating layouts with verification by calculations including FEA techniques were appropriate.
• Production of manufacturing drawings, including assemblies and specifications of the final design.
• To control product realisation, including manufacturing aspects to achieve the most effective design.
• To control and define product build definition to ensure that the component database remains precise.
• To control engineering change and authorise concession of nonconforming product.
• To provide technical engineering support to other areas of the business.
• To manage in service product safety incidents including risk analysis and production of closing reports.
