Required Skills (Technical Competency):

• Proficient in 3D CAD package for both modelling and drawing, ideally Solid Edge.
• Ability to interpret and create high quality engineering CAD models and manufacturing drawings, including GD&T.
• Experience in designing mechanical components, parts, assemblies and subassemblies for heavy industry, power transmission systems, gears and gearboxes.
• Knowledge about subsystems that impact the mechanical design/layout of the design.
• Candidate should be familiar with structural design practices and methodologies, including significant structural redesigns.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a related field.
• Previous experience in a similar role within the Aerospace and Defense industry.
• Experience in heavy engineering industry, power transmission systems, gears and gearboxes.
• Strong knowledge of quality management systems and industry standards (e.g., AS9100, ISO 9001).
• Proficient in root cause analysis and failure mode analysis techniques.
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
