Descripción de la vacante

Search Beyond Limited is seeking a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to lead improvements to specialist engineered building products. The role is hands-on with ownership from root cause to production release, mentoring other engineers and contract designers.

You’ll own engineering changes, investigate NCRs, and produce 3D models, drawings and BOMs in SolidWorks and PDM while managing risk through DFMEA and design reviews.

Formación

• A degree in Mechanical or Product Design Engineering (or an HNC/HND with equivalent experience).
• 7+ years in design or product engineering within manufacturing, including changes to products already in production.
• Advanced SolidWorks (parts, assemblies, sheet metal, production drawings) and daily use of PDM.
• Working knowledge of GD&T, tolerance analysis, DFMEA and structured root cause tools such as 8D.
• A good understanding of aluminium extrusion, sheet metal, machining, casting and injection moulding.
• Clear written communication and the discipline to make sure the records match what's built.
• Experience with certified or fire-rated products, test standards and third-party approvals would be a big plus.

Responsabilidades

• Owning a caseload of engineering changes from request through to release.
• Investigating field failures, customer concerns and NCRs to their root cause, then designing permanent fixes.
• Producing and checking 3D models, drawings and BOMs in SolidWorks and SolidWorks PDM, and releasing through ECNs.
• Using DFMEA, tolerance analysis and design reviews to manage risk on safety-critical changes.
• Planning prototype builds and running cycle and durability testing on in-house rigs.
• Preparing drawings and specimens for fire and smoke testing at accredited labs, and attending tests where needed.
• Working with suppliers on samples, tooling and first article inspection across extrusions, sheet metal, machined and moulded parts.
• Checking and mentoring the work of other engineers and helping improve drawing standards and processes.
