The Role:

We are looking for a talented Senior Mechanical Designer to join an innovative R&D team and contribute to developing state-of-the-art automated machinery and systems.

• Actively support machine setup, test runs, and final equipment buy-offs.

• Generate comprehensive problem-finding reports and troubleshoot issues by working directly with external vendors and end-customers.

• Support the application, evaluation, testing, and continuous maintenance of the company's product line.

• Act as a technical gatekeeper by reviewing work submitted through SolidWorks to ensure internal procedures are followed.

• Prepare mechanical drawings and review them closely with the wider engineering team.

• Generate detailed B.O.M lists adhering to company formatting and standards.

What You Need to Succeed:

• Education: A Diploma or Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or a closely related discipline.

• Experience: At least 5 years of relevant experience in machine design or automation. Previous team management experience is highly advantageous.

• Technical Skills:

  • Familiarity with SolidWorks and MS Office (experience with Vectorworks is a plus).

  • Demonstrated ability to produce 2D Assembly cross-section drawings and Module BOM lists.

  • Strong capability in creating 2D Part Drawings with accurate tolerance indications.

• Soft Skills:

  • Strong critical thinking: The ability to define problems, collect data, establish facts, and draw valid conclusions.

  • Highly organized and disciplined with a proven track record of hitting project timelines.

  • A positive attitude coupled with a strong willingness to learn.

• Mobility: Must be open to business traveling.
