Mechanical Design Engineer

Description:

We’re supporting an established UK specialist vehicle manufacturer looking to add aMechanical Chassis Design Engineerto its eight-person Chassis Engineering team.

This is a hands-on engineering role with genuine ownership across the full product lifecycle, frominitial concepts and component design through to validation, production support and solving real-world field issues.

There’s also scope to develop beyond component-level design intowider vehicle systems and project engineering responsibilities.

We’d be particularly interested in speaking with engineers fromyellow goods, agricultural machinery, construction equipment, commercial vehicles, trailers, tankers, specialist vehicles, material handling or other heavy/mobile machinery environments.

What you’ll be doing:

Designing and detailing chassis systems, fabricated structures and mechanical components
Developing sheet-metal, welded and structural assemblies
Integrating hydraulic and pneumatic equipment into wider vehicle systems
Producing 3D CAD models, engineering drawings and accurate BOMs
Supporting DVP&R, design reviews, prototype builds and product validation
Applying engineering fundamentals around stress, strain, fatigue, materials, fasteners and tolerances
Designing with manufacture, assembly, cost, quality and serviceability in mind
Resolving manufacturing, build and field issues through root-cause analysis
Working closely with suppliers, manufacturing and cross-functional engineering teams

What we’re looking for:

Mechanical design experience within vehicles, yellow goods, heavy machinery, trailers, tankers or a similar engineered-product environment
Experience designingfabricated structures, sheet-metal components, brackets or structural assemblies
Good understanding ofDesign for Manufacture and Assembly
Ability to produce high-quality technical drawings and BOMs
HNC, HND, engineering apprenticeship, degree or equivalent practical engineering experience
Experience using a mainstream 3D CAD package,ideally Solid Edge

Solid Edge experience isn't essential. We're much more interested in your engineering background and what you've actually designed
