Key responsibilities include:
Updating and improving existing product designs using CAD
Managing engineering changes through formal change control processes
Conducting physical testing and evaluation activities to support product improvements
Investigating product issues and supporting root cause analysis activities
Creating and maintaining engineering documentation, drawings and specifications
Supporting Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) activities
Working closely with suppliers and manufacturing partners to resolve technical issues
Supporting verification and validation activities
Maintaining product documentation in line with quality and regulatory requirements
About You
We are looking for an engineer with experience working within a regulated industry such as medical devices, diagnostics, aerospace or another highly controlled engineering environment.
You will ideally have:
Degree qualification in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline
Commercial experience in product design and development
Strong CAD skills, ideally using SolidWorks
Experience managing design changes through formal change control processes
Knowledge of DFMEA and risk management activities
Experience carrying out product testing and supporting engineering investigations
Strong documentation and technical report writing skills
Experience working within a quality management system
