- Develop robust solutions from initial concept through to detailed design, simulation (FEA), and full‑scale production.
- Apply rigorous DFM (Design for Manufacture) principles, working closely with manufacturing partners to ensure your designs are efficient, reliable, and cost‑effective.
- Conduct hands‑on testing and validation to prove system performance and reliability, iterating on designs to perfection.
- Collaborate closely with a multi‑disciplinary team of software engineers, applied scientists, and academic partners to integrate your mechanical systems into a cohesive, intelligent product.
- Manage technical relationships with suppliers and external partners to source and develop critical components.
- A degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related technical field.
- Significant, demonstrable experience in designing and testing complex mechanical systems (e.g., robotics, automation, mechatronics, or special‑purpose machinery).
- Expert‑level proficiency in 3D CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Onshape, etc.).
- Deep, practical knowledge of a wide range of manufacturing techniques (e.g., CNC machining, injection moulding, sheet metal fabrication, 3D printing) and DFM.
- Hands‑on experience with system assembly, integration, and validation, including tolerance analysis and BOM management.
- Passionate about applying deep knowledge to solve complex, real‑world problems.
- Proven track record of taking sophisticated mechanical systems from a prototype right through to a fully validated, production‑ready solution that’s deployed at massive scale.
