Electromechanical Design Engineer

Job Description

Support the Design Engineering Lead and wider R&D function by taking electro‑mechanical product designs from requirements definition and investigation through detailed design, verification, documentation and manufacturing release. Apply strong electro‑mechanical engineering principles to develop reliable, manufacturable, and cost‑effective products that meet customer, regulatory, and performance requirements.

Support the Design Engineering Lead and wider R&D function by taking electro‑mechanical product designs from requirements definition and investigation through detailed design, verification, documentation and manufacturing release. Apply strong electro‑mechanical engineering principles to develop reliable, manufacturable, and cost‑effective products that meet customer, regulatory, and performance requirements. The role requires a self‑directed engineer who takes ownership of assigned work with appropriate autonomy for a mid‑to‑senior level engineer.

The role requires hands‑on CAD design using Solid Works, active participation in engineering change control, and close collaboration with cross‑functional teams to support new product development (NPD), product maintenance, and continuous improvement activities.

Carry out detailed design of electro‑mechanical assemblies, integrating mechanical components, electrical equipment, wiring and cable harnesses. Design and specify connectors, cable routing and interfaces between electrical and mechanical systems. Apply appropriate design considerations for electrical segregation, shielding, thermal performance, assembly and serviceability. Create accurate Solid Works 3D models, 2D drawings, BOMs, and specifications in accordance with internal standards and best practice.

Generate, manage, and implement Engineering Change Requests (ECRs) and Engineering Change Requests (ECRs), ensuring all design modifications are properly documented, evaluated, and released.

Support prototyping, testing and validation activities by analysing results, refining designs and independently investigating unfamiliar technical issues using available drawings, specifications, datasheets, standards and test evidence before seeking additional support.

Work with the Industrialisation and Manufacturing teams to ensure designs are optimised for production efficiency, quality, and cost.

Engage with R&D, sourcing, quality, production, and marketing teams to ensure product designs align with project goals and business objectives.

Ensure product designs comply with relevant standards (e.g., CE, UKCA), directives, and internal design guidelines.

Produce and maintain accurate design documentation including drawings, specifications, tolerance stacks, test reports, PLM entries, and release artefacts.

Champion and embed engineering best practice within the electrical engineering team, drawing on previous industry experience to develop and continuously improve drawing standards, design checklists and release processes.

Investigate field issues, quality feedback, or electromechanical assembly failures, implementing corrective actions and supporting product lifecycle enhancement.

• Strong experience using Solid Works for 3D modelling, assemblies, drawings, and design configuration management.

• Solid grounding in electro‑mechanical engineering principles, including materials, mechanical design, wiring/cable routing,…
