About the Role Working within a multidisciplinary team of scientists and engineers, you will take ownership of mechanical design activities across the product development lifecycle, ensuring our instruments are robust, reliable, cost-effective and suitable for demanding operating conditions.

Your responsibilities will include:

Mechanical design:
Develop concepts, detailed designs, components, sub-assemblies and complete instruments using Solid Works and PDM.Design for manufacture:
Apply DFM and value engineering principles to reduce cost, part count and complexity while maintaining performance, quality and serviceability.

Prototyping and validation:
Support prototype assembly, component evaluation, system testing and product validation.

Engineering analysis:
Apply your knowledge of materials selection, thermal stability, fluid mechanics and mechanical design for harsh industrial environments.

Design assurance:
Participate in design reviews, risk assessments, DFMEA and accelerated life testing.

Technical documentation:
Produce and maintain manufacturing drawings, design records, test reports and engineering documentation.

Production support:
Maintain engineering data, including parts and bills of materials (BOMs), and support production changes and ongoing product improvements.

Cross-functional working:
Collaborate with electronics, firmware, operations, service and commercial teams to deliver designs that meet technical and business requirements.

Customer and supplier engagement:
Visit industrial sites to understand operating conditions and work with suppliers on component development, qualification and improvement.

You will also contribute to the continuous improvement of existing products, helping enhance performance, reliability and manufacturability throughout their service life.

Your Skills and Experience We are looking for a technically strong, hands-on engineer who can take ownership of mechanical design challenges and work effectively across disciplines.
