Mechanical Design Engineer

Location: Waterbeach

Thermoteknix is establishing a new Production Engineering team within R&D to transition products from development into robust, scalable manufacturing.

The Mechanical Engineer will play a role in ensuring mechanical aspects of new and existing products are optimised for manufacture, test, assembly, and long-term production support. This role covers production process development, fixture and jig design, documentation, and continuous improvement of manufacturing capability.

Key Responsibilities
New Product Introduction & Transfer to Manufacturing

* Support the structured transfer of products from R&D into engineering and manufacturing.

* Ensure mechanical designs are suitable for production through DFM/DFA reviews.

* Lead mechanical work streams within NPI projects, ensuring readiness for build and scale.

* Collaborate with design engineers to finalise manufacturable mechanical solutions.

Production Engineering Development

* Design and develop mechanical assembly fixtures, test jigs, tooling, and support equipment.

* Define and document mechanical build procedures, assembly instructions, and production workflows.

* Establish repeatable and controlled manufacturing processes for mechanical sub-assemblies.

Continuous Improvement & Manufacturing Optimisation

* Drive improvements in manufacturing efficiency, quality, and repeatability for products already in production.

* Identify opportunities to streamline mechanical assembly processes and reduce build time.

* Support cost-reduction initiatives through design refinement and improved production methods.

* Implement engineering change solutions to enhance manufacturability and reliability
