Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

Are you a seasoned Mechanical Design Engineer ready to take ownership of high-precision, complex products from concept all the way to manufacture? Join a leading engineering and manufacturing business shaping innovative electromechanical systems used across the globe.

As a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer, you ll be at the heart of developing advanced mechanical assemblies from moving mechanisms and motors to sensors, enclosures, precision components, and thermal management systems. This is a hands-on, end-to-end design role, collaborating closely with production, electronics, testing, and manufacturing teams to deliver robust, manufacturable, and world-class products.

• Lead mechanical design projects across the full product lifecycle concept, feasibility, detailed design, prototyping, testing, and production release.

• Design complex precision mechanisms, electromechanical assemblies, drive systems, and sensor-integrated components.

• Develop cases, housings, frames, and thermal solutions for reliability and performance.

• Apply Design for Manufacture (DfM) and Design for Assembly (DfA) principles to optimise efficiency.

• Support build, test, validation, and production troubleshooting, ensuring products meet quality and regulatory standards.

• Create detailed CAD models, drawings, BOMs, and documentation for prototypes and production.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with electronics, software, quality, and operations teams.

• Strong mechanical design experience within engineered product environments (electromechanical, automation, robotics, instrumentation, or similar).

• Proven ability designing systems with motors, actuators, sensors, mechanisms, and thermal management.

• Confident working with precision components, tight tolerances, and complex assemblies.

• Highly skilled in 3D CAD (any major platform).

• Excellent problem-solving, creativity, and engineering rigour.

• Thrives in a fast-paced environment, taking products from concept to manufacture.

• Work on technically challenging, meaningful projects that make a real impact.

• Join a collaborative, forward-thinking team where your ideas and innovation matter.

• Enjoy genuine opportunities for progression and professional development.
