Electromechanical Design Engineer

Responsibilities

• Design and develop electromechanical assemblies, including mechanisms, actuators, housings, and electrical interfaces.
• Collaborate with electronics, systems, mechanical and manufacturing teams to ensure seamless integration.
• Support prototype development and provide design input during build, integration and verification activities.
• Produce 3D CAD models, detailed drawings and tolerance analyses in line with project and industry standards.
• Consider environmental, vibration, thermal and materials factors during design and analysis.
• Participate in design reviews and technical discussions with internal teams and customers.
• Generate design documentation, including BOMs, design notes, and verification-related material.

• Degree level qualification in Mechanical, Electromechanical, or Mechatronics Engineering (or related discipline).
• A lower qualification would be acceptable for example HNC/HND should the candidate be able to demonstrate significant demonstrable relevant experience in lieu.
• Strong mechanical design fundamentals.
• CAD proficiency (Solid Works, Creo, Inventor or similar).
• Understanding of DFM/DFA.
• Ability to work with electronics and systems teams.
• Understanding of tolerance stack-up principles.
• Knowledge of materials selection and manufacturing processes.
• Familiarity with FEA tools for structural or thermal analysis.
• Understanding of environmental and qualification considerations (vibration, shock, thermal).
• Ability to design sealed or ruggedised enclosures.
• Awareness of defence, aerospace or industrial standards and practices.
• Experience delivering electromechanical design within a regulated or safety-critical environment (defence, aerospace, industrial, rail, medical).
• Working with electromechanical systems such as motors, actuators, sensors or harnessing.
• Supporting prototype build, integration and verification from a design perspective.
• Designing for environmental demands including vibration, shock, thermal and ingress protection.
• Producing detailed CAD models, drawings and tolerance stack-ups in a professional engineering environment.
• Designing sealed or ruggedised enclosures or assemblies.
• Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams including electronics, systems and manufacturing engineering.
