Permanent Full-time

We are seeking a highly capable Product Design Engineer to join our multidisciplinary product design team. This role is suited to an experienced Industrial Designer or Mechanical Engineer with strong experience working in a variety of industries. In this role you will be involved in a wide range of design activities as you join our team developing innovative new products. Working closely with our quality, hardware and software teams you will contribute to the full product development lifecycle, driving innovation, conceptual development, detailed technical design, and preparation for manufacture.

You will also share this knowledge with the organization more broadly, mentoring junior engineers and designers, and striving to optimize our internal processes.

• Conducting technical research and interpreting applicable standards and regulatory requirements.
• Translating customer needs and user insights into clear design inputs and engineering requirements.
• Developing innovative mechanical solutions, particularly for miniaturized, flexible, or steerable systems.
• Creating and iterating detailed product designs in 3D CAD, from concept through to production‑ready definition.
• Designing and executing prototype builds, verification tests, and validation activities.
• Driving design for manufacturability, working closely with suppliers to optimize tooling and production processes.
• Collaborating with cross‑functional teams, including electronics, software, and industrial design.
• Liaising with clients, clinical stakeholders, and suppliers to ensure alignment and technical feasibility.
• Producing complete, production‑ready documentation, including engineering drawings, specifications, and technical files.

• Minimum 5 years’ experience working as a mechanical or product design engineer in a product development environment.
• Experience creating design presentations and presenting to internal and external stakeholders.
• Design of complex assemblies involving tight tolerances, moving interfaces, and flexible elements (e.g., shafts, articulation mechanisms, cable‑driven systems, or compliant mechanisms).
• Proficiency in 3D CAD (Solid Works preferred) including advanced surfacing, parametric modelling, and large assembly management.
• Proficiency in analyzing tolerance stacks in complicated assemblies and completing engineered fit calculations.
• Integration of mechanical systems with electronics and/or embedded components, including cable routing, sealing, and packaging within constrained geometries.
• Experience generating and maintaining design documentation for various manufacturing processes, including drawings (ASME Y14.5 GD&T), specifications, BOMs, and technical files.
• Strong collaboration with manufacturers and suppliers, including prototyping vendors, toolmakers, and contract manufacturers.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.

• Experience creating presentation renderings using software such as Keyshot or similar.
• Development and execution of design verification testing (DVT), including fixture design, test method development, and data analysis.
• Detailed design of injection moulded plastic components, including knowledge of draft, shrinkage, tooling constraints, and material flow.
• Hands‑on experience with assembly, testing and integration of complicated robotic mechanisms.
• Experience with rapid prototyping techniques.

• Accountable to the Ingenuity management team and our customers for performing work to the highest standard in alignment with our quality management system.
• Delivering project milestones and tasks efficiently and in line with company and project budgets.
• Accurately capturing and accounting for work time to ensure timely billing to customers.
• Bringing a positive and “can do” attitude to work everyday.
• Being an active and helpful participant in each team you form part of and seeing tasks through to completion.
• Learning and sharing new skills which benefit our colleagues and clients.
• Keeping our workplace safe and making it a positive and fun environment to work in.
