• Design precision ball screw components and assemblies.
• Create and maintain 3D CAD models, drawings, and engineering documentation.
• Perform engineering calculations including load, fatigue, stiffness, backlash, friction, torque, and thermal analysis.
• Support FEA, prototype development, testing, and validation activities.
• Analyse test results, investigate failures, and recommend design improvements.
• Collaborate with manufacturing to improve design for manufacture and support engineering changes.
• Prepare technical reports and participate in design reviews.

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
• 2-5 years' mechanical engineering experience.
• Proficiency with 3D CAD (Solid Works or similar).
• Strong understanding of mechanical design, machine elements, and GD&T.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.

• Experience with ball screw, linear motion, or electromechanical actuator design.
• Knowledge of FEA, reliability engineering, precision manufacturing, or aerospace standards.
• Experience with prototype testing and product validation.
