• Work closely with workshop, machining and fabrication teams
• Support prototyping, testing and installation
• Provide technical guidance to engineers and technicians

• Strong mechanical design background
• Excellent Solid Works experience
• Experience with Inventor, CATIA or Solid Edge advantageous
