- Take designs from concept through design reviews, customer feedback and into manufacture.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to deliver robust engineering solutions.
- Support New Product Introduction (NPI) programmes and future facility developments.
Essential Skills & Experience
- Strong mechanical engineering background.
- Previous experience using Creo and Teamcenter.
- Excellent understanding of GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing).
- Experience producing engineering calculations.
- Ability to interpret technical drawings and specifications.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to work across multiple engineering disciplines.
Desirable Experience
- Engine test facilities or development environments.
- Automotive, aerospace or heavy engineering industries.
- Knowledge of driveline systems and vibration analysis.
- Engine knowledge (beneficial but not essential).
What's on Offer?
