Full job description

We are looking for an experienced and practical 3D CAD Design Engineer to join our engineering team.

This is a hands-on engineering role working across a variety of automotive and vehicle engineering projects, from initial concept and reverse engineering through to detailed design, manufacture, prototyping and installation.

The successful candidate will have strong SolidWorks experience and be comfortable working with real-world vehicle components, assemblies and packaging constraints.

We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in the automotive, commercial vehicle, specialist vehicle or transport engineering industries who are equally comfortable working at a CAD workstation and getting involved with vehicles and components in the workshop.

Key Responsibilities

Create detailed 3D CAD models and assemblies using SolidWorks
Develop new components, brackets, structures, systems and vehicle installations from concept through to manufacture
Produce accurate 2D manufacturing and engineering drawings
Reverse engineer existing components and vehicle installations
Use 3D scanning equipment to capture vehicle, component and installation geometry
Process scan data and convert point clouds/mesh data into usable CAD geometry
Design parts specifically for 3D printing and rapid prototyping
Produce and test prototype components using in-house 3D printing equipment
Design components for a range of manufacturing processes including:
Sheet metal
Fabrication and welding
CNC machining
Laser cutting
3D printing
Composite and fabricated assemblies
Carry out vehicle packaging studies and check clearances, interfaces and component fitment
Develop CAD designs from sketches, measurements, existing components and engineering concepts
Work closely with workshop technicians, fabricators, suppliers and the wider engineering team
Attend vehicles in the workshop to measure, inspect, develop and validate designs
Support prototype builds, first-off installations and design improvements
Maintain accurate drawings, revisions and engineering documentation
Help develop design standards and improve engineering processes

Essential Skills & Experience

Minimum 3 years' professional 3D CAD/design engineering experience
Strong working knowledge of SolidWorks
Experience creating complex parts and assemblies
Strong understanding of engineering drawings, tolerances and manufacturing processes
Practical understanding of how components are manufactured and assembled
Experience taking a design from initial concept through to a manufactured component
Good dimensional and spatial awareness
Ability to solve engineering and packaging problems independently
Strong attention to detail
Ability to communicate effectively with both engineers and workshop personnel

Automotive Experience

Previous experience within one or more of the following would be highly advantageous:

Automotive engineering
Commercial vehicles
HGVs
Specialist vehicle conversions
Electric vehicles
Vehicle body building
Motorsport
Agricultural or off-highway vehicles

Candidates should have a good understanding of designing components that need to work reliably in a real vehicle environment rather than purely theoretical CAD design.

3D Scanning & Reverse Engineering

Experience with 3D scanning and reverse engineering is highly desirable.

This may include:

Vehicle and component scanning
Point cloud or mesh processing
Scan-to-CAD workflows
Reverse engineering existing components
Designing new components around scanned vehicle geometry

Experience with specific scanning software or hardware is advantageous, although training can be provided for the right candidate.

3D Printing

We regularly use 3D printing as part of our engineering and development process, so experience in this area would be beneficial.

Ideally, you will understand:

Designing components for additive manufacture
FDM/FDM-style printing
Material selection
Print orientation and tolerances
Prototype development
Designing jigs, fixtures and production aids
Taking a prototype from printed part through to final production design

Desirable Additional Skills

Experience in any of the following would be beneficial:

SolidWorks Sheet Metal
Weldments
Surface modelling
Large assemblies
Configuration management
GD&T
FEA / simulation
Electrical component packaging
EV or alternative-fuel vehicle systems
Vehicle homologation or type approval
CNC machining
Fabrication
Laser cutting
Composite component design

The Person

We are looking for someone who is practical, creative and engineering-minded.

You should enjoy solving unusual engineering problems and be comfortable developing something that may not already exist.

This role would suit someone who likes seeing their designs move from:

Idea → CAD → Prototype → Manufacture → Vehicle

rather than spending all of their time producing drawings behind a desk.

You will need to be comfortable working in a fast-moving engineering environment where projects can range from small individual components to complete vehicle systems and installations.

Qualifications

A qualification in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Product Design, Design Engineering or a related discipline would be advantageous.

However, relevant practical industry experience and a strong portfolio of engineering design work will be considered equally important.

Experience

Required:

3D CAD / Design Engineering: 3 years minimum
SolidWorks: Strong professional experience

Preferred:

Automotive or vehicle engineering experience
3D scanning / reverse engineering
3D printing / additive manufacturing

What We Offer

Varied and interesting automotive engineering projects
Opportunity to work on both prototype and production vehicle programmes
Hands-on involvement throughout the complete engineering process
Access to 3D scanning, CAD and additive manufacturing technology
Opportunity to see your designs manufactured, fitted and used on real vehicles
Friendly, practical engineering environment
Opportunities to develop within a growing engineering business

Job Type: Full-time, Permanent
Salary: Negotiable £35k+
Location: Deeside, Flintshire
Working Hours:

Monday – Thursday 08:30 – 17:00 Friday 08:30 – 13:00

Applicants are encouraged to provide examples or a portfolio of previous CAD, automotive, reverse-engineering or product-development work where available.

Pay: From £35,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Company pension
Cycle to work scheme
On-site parking

Work Location: In person
