- Measuring vehicles and components for design integration
- Supporting prototype and development builds
- Managing drawing revisions and technical documentation
- Assisting with new product development and continuous improvement
- Liaising with suppliers when required regarding components and manufacturing capabilities
What we’re looking for:
- Experience using CAD software is essential SOLIDWORKS and AUTO CAD
- Good understanding of fabrication and manufacturing processes
- Ability to design with production and assembly in mind
- Strong attention to detail
- Practical thinker with good problem-solving ability
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with multiple live projects
- Ability to communicate well with both office and workshop teams
