ABOUT THIS ROLE

The Senior Mechanical Design Engineer will contribute to the design and development of advanced, hand‑held premium consumer products. The role demands strong technical ownership, a delivery‑focused mindset, and the ability to produce high‑quality engineering work within fast‑paced development cycles. Success requires meticulous attention to detail, accountability for outcomes, and the ability to collaborate effectively across disciplines.

JOB ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Concept Creation & Prototyping:

Collaborate closely with Industrial Design, Electronics, and Product Innovation teams to generate early‑stage concepts for evaluation and testing.
Develop product assembly concepts, space models, and feasibility layouts.
Apply ergonomic and usability principles to hand‑held product concepts.
Produce prototypes and iterate designs based on testing insights.

Product Development:

Apply strong mechanical engineering fundamentals to develop robust, manufacturable designs.
Define key design parameters to support creepage, clearance, and ESD compliance.
Design for both high‑volume and low‑volume manufacturing environments.
Demonstrate strong capability in:
- Concept generation and problem solving
- 3D CAD (complex surfacing and solid modelling)
- Detailed part design and 2D engineering drawings
- Materials selection and manufacturing process definition
- Rapid prototyping and hands‑on lab techniques
Deliver designs suitable for injection moulding, die casting, extrusion, sheet metal, and a range of finishing processes.
Own the 3D CAD database and ensure accurate, complete 2D documentation.
Perform analytical tasks such as tolerance analysis, FMEA, DFSS, mould flow interpretation, and FEA.
Apply DFM/DFA principles, create Bills of Materials, and support part approval and tooling qualification.

Team Collaboration:

Work independently or as part of a wider team of Design and Project Engineers.
Lead or mentor junior engineers when required.
Contribute effectively within cross‑functional project teams, ensuring product requirements are defined, implemented, and validated throughout the development cycle.

Transfer to Manufacture:

Support the release of final design and manufacturing data to suppliers and manufacturing partners.
Engage regularly with external suppliers to review DFM/DFA feedback and resolve technical issues.
Assist in tooling reviews, pre‑production builds, and manufacturing validation activities.

REQUIREMENTS

Technical Background:

Degree or HND/HNC in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline, with extensive product design and development experience.
Minimum of 5 years’ experience developing electrical or electro‑mechanical consumer products.
Experience designing components for high‑temperature or demanding environments is advantageous.

CAD & Tools:

Strong proficiency in 3D CAD, including surfacing and solid modelling. PTC Creo and Windchill PDM experience is essential.
Familiarity with SolidWorks is beneficial.
Understanding of transferring electrical/electronic products into manufacture; knowledge of EN 60335 is desirable.

Personal Attributes:

Highly methodical with exceptional attention to detail.
Strong organisational and planning skills, with the ability to meet tight deadlines.
Comfortable working under pressure in a fast‑moving environment.
Builds strong working relationships across teams and with external partners.
Willingness to travel occasionally to China, the EU, and the US.
