We are looking for an exceptional mechanical engineer to join our team and help us solve challenging technical issues. The job will be very varied, as you would expect from a start-up – from developing concepts and prototyping hardware (e.g. for a new robot arm layout or end-effector), to design-for-manufacture of whole machine subsystems, to getting spanners out and building and testing machines. One thing is for sure – you will see your ideas turn into reality at scale!
Duties & Responsibilities
- Developing and analysing concept solutions to address new challenges
- Designing, building and testing prototypes
- Gathering requirements from the rest of the team
- Generating manufacturing drawings, BOMs and other documentation
- Contributing to FMEAs
- Drawing control
- Writing test documentation
Desirable Characteristics
- 3-10yrs experience of machinery design, ideally for high volume production
- The ability to flex quality and speed: from quick proof-of-concept work, to “right first time” design for manufacture, assembly and maintenance
- Proficiency in Inventor or Solidworks required (will be using Autodesk Inventor)
- Ability to get stuck in with the team but also solve problems independently
- Tolerance analysis skills & structural FEA would be beneficial
- Dynamics simulation and thermal analysis skills would be beneficial
- HND or degree qualified – we are looking for creative, motivated people
