  • Participate and contribute to design reviews and critical project milestones, and prepare and maintain technical documentation, including design drawings, specifications, and reports.
  • Conduct failure analysis and troubleshooting on existing and new designs, proposing modifications to improve performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
  • Stay abreast of the latest technology trends and engineering best practices, integrating innovative solutions into designs where applicable.
  • Foster a culture of collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement, and become an ambassador for the wider company’s values.


Skills & Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Aeronautical, or Automotive Engineering; Postgraduate degrees are advantageous.
  • 2-4 years of relevant industry experience (following graduation).

  • Confident with basic hand calculations, component sizing, and a basic understanding of FEA.
  • A fundamental understanding of engineering materials (metallic/composite/plastic), fabrication processes and their application, as well as a variety of manufacturing techniques and when to employ them.
  • Strong familiarity with fundamental mechanical systems (e.g. bearings, shafts, casings, hydraulics, pneumatics).
  • Hands-on engineering experience is desirable, be it having made, built, or restored a mechanical system.
  • Ability to understand project plans quickly and work efficiently to deadlines.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively both in a team and independently, and interact with stakeholders at all levels.
