PRODUCT DESIGN ENGINEER

Location: Harwell + flexible home working

JOB PURPOSE

To play a key role in the design and development of innovative products at OPD.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Working in our design team, you’ll bring your experience of product development to produce innovative designs that meet the specification, delight our clients, are reliable and cost effective to manufacture. If you’re a talented designer with an inquiring mind that is excited by the challenge of working in a fast paced consultancy environment then you’ll fit right in. Working collaboratively and building strong relationships with colleagues and clients is key to our success, but it’s also important that you can work independently and autonomously as well.


The consultancy environment will give you experience in a wide and diverse variety of work, allowing you to develop your technical skills and widen your commercial experience. You’ll find yourself working on all sorts of things – there really is no such thing as a typical week at OPD. What we can be sure of though is that you’ll get challenging problems to solve and be part of a skilled and friendly team who will support you along the way.


Our team of innovators are curious, experimental, creative and passionate. But our pragmatic, precise approach and highly technical expertise mean that manufacturability and risk management are at the core of everything we do. Each of our clients benefit from our shared passion and combined knowledge, and we bring together decades of experience across disciplines - from industrial design to mechanical engineering, electronics engineering, prototyping and manufacture.

ABOUT YOU

· A technically savvy, creative problem solver with a meticulous and methodical approach to the details of the design

· Degree qualified in mechanical engineering or related discipline

· High level theoretical understanding of the principles of mechanical engineering

· Good understanding of materials and manufacturing processes

· Clear and confident communicator with a preference for pictures over words

· Strong 3D CAD skills (preferably SolidWorks)

· Be able to demonstrate analytical and/or simulation skills

· Experienced and capable at building relationships with clients and suppliers

· Several years of demonstrable experience in product development, preferably within a consultancy environment

· Experience of bringing at least one product to market successfully

· Familiarity with ISO 9001 working processes

ABOUT US


At Oxford Product Design (OPD) we’re on a mission to make things better. Better for the products we design, the clients we work with, our people working here, our planet, and everyone we connect with along the way.


Our exceptional team of professional problem solvers work with both start-ups on ground-breaking new ideas, as well as some of the world’s leading brands on category-defining products that improve how we humans live and work.


As innovators we are curious, experimental, creative and passionate. But our pragmatic, precise approach and highly technical expertise mean that manufacturability and risk management are at the core of everything we do.


We are based in a beautiful historic barn in Harwell, Oxfordshire. There is plenty of on-site parking and the studio is well connected by bus and rail links. The collaborative nature of this role means that you will be expected to be in the office at minimum three days a week, but there is the opportunity to work flexibly from home as and when this fits with project delivery requirements.


WHAT YOU'LL GET IN RETURN


You’ll play a key part in our continued growth and work with great people in a supportive and flexible working environment.


We offer a competitive salary, health insurance, pension and bonus scheme. You’ll get 25 days holiday (plus bank holidays) and paid leave on your birthday, wedding day, or if you’re buying a house or taking your child for their first day at school. You can purchase another 5 days of holiday a year, spread across 12 months, or sell back holiday at any point. After 3 years of working at OPD you can apply for an unpaid sabbatical of up to 3 months, increasing to 6 months after 6 years.


You’ll be allocated ten days of training per year, with a training budget of up to 5% of your annual salary. We’re a member of the cycle to work scheme which allows you to purchase a bike and related accessories tax free, we offer season ticket loans and have an Employee Assistance Programme for you and your family. And if you’re in the office on a Thursday, we’ll buy lunch for you
