  • Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail, with the ability to troubleshoot complex engineering challenges
  • Effective communication skills, with the ability to influence cross-functional teams
  • Experience with quality management systems and standards (e.g., ISO 9001).
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a fast-paced environment

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Knowledge of finite element analysis (FEA); structural analysis of sheet metal components
  • Familiarity with industry-specific standards (e.g., ASME Y14.5 for geometric dimensioning and tolerancing)
  • Previous experience in a leadership or supervisory role

Summary:

This is an excellent opportunity for a senior mechanical designer/ engineer to join a fast-growing successful international organisation, a leader in R&D and manufacturing of highly niche high-tech systems for a wide range of applications in life science, industry, aerospace and more.
