In this role you will focus on:
  • Functional leadership of the engineering team, providing feedback and insights to ensure alignment to business goals and drive continuous improvement of systems, products and processes.
  • Collaboration with the product and project managers to set priorities, managing base cost, and effectively allocating resources per program and project requirements.
  • Maintaining an appropriate operating rhythm; driving simplification, efficiency, productivity, and overall team performance.
  • Supporting the implementation of engineering tools and processes to optimise engineering throughput and quality; ensuring that DFMA techniques are implemented in the design process.
  • Acting as a technical point of contact for all mechanical engineering topics related to our drive and switchgear products.
  • Developing innovative designs to meet all requirements for performance, reliability, cost and manufacturability for components and electromechanical assemblies with challenging requirements.
  • Creating 3D CAD models and 2D drawings in PTC Creo.
  • Creating and managing parts and BoMs in Siemens Teamcenter PLM system.
We are looking for a committed and professional individual with:
  • A degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent domain, or significant relevant experience in a mechanical design engineering environment.
  • Significant relevant engineering experience with good technical knowledge of manufacturing processes, sheetmetal design, DFMA, material science and equipment assembly techniques.
  • A strong track record in product development, ideally gained in the electrical equipment or power electronics sectors.
  • The ability to interpret electrical schematics and use them to develop suitable mechanical designs.
  • Demonstrable experience in a people leader or team leader role.
  • Good proficiency in the use of PTC Creo, or similar 3D CAD software for the creation of 3D part and assembly models and 2D drawings.
  • Good engineering, communication, and organisational skills.
  • Sole UK nationality and possession (or eligibility to obtain) UK security clearance to SC level.
What will make you stand out:
  • Experience in the design of LV and MV switchboards would be advantageous.
  • Experience of packaging of power electronics equipment.
  • Expertise in FEA and CFD, ideally using ANSYS Mechanical and Fluent.
  • Experience in the use of Siemens TeamCenter PLM software for BoM creation & management.
  • Experience of working with a de-centralised engineering team across international manufacturing sites.
  • Valid passport, a will and flexibility to travel internationally (short trips approx. a few times per year).
You can expect from us:
  • Challenging and exciting projects.
  • A work environment where everyone feels that they belong, that their contribution matters and where they are able to perform to their full potential, no matter their background, identity or circumstances.
  • We understand that not everyone has the same expectations about their jobs, careers and work-life balance, thus we are happy to discuss flexibility requirements.
  • Attractive compensation.
  • Flexible benefits so you can build a package that fits your personal needs. Some core benefits are: Employer pension contribution (not subject to individual contribution), Income protection, Private Health Insurance and Life Assurance.
  • 26 days vacation + bank holidays.
