Seer Green Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom PerkinElmer Full time

Purpose

We use SolidWorks CAD software and are adopting a development process aimed at risk identification and management through a framework of technical and planning reviews.

We wish to recruit a Mechanical Engineer with a proven track record in designing manufactured products of a similar nature

The role demands an engineer to be creative, analytical, familiar with manufacturing processes and have good CAD skills. The candidate must have a pro-active approach and work well within multifunctional project teams. This entails both internally, within the local and extended teams, and also externally working with consultants and suppliers. The role requires the person to actively drive design quality and performance by championing a peer review process, undertaking failure mode analysis, and planning suitable risk mitigation activities.

Responsibilities

  • Mechanical design of analytical instrumentation and accessories, including:
  • Conceptualisation, implementation and verification of complete instrument systems.
  • Modelling, analysis and development of complex electro-mechanical mechanisms.
  • Design and integration of opto-mechanical and kinematic components.
  • Specification of engineering materials, surface finishes, and manufacturing methods.
  • Application of appropriate tolerancing for high precision components and assemblies.
  • Detailed part design, engineering documentation, selection and specification of purchased components.
  • Building and evaluating prototypes.
  • Design releases - technical product documentation (parts, assemblies, bills of materials & test specifications).
  • Transferring designs to manufacturing, developing assembly process, troubleshooting and supporting ramp up.
  • Support of Manufacturing and Field:
  • Troubleshooting and problem resolution activities

Process:

  • Work within our product development process
  • Conduct design reviews
  • Produce the required level of documentation
  • Drive continuous improvement of the mechanical engineering elements of our processes.
  • Mechanical Engineers work in a multi-disciplinary project team with other engineers; outside vendors; and individuals from other internal departments (procurement, manufacturing and marketing). The work is conducted within a structured development process designed to manage risk effectively.
  • A strong emphasis is placed on the ability to deliver systems to specification, on time and within their cost target.

Basic Qualification

Required:

  • Bachelor of Science, Mechanical Engineering
  • 5 plus years experience in the mechanical design and manufacture of electro-mechanical equipment
  • Knowledge of SolidWorks or similar mechanical CAD software
  • Knowledge of machining, sheet metal, castings and plastic moulding manufacturing processes and materials.
  • Ability to understand system requirements and develop optimal design proposals through theoretic analysis and modelling with due consideration of manufacturing tolerances.
  • Ability to design for cost effective manufacturing, assembly, and serviceability
  • Experience of mechanical engineering development within a multi-disciplinary team environment
  • Previous involvement in most aspects of the development life cycle, from initial analysis and design to implementation, testing and documentation
  • Experience in mechanical design including exercising responsibility for specifications and design reviews
  • Ability to assess technical risk and to formulate effective risk management strategy including analysis and evaluation program.
  • Ability to plan projects and allocate tasks

Advantageous:

  • Knowledge of physics a plus
  • Optics, pneumatics, vacuum, or thermal analysis experience a plus
  • At least 5yrs SolidWorks experience.
  • Experience of more advanced features (eg Mechanisms, FEA, CFD)
  • Some Experience with ProE (legacy products)
  • A working knowledge of Tribology
  • Experience in developing high precision designs
  • Experience of product development within a company making some form of measurement instrumentation an advantage
  • Familiarity with product design methodologies such as a life cycle model e.g. PACE
  • Scientific background or interests
  • Some business knowledge

Preferred Charateristics

  • Ability to work independently or as part of a large team.
  • Possessing a task- and goal-oriented mindset
  • Analytical thinking driven by data.
  • Ability to see both the small and the big picture.
  • Possessing strong organizational skills.
  • Problem solving aptitude.
  • Attention to detail.
  • Adaptable to change
