About the Role

We are seeking a skilled Mechanical Design Engineer to join our Bot Kinetics Systems team. As a mechanical design authority, you will provide technical decision-making and successful mechanical development of automation equipment from conception to launch, including post-launch upgrades.

You will combine the principles of engineering and product development with your own experience to ensure solutions are robust and meet all requirements. You will act as a key support by taking a hands-on role in projects.

Key Responsibilities

  • Act as a mechanical design authority on projects, guiding technical decisions and ensuring sufficient calculations and analysis to substantiate the final outcome.
  • Ensure solutions take into account the needs of all disciplines and stakeholders.
  • Demonstrate a thorough and logical working practice, documenting decisions, calculations, and evidence at every step of development.
  • Promote the use of a wide variety of tools to ensure designs are robust and optimized for manufacture.
  • Encourage creativity in problem-solving, the use of experiments, and early prototyping to reach the best outcome as quickly as possible.
  • Apply diverse experience to ensure all factors required for successful outcomes are considered, for example, EMC, regulatory compliance, weight, and cost management.
  • Ensure both project and technical risks are mitigated while schedules are met.
  • Have a hands-on approach, taking on designing components, sub-systems, and products where needed.
  • Perform prototyping, testing, and other empirical analysis.

About You

  • A proven track record of designing complex electromechanical automation systems or machines for high-volume production and high reliability.
  • Familiar with designing for manufacture in volumes up to 20K P/A.
  • A good degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent Mechanical Engineering qualification with experience.
  • Experience acting as the mechanical design authority on multi-disciplinary projects.
  • A knowledge of relevant technological developments and design methods.
  • Familiar with risk identification and activities to de-risk designs.
  • Demonstrable expertise in using CAD software, including substantial experience drafting to BS8888 with the use of GD&T.
  • The ability to work within a team on multiple projects, to prioritize tasks, and to manage your own time autonomously in a fast-paced, changing environment.
