Engineering Drawings & Documentation:

  • Produce and maintain 2D manufacturing and assembly drawings for a range of complex products, covering multiple variants and individual components.
  • Manage and update Bills of Materials (BOMs) and associated metadata, coordinating with relevant departments when necessary.
  • Ensure effective version control of released drawings and mechanical CAD files.
  • Apply and verify engineering drawings using Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T), working closely with suppliers to understand process-specific tolerances.


General Duties:

  • Contribute to defining project requirements and assist in developing engineering specifications.
  • Prepare and maintain mechanical sections of technical construction files, providing necessary documentation such as DFMEA, product guides, and technical support.
  • Ensure compliance with product standards and specifications.
  • Manage material selection, engaging with suppliers to discuss materials, manufacturing processes, Design for Manufacturing (DFM), and Design for Assembly (DFA).
  • Coordinate and oversee mechanical testing programs within Research & Development (R&D).
  • Operate in compliance with the company’s Quality Management System and adhere to health and safety regulations.


Please note – Applications are only open to applicants who are eligible to live and work in the UK and do not require additional visa/sponsorship requirements in the future.


Required Skills & Qualifications:

  • Strong 3D CAD Skills (Solidworks, Creo or Inventor)
  • Strong proficiency in creating and maintaining engineering drawings, with a solid understanding of GD&T principles.
  • Experience collaborating with suppliers, particularly in managing manufacturing tolerances.
  • Expertise in material selection for manufacturing and experience working directly with suppliers on DFM/DFA processes.
  • Proven experience in designing electro-mechanical systems, motor selection, and gearbox design, with knowledge of processes such as aluminum extrusion, die casting, injection molding, and rapid prototyping. (Preferred)
  • Familiarity with product compliance standards and experience in preparing technical construction files.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, effective across all levels of the company, as well as with customers and suppliers.
