Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

Senior Mechanical Design Engineer – Warwick This is an exceptional opportunity to join a world‑leading technical design consultancy specializing in the development of advanced, safety‑critical medical devices. The role offers the chance to shape next‑generation healthcare technologies, taking products from first principles through to market launch and making a direct impact on patient outcomes. You will collaborate closely with highly skilled engineers, scientists, and designers, solving complex technical challenges and delivering devices that meet the highest standards of performance, safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance. Key Responsibilities Lead mechanical engineering work packages within the development of novel medical devices, ensuring rigorous adherence to regulatory frameworks (ISO 13485, ISO 14971, IEC 60601, etc.). Develop complete mechanical architectures for devices including mechanisms, enclosures, actuators, fluid systems, and precision assemblies. Produce high‑quality CAD using SolidWorks, establishing robust design intent and managing complex assemblies. Perform simulation‑driven engineering using ANSYS (FEA) and CFD to assess structural integrity, thermal behaviour, fluid dynamics, and overall system performance. Drive iterative development using rapid prototyping tools and techniques (SLA, SLS, FDM, CNC machining, soft tooling) to accelerate verification cycles. Engineer components and assemblies optimized for high‑volume production, particularly injection moulding, automated assembly, and DFM/DFA best practice for medical devices. Lead design reviews, mentor junior engineers, and ensure engineering excellence across all technical outputs. Communicate clearly with clients, regulatory teams, and internal stakeholders, providing authoritative technical insight and documentation. Requirements Degree in Mechanical Engineering (1st or Upper 2nd class) or equivalent highly technical discipline. Substantial and demonstrable experience in medical device design is essential. Candidates without medical‑device experience will not be considered. Strong working expertise in SolidWorks for complex 3D modelling, mechanisms, and controlled documentation. Proven experience using ANSYS (FEA) and CFD tools for simulation‑led design and verification. Deep understanding of medical device development processes, including risk management, design controls, verification/validation, and regulatory considerations. Hands‑on experience with rapid prototyping, testing, and iteration to meet stringent performance and safety requirements. Strong understanding of high‑volume manufacturing techniques, especially injection moulding, and how they apply to regulated medical products. Excellent problem‑solving ability, attention to detail, and a proactive, ownership‑driven mindset. Ability and eligibility to work on‑site in the UK as required. What You Can Expect Work on high‑impact medical device programmes that progress to market and improve patient lives. Direct involvement in mechanism design, prototyping, verification testing, and design‑for‑manufacture decision‑making. The chance to create novel IP, help shape device architecture, and influence core technical strategy. Structured professional development, mentoring, and progression opportunities within a world‑class consultancy environment. Competitive salary with paid overtime. 22 days holiday (increasing with service), plus additional holiday bonuses. 37‑hour working week with half‑day Fridays. Annual discretionary bonus and fixed holiday bonuses. Pension scheme and cycle‑to‑work programme. Social events and sports clubs for team engagement. Consideration for hybrid working arrangements.
