Location: Plymouth
Salary: Up to £45,000 (Depending on Experience) 

Are you an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer with a passion for innovation and solving complex problems? We’re working with a forward-thinking organisation who are looking to expand their expert design team. This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a multi-disciplinary team of 30 engineers, contributing to cutting-edge product development from concept through to production.

Role Overview:

In this hands-on role, you’ll be instrumental in the full lifecycle of mechanical design projects – from initial concept development, through to prototyping, testing, and production handover. You’ll need to think creatively, offer practical solutions to mechanical challenges, and apply a strong understanding of manufacturing techniques and materials.

This position suits someone with an eye for detail, a proactive mindset, and a natural drive for high-quality, innovative engineering.

Key Responsibilities:
Design new products in collaboration with engineers across multiple disciplines.
Develop concept designs based on customer requirements.
Design components using a wide range of manufacturing processes, including:

Plastic Injection Moulding
CNC Machining (plastics & metals)
Sheet Metal Fabrication
Vacuum Forming
Aluminium & Plastic Extrusions
Build and evaluate prototypes to ensure functional performance.
Engage with suppliers to optimise designs for manufacture and cost-effectiveness.
Produce and maintain accurate Bills of Materials (BOMs), product costings, and engineering documentation.
Draft technical drawings and author engineering change notes for product release.
Research and integrate new materials, technologies, and processes to solve design challenges. What We’re Looking For:
Proven experience in mechanical design, ideally in a product development environment.
Strong CAD skills and familiarity with prototyping and testing methodologies.
A critical eye and the ability to challenge and refine your own designs.
Excellent communication skills – written and verbal – with the ability to work cross-functionally.
Proactive, inquisitive, and self-motivated – someone who thrives in a collaborative environment. Additional Information:
