Role : Senior Mechanical Design Engineer (contract) Duration : 3-6 months (client flexible) Location : Hybrid (onsite prototype sessions expected) Start : ASAP preferred Software : SolidWorks required (contractor must supply own licence / seat and PC) Overview We're recruiting a seasoned mechanical design contractor to develop and validate a folding mechanism for a new trolley. The project will use an existing design concept that needs detailed mechanical interrogation, refinement and production-ready documentation. The successful contractor will own the SolidWorks modelling work, support prototype assembly / testing, and hand over manufacturable drawings and BOMs. Day-to-day / deliverables Review and interrogate the existing concept for kinematics, loads and failure modes. Develop full SolidWorks models and detailed drawings (GD&T applied). Produce tolerance stack-ups and tolerance analysis to ensure mechanism function. Provide DFMA recommendations and material selection advice. Create test plans, assemble prototypes, carry out hands‑on testing and lead iteration cycles. Produce final production drawings, BOM and a short validation / test report. Liaise with client engineers and suppliers where required. Must-have skills / experience Proven experience with mechanisms, mechanical linkages and scotch yoke style kinematics. Senior mechanical design background – typically 5+ years (or equivalent demonstrated experience). Advanced SolidWorks capability (surface & solid modelling, large assemblies, configurations). Must have own SolidWorks licence / seat and a capable machine. Strong understanding of GD&T and tolerance analysis. Structural engineering fundamentals: ability to interpret / perform basic FEA checks, understand stresses, fatigue and safety factors. Practical prototyping experience – hands‑on with assembly, jigging, test rigs and iteration. Good workshop awareness and familiarity with common manufacturing processes (machining, sheet metal, injection moulding, weldments). Clear communicator; able to deliver concise design documentation and test summaries. Desirable Experience producing BOMs and liaising with suppliers. Prior work on folding / telescoping mechanisms, trolleys or compacting / folding furniture / transport systems. Experience with SolidWorks Simulation (advantage, not essential). Equipment expectation (contractor must supply) Own SolidWorks seat / licence. Own laptop / PC capable of handling large assemblies (recommended: modern multi‑core CPU, 32GB+ RAM, SSD, CAD GPU). Brief spec in reply is fine #J-18808-Ljbffr
